Description
This image is the result of many hours of rendering and 3delight crashes- 6 times I rendered this each taking 6 hours and every time a crash at 80% complete, it was not until I had stripped the scene to the bone and picked a POV with little ground showing that I completed a render.
I got there in the end

Excellent image! Great lighting!!!! Love the shadow too! 5++
it was worth it great lighting
It's a wonderful scene and worth all the time you put in. It seems a tad long for rendering in DAZ. Check your settings for the gloss and reflection, if they are too high it can take forever to render. Also make sure you safe immediately after adding another object. I have had crashes when I start to add more objects and then try to render, but if I save first, then render it seems to cure the problem.
Great scene and lighting!
Hard labour but the result is worth the blow of it !! Bravissimo !!
Great Work! Wonderful Light, Shadow and big (i mean the House seems to be very big).
~ DLG ~ WOW!!!! Awesome scene! The work really paid off on this. Fantastic lighting and comp! 10+++++
DLG, Very well done. My laptop has a problem with the 3 delight setting and I allways have to change the pov several time's to make thing's work... anyway love the lighting and the scene has a great & real life feeling to it...awesome artwork...
DLG :0]) WOW wonderful work, I dont know how you have the patience. my new image rendered for 1hr and 30mins and that is to long for me.
absolute stunning! All that frustration and hard work paid of . Good things take time.
DLG Sounds like a painful process to get there, but the image rocks! Got Faded Industry in my shopping cart
You did a fantastic render, I would of screamed really loud if it kept getting to 80 percent but I dont do the kind of work you and some other guys do, love the lights you picked for this Anglea
DLG Excellent render. Looks great!
DLG~ This is awesome, looks like a photo, the lighting is dead on. You should be very proud of this one!
DLG, great scene, I thought it was a photo! Lighting is top. Thanks to your perseverance!
** DLG ** great image looks very very real
Try rendering by layers. Build the full scene and save it. Now delete all items in the foreground and render. Reload the scene and delete all the items in the background. Use TGA 32bit alpha settings. Blend the image back together in PS or Gimp. Really nice camera angle.
DLG :) WOW! ...speechless for a moment here... Excellent lighting and a true showcase for Dreamlight's product!!!! BRAVO!!!!! (But whats wich the Potograph settings?? what are they for?)
Callad, the photo setting relate to the photo background that can be visible through the door and windows
DLG - wonderful scene! I love the lighting and shadows. You've got way more patience than I'll ever have! I couldn't have stuck with it that long, but the results were certainly worth it.
DLG.. I love this!! reminds me of a game I played once (can't remember the name) Excellent job :)
DLG- - -> Excuse me, gotta sit back and take this one in slowly... Man, this looks so real it's amazing! Changing the angle might have been a sacrifice to the shadow detail, true, but the glow through the windows is magnificent. Fantastic piece of art!
DLG Brilliant! Great lighting and composition. Sorry to hear about the crashes... they can be frustrating.
DLG------->> i love it the backdrop provides many opportunities for advancement and storys
