Had a chance to do some modeling on the couches and chairs. I've then taken the models into zbrush and added stitching, ripples and folds for some displacement. I've attached a render(before displacement) and a zbrush preview. The preview and material are not the final render, but rather a real-time preview to see if I was headed in the right direction.

Had a chance to do a tiny bit more modeling: the fireplace and a few odds and ends. I also started to set up the lighting. It's pretty slow to render for the time being, about 30-40 minutes on my quad-core pc, but it uses physical sky and sun, 9 portal lights with big area shadows, photon global illumination(3mil), final gathering, and 3+ million triangles.

I got a chance to do a little more work on this scene today. I've started to add some place holder models so that I can get a feel for how everything will fit together. The dining room set, the couches and chairs, dishes, etc. will get refined later once I've decided I like their general shape and position. I'm going to start in on the lighting tonight if I get the chance.
Monitor Audio Speakers

These speakers were started as a rendering test. They are based on a mixture of Monitor Audio's Gold and RS line of speakers, which are just fantastic looking IMO. The real thing is next on my home theater shopping list - when i'm not poor, that is :).

So this is my first entry. All I have to say is that ZBrush is not as easy as many great artists make it look! Should I be surprised? :P I'm getting along decently now, but still coming to grips with the good, but unconventional interface.
