This looks really great. I like the wear and tear on the table. Really good attention to detail to the fly. Did you catch one and stare at it lol.

Hey Arran

The workplace render looks great, good work on that man, is it a Mental Ray render?

For the fly it migh be worth looking into maya fur and painting some baldness maps for him. Then again it could be ott, but it would be easier than adding polys and painting maps etc.

Hi.
Thats looking really good.
Do you mind telling me how many lights you have in the scene and are they all using photons?
Whats your render time at the moment with both FG and GI on.

Thanks user added image

There's nothing normal about normals. In FACT i think the are abnormal.
