Description
Made the scene easily enough and then spent hours moving things around, trying to catch the right light. With IBL, I wish I could move the skydome instead of having to move the scene. Made the HDRI image from an old render.
If you spot what looks like an obvious mistake, it's not. It's an illusion and is intentional.

made everything in Hexagon and AmapiPro.

the right hand window in ibl click on that move mouse skydome moves. very nice image.
I spotted the illusion and really liked it, after all, cyristal balls are all knowing and all seeing..lol Nice work again Dave! [=
WTG Title reminds me one of my favorite song from STYX
cool looking maybe tab button will help to get to skydome
Wll done !
Love this one, so nice. I found that immobile skydome too - and just naturally went to move the "sun" control - to no avail - Every little tweak takes hours to render, eh? Yhe only thing I can figure, is that you can rotate the dome image with HDRShop and reload, but that's even more work than rotating the model. So, hrmphh!
I agee with Lemonjim i try also to change the HDRI image or to rotate the model and stil is a lot of minutes to render and hard to work with.Excellent image.
wow - excellent image! Very well done
Spectacular render!!!!
Slow glass!
