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 ))

Is it the shadow on the wall?

 

[SK Virtual Assistant]

The shadow of the stairs is going the wrong way, I'm sure.

Or am I going slightly mad ....

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!)

 

[Bathead]

I thought it was the angle of the shadow from the mid point of the stairs under the picture.

Inside and oustide shadows. Shadows on left of hill and right in house.

 

[Watis]

It is - without the shadow of a doubt - the picture on the wall, which is upside down!

There's no smoke without fire . . .

The apple fell on the table just before the render finished.

The staircase is a bit of a structural challenge, but perhaps not impossible.

The handrails are wrong. Should be 1100 over the landing area, and you can't join the inside handrails at the first corner, as there are two rises at that point.

Is that what you meant?

 

[stugster]

There's a naked woman looking out of the window of the building across the river.

 

[Sally@CC]

I may be being a dunce but the shadow on the wall under the picture looks like it just shouldn't be there, I can't see any horizonal railings that correspond with the shadow.

Or was I just looking too hard?

I think there's a missing shadow from the landing on the left of the picture

 

I would not walk down those stairs.

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.

High quality answers I must say and some very creative indeed !

 

[Joyous]

I give up, what is it?

 

[estwig]

Of course not Grandad!!!!!

 

[SillyJokes]

It's the inside and outside shawdows not working, but i did wonder if it is the smudge on the left hand chair seat for a moment.

 

[vvaannmmaann]

The trees are not casting any shadows.

 

[Stephen Berry]

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.

 

[steviemac]

dont know what the flaw is, but the post is obviously a bit of cheap promotion for your business I guess.

 

Of course not Grandad!!!!!

Oh hilarious .I hope it rains all winter,try sticking your rotten bricks together then.

[estwig]

Lol

You've seen my house then!

 

[Sally@CC]

What is the flaw???? People are getting frustrated here

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.

Steve

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

 

[Simon-M]

It's been said already but the second floor is not casting any shadow. That big bit of the staircase people asre talking about engineering. It is like Dracular.

 

[ken_uk]

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).
There is no date on the copyright notice.

 

[Tigglet]

Does the owner of the correct answer win a prize?!

I agree with Dawg - post #3

 

[Lasting Designs]

somebodies nicked the telly screen from it cabinet! Or that the underside slope on the third flight of steps has a verticle step (shadow) when it should just continue as a slope until it meets with the landing.

 

[CMW]

Heres a dumb guess, is it the legs on the table, because I had to look twice and thought you had put a lipstick next to it,


yes look hard you can see it.

Cj:redface:

 

[estwig]

The stairs are wrong, me is not good at describing, this the best I can do is to say the perspective is wrong, the angle you are looking from shows the stairs incorrectly.

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....

 

[DotNetWebs]

Damn...

I got this but didn't realise Dawg had already posted it. (well done Dawg).
