In the moonlight

Ok, I know it isn't realistic, because even in Birmingham the moon isn't that big, and the stars are more like 'star trek' viewed from the alpha quadrant, but I thought it made a change from my usual garden montages!

Re: In the moonlight

david,

sometimes its just really great to see non architectural vizualisation. i also love doing it, just to express your interest, exploration, experimentation and for fun of doing it. really want to commend you on this step of going out from "usual things" have fun.

btw.. you know what i like here is your composition. how did you set the image size?

Re: In the moonlight

i think u should turn on GI. The shadow isn't so black even in the moon light. I think a very little dark enviroment skylight shwold be very interesting.

Thanks for the comments. I don't normally do 'fun', but I had just modelled an external light fitting, wanted to try it out and then got carried away by the moment! External night shots are are very unusual - especially for me - so yes it was about the fun and not having to worry about the photomontage aspect gave me the opportunity to play around.

The image size was originally set to match a photo (!), and is simply a manual override and set at 800x1200 - I then cropped the bottom to eliminate uneccessary (boring) paving, so the whole thing is an accident really!.


andeciuala - I tried it with the GI 'on' but didn't really like it - I might have another try though.

Thanks

Agree with that, but anyways this allready looks good for presentations and that kind of use.

Did you paste the background behind in PS or did you projected it on a screen in back of the house? Or do you used the image as background by sky options in v-ray?

Re: In the moonlight

The background is just PS.
Some time ago I was trying out a new camera and took some shots of the moon - this is one of them. Keep it simple!

Thanks

Re: In the moonlight

that brick bump map looks great, it comes to life with that
double sided light, nice job man.

Re: In the moonlight

Nice work David, I think you did a good job. Long time no see bro. Looks like we both are experimenting on night shots. Unfortunately, I'm not getting the right effects for it. Anyway, I'll post it later and see what others think of it.

Regards,

Mike

Re: In the moonlight

when i try to print my imges, even if they are day light images, they get pretty dark, got no idea what's going on, because on the screen looks just fine, need some help with this

Re: In the moonlight

I would like to see this same model rendered with a night HDRI scene. ;D

Re: In the moonlight

Ok - its a challenge! I'll have to swot up with stefaq's thread and give it a go, it may take some time!!
