OK, here it is, its slowley gettin there....Oh and i feel embaressed saying this, but all that trouble with reflections, well :blush: i forgot to turn it on in render options, LOL i was wondering about that for ages ! almost a week :blush: :blush: :blush:

Here we are ( with Rad on, Fprime render )

[JohnD5000]

Is their a reason why it looks so grainy?
Or is it just the compression/

[davie563]

Yeah, i stopped it 1/2 way thou, i used Fprime render

[JohnD5000]

Was just messing about with they minus light percentages! It may be a good idea to turn off shadows if you use them because you get a strange shadow of light if you don't (unless you want this effect), looks like you can get a nice lighting effect using a negative value though, I was messing about with it using my character and got a nice spooky look to him that without the inclusion of negative light looks boring!

Here is a render. Im just about to start workin on the texture map for the main cliff, ive finished the lower cliff thou, below the road.

Ill have an update soon ( Render Time - 51min with RAD on at 80% with 1 bounce)

[Fallenswordsman]

Looking very nice there, Mr.Davie. :p

[R4s1n]

I personally liked the grainy render from before....Also waiting for your lamp post and lights to be included

[davie563]

I cant get the horizon to fade of into the distance, i tried that Mclearen desert tut, but i just cant get it goin ?

Any help or even other ideas to improve the horizon, i heard some1 say fog, but how do u use it

[davie563]

Ok, here is a lighting test. I actually think this is near finished, all im workin on the now is the cliff in the background. Im making a texture map in Photoshop, so the next image should be the finished thing really.

What u guys think ? (and can some1 help me with this horizon fade. Fog, Transparency gradients, whatever....any help would be great)

:beer:

[JohnD5000]

Lookin nice man!
Now lets see your interior, I thought you'd done that before your exterior! Being very secrative about it?
You should check out the tutorial from last weeks VE, it got what your looking for it I think!

[davie563]

Cheers

i had to stop the interior because it has big windows, so i needed to get the outside finished so that i could take the exterior scene and load it into the interior scene so that i have a source of light coming throu the windows.

One i get this scene done, ill have a few pics of my interior start to develop .....:attn:

[davie563]

OK, here are 2 final renders......Which 1 is ur FAV ?

:attn:

I like the second picture the most. Because of the cold-warm contrast.

[Amiridon]

It would make a dramatic effect to have the lights on the building casting a lighting area. Also some lights out on the pier would make the shot more believable.

I love the scattered reflection of the water. The way the mountain reflects in the water.

I don't like the second pic with the blue, I like the first one.
