      Like everyone else have said, it looks really good... πŸ‘
      Indeed night renders are tough..!!

      To improve these, You could change some of the outdoor spot-lights to IES-lights, which I'm sure will add some more realism to the renders... πŸ˜‰
      Please let me know if you need help/advice with this... πŸ˜‰

      Cheers

          All right Frederik... I do need some help! Do you convert mesh to IES lights or do you use the pointlight or spotlights for them! I have the material pack with the IES lights but I wasn't exactly sure how to use them! I'm sure you could lead me in the right direction... Thanks man!

            My pleasure, David... πŸ˜„

            The easiest way - perhaps - will be to follow the steps in the Converting spot to IES lights thread at the KT Forum...

            The steps may sound a little tricky, but once you've converted a couple, I'm sure you'll agree that it's not that complicated... πŸ˜‰
            (But we are looking for an improvement/easier way to do this... πŸ˜‰ )

            If you get stuck, just send me a PM and I will be happy to help you further... πŸ‘

            Cheers

              only just found the TDK image. nice one - I think I like the overall mood of this image more πŸ˜‰

              oh yes, IES lighting... tried it once with indigo. looks great. but was too lazy to investigate further.

              but I am looking forward to see your new night-render with IES

                Thanks guys... I will be doing this rendering for a board... so I will make an attempt to do these IES lights! I also have to do some interior shots so I would think that these would help a lot! Stay tuned...

                      Here is a night rendering I did for the client... I did it in Kerkythea! I was hoping to get some suggestions on how I can make it better... especially the lighting! I think it could look better...

                          Amazing Images.
                          I think is showing a live building...
                          (nothing against the empty people renders... witch are cool for other porpouses)

                          The only thing that seams a little bit strange for me is the angle in the perspective...
                          it looks like the building is suffering some wind forces.. haha
                          For me, something more close to a 2 point perspective looks more real..

                          Anyway, good stuff!

                            Thanks, it was mentioned to me earlier but I forgot to change it. This project isn't going to go away anytime soon so I am going to fix it in future renderings.
