          Looks great Oli, what renderer did you use? and what setting as that looks biased.

                  Are there any render tutorials on twilight? I've seen a lot of great renders done with twilight (including this one 😄 )

                    twilight for this particular one.

                    I used exterior progressive to flint template. spherical sky and sunlight enabled 😄 (although I added sky back in PP cos it was a bit distorted)

                    (previous renders were podium biased for speed)

                        In my knowledge no, but if you render alpha mask with 2-3x greater resolution and scale it down in photoshop, you will get AA + Supersampling.

                            yeah......the manual lol 😉

                            this was very easy to setup, like 5 mins to setup the render (lots more time to model) and 15 hours to render it, although I could have stopped it a lot sooner.

                            See the youtube transition here:

                            sorry about the bad quality, thats youtube for ya

                              If it's for replacing the background, have you tried this with a big plane instead?

                                    Hey Oli,

                                    Thanks for all the great images. You mentioned you use a technique called "sub-smooth". Can you fill me in on what that is exactly or point me in the direction of a forum that can help me learn. Thanks so much.

                                      its a modeling plugin for making organic forms. its $22 but its well worth it.

                                      Search this forum for subdivide and smooth and there's tons of information and tutorials. try youtube also.

                                      I made this building with it a while back, lots of possibilities:

                                          This is starting to look like a work of art! It reminds me of Max Ernst's painting La joie de vivre.
