Hello Hans - a few quick questions.
First - is this a final composite of the scene? There's several things I'd
fix if I were you that would be pretty simple in photoshop.
2nd - Most software starts having problems with massive ammounts of geometry
- it's just the ceilings are different in different packages. I know that
maya, houdini, and renderman have to be tweaked considerably to handle
massive poly scenes, and in most cases the best solution is to render the
scene in pieces and then comp it together.
I used to render everything together at once, but after having progressed to
doing more complex scenes myself, and having worked on a big production, I
cant even imagine trying to render any of my scenes in one pass anymore. So
dont feel bad about "having" to render seperate passes.
If you want a detailed list of things that I'd tweak on the image, I'd be
glad to do a break-down - I've got a pretty durn picky eye by now : ) - but
I'm not sure if it's done or not.
Very pretty image.
