            Attached is the visopt for the last nightshot above(with the pinkish hue on the plaster)
            Obviously, as you cannot upload VISOPTS, here I have renamed it nightime 001.rb.Simply rename the.rb to .visopt and it will work.
            Also attached are the 2 images I used for the G.I. lighting and the background.Sometimes I find that the image used for background does not give the lighting i am looking for so i will use a different image for G.I.

            The only other lighting in the nighttime scenes are rectangular lights and emmisive materials allocated to the garden lamps.


            background


            G.I. skylight


            night time 001.rb

                          Finding someone who uses Artlantis brings back good memories... I used it a lot for half a decade, and it was the fastest thing on earth ๐Ÿ˜›

                                    2 more night shots,I think the second is more successful than the first.Im trying to create an atmosphere with these night shots but regarding the building i think it requires some specularity on the walls to bring out the stone more.
                                    regarding the images they have been post processed in photoshop,particularly by increasing the contrast and saturation considerably.

                                          these images are extremely well lit. and what you do with the foreground / background is awesome!
