I’ve had issues with Nicky’s method where the image shows ‘half above/half below’ – I won’t go into details but it looks odd. Another method is to use the picture frame in Room_DEM or DEC and change the picture to match the external scene. I then use transparent glass in the window and stick the frame just outside.
It’s also nice to sometimes duplicate pictures they might have in their home.
Little touches like this tend to have the habit of blowing other kitchen companies out of the water (at least until they catch on and start doing the same).
I have 2 designers in one showroom who have just put in 50″ TVs to show the client their kitchen on a nice big screen. As well as showing the live render view, they will be able to show Panoramic renders and control the view via an iPad connected to an Apple TV box. I’ve done the same with an Android Tablet/Phone connected to a Kodi box. In each case, when the TV isn’t in use for a client., it will be showing photos and renders.
Our ultimate aim in that showroom is to have a relaxed viewing and discussion area with an even bigger display (possibly projector), coffee machine etc. If this leads to increased sales, we will roll out at the other showrooms.
