yeah something is messed up with your GI.. and you have coplanar face problems on the right posts there.

Thanks for all comments

Would you mind explaining what you did to the image in photoshop.............would be very useful mate!

[ene.xis]

nothing fancy really!
just some levels adjustments, and the famous "s-curve"

[DaForce]

haha

Just doing my bit and bringing it to the masses

[ene.xis]

learned from the master(s)!

[jujubee]

Most excellent. There's a little nit of noise on some of the metal materials but the lighting is superb?

Two questions:
1) Did you use displacement on the grass (I think this is obvious) and which mat did you use?
2) If not LWF, did you use Reinhard? Settings?

Keep up the great work!

[stilgarna]

Very good work...

Best regards...

[giraffe]

you mean grass is blend material? or vraycomposite texture?
I didnot understand

@Helge

Det er greit!


@ene.xis

Another way you could brighten up an image like this in Photoshop is using Image-Adjustments-Shadow/Highlight. Set Amount to 0% and Tonal Width to 100% then turn up the Amount slowly and stop when you have a god result.

Using Levels tent to destroy the image because it cuts out some color areas. If you look at the Histogram you don´t want too many thin white stripes nor too many black spikes.

I going to have a new render this weekend to get rid of the splotches


@ jujubee & @giraffe
The grass is displacement and the mat:
I did use three different uvw maps and size

The Reinhard settings are
Multiplier 1.0
Burn value 0.3
Gamma 1.0

I prefer using curves to adjust brightness levels in an image. And then maybe tweak it with shadow/highlight.
