Here's a scene I rendered for sliding door corner-setup. This is to promote the product for use in residential care facility or hospitals.

no thoughts, no feedback ?

I was sure I'd already commented on this... ah well. must be old age

I like the lighting and colour scheme, the blown out area that spans across the Invisdoor itself is a little off-putting, but other than that, good job

Hi phillippe!
I have a question, there is a rail on the top where the doors can slide, shouldnt be another one on the floor? Or the design is meant to have one railway?

Nice use of color.

In the underside of the door-panel, there is a rail routered out. Inside you have a U-shape profile. Then on the floor just inside the space where the door goos into the wall, there is a pin-like foot mount. This prevents the door from hinging from the top rail.

I have (installed) one of these doors in my house and I am very happy with the result. Particularly because when the door is open, it is 100% open and flush with the wall. (As you can see with the right door panel on the second render) If your door-way can only be 800cm of less ... it's a good thing to have to enable you to confortably walk trough with ... say a tray or other big household items. You DO need the special hand-grip on the door to be able to pull it out again, but it's not ugly.

I see what you mean ... most light of my scene comes from "outside" on the right ... there is an imaginary window there .. If I were to reduce the environement light, my scene would become to dark for my taste. I could however tone down the wall color a tad to get ridd of the blown out zone ... but again, I think the scene would become darker. Unless, I do the toning-down only on the door panel and the wall opposite the "window" ... but then I'd have to re-edit the model and re-import ...
But you are 100% right

Unless perhaps if I do both things ... tone down the wall color AND increase the environement light ... that might be worth a shot ..

I see, 100 % an efficient installation!
Thanks for the reply.
