Description


I'm just experimenting with sunlight and environment in Cararra, trying to improve on my last image... I think this one is overexposed.

Reminds me of a very bright summer day. the type of day that forces one inside a malt shop to cool off til nightfall

Great job. It looks somewhat off only as compared to the sky. You've got a lot of grey tones in the bottom half. The light is very bright, but not overexposed. However, the sky is too dark. I recommend going into your scene settings, into realistic sky, and ramping up global brightness to about 110% or 120%.

Oooh, which building set is that? Lighting and shadows can make or break a scene... Also, go into your sunlight - effects tab, and enable soft shadows. Set to a value of aprox 19ft or 600cm if you havn't already. the default value for soft shadows is the same across all light types. Can also try ramping up Skylight to 185-200% in the render tab... The atmosphere gives of 'blue light' so shadows usually have a blueish colouration to them. It'll look more realistic. Try this in addition to what evinrude said about the atmosphere global brightness. I've been struggling to get that realistic photograph look also...

Reminds me of a friend's photo in which a bright sunlit foreground (a school) was backed up by an almost black stormy sky. I think it's great the way it is . . . shadows could be softened slightly . . . (I'm trying).

Must be doing something right I mistook it for a photograph at first look. Shadows can be tricky, since depending on time of day and atmosheric conditions, and so on, they can be very soft or very harsh. I always try to make my shadows fit/enhance the mood I am going for rather than try to achieve total realism.

Looks good, but I'd also suggest you check your ambient light. For realism, I personally don't like to go higher than 4-5%.

I've had Carrara for months and have never done anything with it. You have inspired me. And where did those buildings and textures come from? Did you make them from scratch?

For those of you whom are asking, the buildings are from Stonemason's urban sprawl.

There is a ominous ambience in this one, like you would expect a Zombie or some night mare creature to crawl out one of the No Human seen buildings...Thanks for the review of my work. Damned.mp3 - Steven P. Dargis
