Thank you for the file which I've downloaded and tried out. The do all look very different.

Nicely done. Especially the bed and the windows. Did you try tone mapper Reinhard? Maybe you can make the room brighter while keeping look through open windows as is.

Thank you! I didn't do the bed though
I didn't try Reinhard, because I don't understand it.

Sobol is ugly and should never be used.
UUHHH What

I don't understand that either

Could you post a side-by-side comparison - or have you just done that? They look totally different?

Thanks

Nope. I didn't intend to discuss this.

That test scene has nothing to do with your room scene. For the test scene BiDir render engine or Path Tracing+Light Tracing is better because of the reflected light by the mirror. In your room scene you have a big window opening with direct light. In that scene OpenCL Path tracing could be faster.

That's still a WIP, but I'd say it's looking good so far, and I hope it'll get better with time!
Plus, thanks for the explanations on how to do this or that, for the tricks and guides, I committed a mistake and mentioned I was learning how to use a graphic design program at work, the boss overheard, and now I'm supposed to learn as quick as possible (in my free time, of course) so that I can model what the company offers in places like these flats in Berlin ... So I have to become proficient really fast, and you guys really do help!

The outside scenery is most interesting and seeing it animated would be awesome!

I'm afraid it wouldn't It's not the scenery what's getting animated. Hedge to the left has ~83000 tris per meter. That's about 100 times more than I want it to be and approximately 1.5 times less than needed to fill gaps.
Parallelepiped with texture seem to be the wrong way to do hedges.
Chain-link fence has 180k per 3x2.8 section.

The image is a little blurry, but I can't probably afford more than 150 secons per frame. That's Bidir+Metropolis. Also I can't render with GPU, because of clcreatebuffer error. It render 2 to 10 frames then stop. I'd rather render with CPU.

I (suddenly) found that all my materials were reflecting too much light. I'm trying now to find correct values.
