Spot the obvious flaw

Calibre Designs

Hello people,

A potential client of mine may give us an opportunity in the new year to do some interior designs for him. Its a neat way to dress empty offices without having to buy and move furniture in. We can do it by using photo realistic rendering. He has asked me to send him some samples our work.

Found this image while going through my files. Before I was about to send it, I noticed a flaw in the image.

Lets see who can spot the flaw.

((Big thanks to mint print for uploading this image on is site ))
 
The shadows inside the building do not match the shadows outside the building.

The outside image has been rendered with the sun in a different position to the sun position used for the inside image.

e.g there should be shadows leading from the trees towards the building.

Regards

Dotty

Forget the shadows (I thought they'd split up anyway) - no toys left having not been tidied up, no 3 week old toffee stuck where it shouldn't be, no 'long lost favourite toy' stuffed down the back of a settee, can't find a 'my little pony' being assaulted by Polly Pocket, and worst of all - no messy greasy handprints about 3 foot up on the copious quantities of glass.

I'm going for the staircase. That staircase needs a stanchion on the corner of the landing. Any chance of engineering such a staircase would leave no possibilty of blindly wiring up the light.
Timber? no chance, Steel? no chance, Reinforced precast concrete? maybe at a push, but your gonna need some trunking to hide the wires.

edit... ohhh and the picture on the wall is on the p!$$. Artist perspective i think they call it

As well as the shadows being all wrong, the handrail thingy on the stair case looks all wrong, does not look parallel on the bottom part, middle bit has insufficient rails compared to the other bits and the top part the rails appear to going through the actual staircase.
Not sure what that thing on the underside of the table is, and if its meant to be there.
The chairs although appearing to be of the same design, have completely different structure of the legs beneath (left chair has a support bar going across, right does not).

Hi sorry guys and girls...

Probably a really bad day to post this as I have not been around much today. A big project has taken up my time so it was research and visit day today. Only popped by for lunch and had to shoot out again.

I really did not realise that this would have generated so many replies so I apologise for keeping you in suspense.

The first and correct answer is....

Interior shadows and exterior shadows don't marry.
Interior light source 10 o'clock, exterior 3 0'clock.

(Gives it a certain "tension" is the usual excuse!)


No prizes though.....or maybe....;)
