Night Render with neon
-
I am reposting this one, I did it for Al's rendering workshop which was supposed to be about cars. This ended up to be a whole composition.
The neon lighting was tough to carry out-- I got the glow right but couldn't get any glow from the neon to hit the building.
I did the neon as a triangle tube to keep the poly count down. Each segment is a glowing light.
Never did a night render before I like it but would love to hear what others think.
Thanks to all

Unless there's a lot of haze or fog, you can only see a halo around neon tubes when they're right next to a wall.

The glow doesn't travel too far. I experimented with a few locations but settled for less flash on the sign.
It did lead me to an interesting quandary of sorts. Should the render look like a photograph-- or what your eye can see. They are different things
especially at night. ?
