            I especially like the last 2. Are they HDR backgrounds?

              the backgrounds are basic jpegs .the problem is that I still cant get the hang of the positioning of the background so I will normally render the image with the background as close as I can get it and then replace this rendered background in photoshop with the original jpeg.that way I get reflections and lighting as close as possible to the jpeg image.(does that make sense?)

                  great lighting indeed. I have to get my head around it at some point (could have used it just the other day, when a night-time render failed miserably 😉 )

                  and the cat is cute

                        these are really nice images...did you use HDRI for the environment lighting and backgrounds?

                              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 😛
