              I could only get shadows darker a bit in PP. Do you mean that you would like to renderit darker?

                It depends on the render engine you use.

                Give as much as precise information as possible and you will be helped πŸ˜‰

                Probably it's the color mapping.

                    At least i cannot help you with your question before as it would be just a shot in the dark as long as i don't know your render engine.

                    --

                    For your actual question- sure, there are programs and solutions for almost everything out there.
                    I'm not much using animation rendering in SU.
                    There are some free and some commercial plugins which aid you creating animations in SU and therefor render them after.
                    Just search the plugins index, you'll find a lot.

                    You can even use the native SU pages to get a nice animation if you set some scenes and turn the scene delay down to 0.

                    I don't know if it's possible to set a camera target in SU.
                    You can set a camera to follow a path and there is also a way to make a turntable animation, which could fit your need as well.

                    For creating an animated gif just search google, there are many.
                    If you have photoshop, use this.

                    You can think about creating a thread of how to create your animation, but please make sure you clearly point out what shall be the goal
                    and use the search function before- as this probably has been treated here in the forums before. πŸ˜‰
                    And try to use a clear discription title (eg. "Turntable Animation" or whatever).

                          Open the Model info window (Window menu) and the first tab is animation settings. Crank up the scene transitions settings to something higher to make it slower and set scene delay to 0 second so that it won't stop when it gets to the scene.

                              What would you like to render it in?

                              (As an aside; there's some awful Z-fighting in the parking lot. There must be coplanar faces there - they will be as awful in a render as it looks now so you should do something with it).

                                  Well, yes, you need some additional program to start playing with photorealistic rendering. There are lots of them - some work inside SU and easier to handle others are standalone studios - some are free then others cost something affordable and there are some expensive ones, too.

                                  Which "category" would you be interested in? πŸ˜„
