      Maybe the stairs on the left side of the day light image is a little more too blue?

      PS What is this little insect moving on my screen? ๐Ÿ˜‰

        Hi FreeAgent,

        Another gem.
        What is more, the gem of all gems I'd say.

        Keep it up, man, you're producing high quality!

          Mate both shots look amazing!

          Few comments for your first night shot (well done by the way);

          1. The foreground for me looks a little low on lighting,
          2. Some stair side lighting looks appropriate,
          3. The cobbles in the night shot for some reason looks way over bumped / displaced,
          4. The interior lighting just seems a bit (and just a bit) to white or it could be just a tad too intense!

          Amazing stuff mate!

                  thanx again all, Earth mover heres your raw shot ๐Ÿ˜„ i think posting the raw is always more informative as to how much work went into the job.

                    Fantastic night image... Could you please explain your lighting set up. Does it differ much from Vray for SU? ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘

                      not at all, save the car and animation, i think this could have easily been achieved in SUvray, all i used was different colour rectangle lights and HDRI.

                        If I understand Vray correctly HDRI can be used for lighting or just as a background. I presume you used it as lighting?

                              So Sean, you just used Vray rectangle lights in Max? Did you use any Vray Sun, or just HDRI? Did you have to lower your shutter speed on the Vray camera at all? Just curious as I have a night lighting render to do soon and I'll be using Vray for Max and your settings look perfect.

                                another stunning group of images free. The models and renderings are impressive in their own right, but what you do with your images in post production is stunning. Keep up the great work.

                                  for the night shot i used a hdri made from a sky map from cgtextures (for GI and Background), and used rectangle lights in the shops, for the day shot i used vray sun and sky only, no physical camera (dont really see the point)for either image, and using LWF (gamma 2.2)

                                    I presume you are new to Max( might be wrong ). How do you find Max on scale 1-10 if you are new to it and especially Vray fot Max. Do you find it works same or ?

                                        How is this accomplished? Do you save out the same image from photoshop with multiple exposures and combine them in HDR shop or another program? In what situations do you find it better to use physical camera vs. not using it? I'm assuming you used it for the night shot? Did you have to adjust the speed settings to allow more light in as you would with a SLR camera?

                                        Sorry for all the questions....still striving to wrap my head around your results~!

                                            Sepo: Max is alright, i dont really want to be using a auto desk product but it is an industry standard, so best take the plunge, i have alot of issues with max's display, but i believe it only bugs out like this with imported meshes, otherwise its a whole other world of new things to learn, and vray is vray so yeah works the same, however getting the sun to work as well as SU is a mission at the moment and i prefer VRfSU material editor

                                            Earthmover:do u mean the HDRI or the final render? i made the HDRI in photoshop by converting the image to a 32 bit image then saving as a HDRI, i never use physical camera at all. and no worries ask away.
