Description
Just playing with photometric / IES lighting in Carrara 8, trying to develop additional realism / lighting skills. Been really busy again, so not much time for anything but playing. (For the Carrara-heads out there, I posted a thread on this in the Carrara forum.)
My urban warrior Tanye, keeping an eye on her "new" car LOL! She'll ease up after the first bit of parking-lot rash appears LOL...
I'll post another camera angle on this scene tomorrow.
Thanks for looking!
UPDATE: Since a few of you asked -
- The car is a freebie at ShareCG
- The set is Stonemason's Backstreets at Daz3D
- Shaders for both tweaked/replaced by me to work better in Carrara

Excellent work! Great looking lighting! I remember using that set once, trying to get lights to shine through that lower level windows... never did happen for me, lol. I look forward to the next view.
Excellant Carrara remder///Place looks deserted..Anyone lurking in the shadows to steal that great car?
A Karmann ghia! I love that car - the "italian" VW. I'd love to know where you found the model. Superb job on the lighting. It is completely believable.
THe atmosphere and scene are excellent!!!!!
Highly convincing light here. Love that pose, she is a vigilant one!
If that was my car, I'd be standing guard over it too. Great pose and very realistic scene.
I really love the way you captured the lonely street. Your lighting is great! Love to see more!
Cool scene nice ambience achieved with the photometric lighting. nice shadows too keep playing your off to a great start!! Is by far one of the hardest things to master in any medium am still learning my self....
Nice work on a really cool looking scene Larry
Great scene - particularly love the lighting!
The scene is very realistic and the lighting looks perfect for the scene. The character somehow looks a little stiff. Maybe a more casual pose and a little more drape in the clothing. Excellent render.
