    spuddy : comparing all your renders, just a bit confusing, but you're right the "sunset 3" seems to be the right choice.

    Hansmar :  Beautiful scenery, great sky. 

    Thank you for your comment. You are right about the texture on the road, I reworked it, looks better to me ......

    Hansmar - great atmosphere in your Desert Sunset.

    adbc - ah yes the road, I haven't noticed until I read Hansmar's comment. Definitely better now. I love the Tropical Sunrise, beautiful place.

    @ spuddy - your render are all wonderful.

    @ adbc - Summer sunset and Tropical Sunrise are so beautiful.

    @ Hansmar - Desert sunset is an awesome scene.

  • adbcadbc Posts: 3,115

    spuddy : very nice images.

    Rieke77 : thank you.

  • HoroHoro Posts: 10,641

    spuddy - good choice.

    Rieke77: thanks.

    Spuddy: I like all your three options. I think I agree with your choice. The third one would have been more interesting if the windows would reflect the sky, I think.

    My second entry: Lake sunrise. (although I did consider calling it 'reclining female')

    This one is based on a photo I saw somewhere. It contains multiple terrains, because the 'rocks' in the lake and on the opposite shore are actually terrains with mounds, in different sizes, but the same texture as the terrain at the back. The clouds are a volumetric cloud slab. I did play with the colour of the clouds to get them the way I wanted. Also, I used a weak distant light to light up the shadows, because I did not like the effect of true ambience. I excluded the cloud slab from this distant light for render time reasons and because it would change the colour too much. There are a couple of trees, of which two are instanced a couple of times.

    Hansmar - very nice and well done scene. By the way - nothing against a distant light, I also use them sometimes. An alternative would be an HDRI without a prominent light source, i.e. made from the Bryce sky. This gives often a better result than TA for outdoors. If you use an HDRI and volume clouds, don't forget to exclude the cloud slab from IB light. If you don't, the render will take an eternity and there's no visible difference whether the slab is included or excluded from IB light.

  • mermaid010mermaid010 Posts: 5,489

    Adbc - both your entries are awesome, very nicely done.

    Spuddy - all your entries are superb, good final choices.

    Hanmar - very nice clouds for your Lake sunrise, I like the 'reclining female'

  • adbcadbc Posts: 3,115

    Yellow Pen, mermaid : thank you.

    Hansmar : excellent view on the lake, great clouds !

  • Yellow PenYellow Pen Posts: 920

    Hansmar: WOW, beautiful entry... I like the reflection on the water.

    Horo - thanks for the light tipp to Hansmar... I will try it too. smiley

  • HansmarHansmar Posts: 2,929

    Horo: Thanks for the tip. I often use an HDRI from the sky. This time I preferred the distant light. And indeed it is good to exclude the volumetric slab from IB lighting, because (in another render) I experienced the extreme increase in render time.

    Mermaid010, adbc, Yellow Pen: Thank you.
