Virtual Coffee Shop

So I bought this coffeeshop, because I had a coupon and I don't have that many little stage/building props that are "normal" (I probably have every gothic ruin that has ever been made, and a few Greek and Aztec ones) But sometimes you need a modern setting, and here was this cheap and sleek looking coffeeshop. It turns out that it needed a bit of fixing up--there were lights, but there were no settings to make the lights glow (that I could find), and the tiles and textures weren't really optimized for the render engine I was using. So I set to work installing lights, cleaning up the counters, and generally making it look more inviting. It was a good way to learn how to apply textures in Daz Studio, too. (You see how I justify procrastinating) Here is the other side of the original shop after I got a couple of lights installed:

It's just..dark. You can see where I have managed to line up two spotlights with some of the lights, but since I am still not fast at moving objects around, it was a challenge. I ended up creating an extra camera so I could look down the length of the glass lights and see where I was putting the actual lights. In poser you can click on the location of the light bulb, create a light, and then type in the same coordinates for x, y and z and poof! The light pops right into the place you told it to go, For some reason this was not working in Daz Studio, and I am not sure why yet. Anyway, after some time, I got the bulbs all lit. I also redid the floor, because the tiles looked like counter tile made large, and it was bumpy. so I stole a wood texture from a tabletop and put it on the floor and made it glossy:

I also found where I could recolor some of the cups. I also didn't much like the art on the wall, so I swapped that out with images I had in my files:

I put a forest in the back and an agapanthus in a pot (I thought I had some ivy in a pot, but it turned out to be attached to the prop wall I bought it with, so I left it alone and brought in the lily instead). Here's the front with a street view and red cups, and a new tile surface:

The tip jar needs to be clear and have money in it. I'm just afraid to add a barista, because after adding all those lights and extra props I am not sure I can load a polygon and memory-intensive "person" in there. I'm going to have to render any people in a separate file and put them in like paper dolls :D If I get a new computer with more memory, I might make more props for it that I can move around--a wastebasket, trash, a cuter font for the chalkboard, signs for the walls...maybe a cat or two.  Right now I have a Poser Python... and that isn't too cuddly. He is low-poly, though!
I actually put him in and tried to render the scene again-- and he pushes the memory count just over the limit, so unless I remove a light or two, this is how he will look:
