      Every time I see this thread's title, I remember this dialogue from Yellow Submarine:

      • Where are we?
      • I don't know, it looks like the foothills.
      • The foothills of what?
      • The foothills of the headlands.
        <Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds starts>

                Looks great Oli, what renderer did you use? and what setting as that looks biased.

                        Are there any render tutorials on twilight? I've seen a lot of great renders done with twilight (including this one 😄 )

                          I used exterior progressive to flint template. spherical sky and sunlight enabled 😄 (although I added sky back in PP cos it was a bit distorted)

                          (previous renders were podium biased for speed)

                              In my knowledge no, but if you render alpha mask with 2-3x greater resolution and scale it down in photoshop, you will get AA + Supersampling.

                                  yeah......the manual lol 😉

                                  this was very easy to setup, like 5 mins to setup the render (lots more time to model) and 15 hours to render it, although I could have stopped it a lot sooner.

                                  See the youtube transition here:

                                  sorry about the bad quality, thats youtube for ya

                                    If it's for replacing the background, have you tried this with a big plane instead?

                                          Hey Oli,

                                          Thanks for all the great images. You mentioned you use a technique called "sub-smooth". Can you fill me in on what that is exactly or point me in the direction of a forum that can help me learn. Thanks so much.

                                            (www.smustard.com)

                                            its a modeling plugin for making organic forms. its $22 but its well worth it.

                                            Search this forum for subdivide and smooth and there's tons of information and tutorials. try youtube also.

                                            I made this building with it a while back, lots of possibilities:
