Library
-
Hi Folks,
I made some more progress on rendering this library-- and learned to make HDRI's work properly (finally).
The landscape is temporary, the plan is to model the little park that the library sits in.
Thank you to Olishea for one of his curved backgrounds
C & C welcomed-- I've got a lot to learn but making progress.

I really like this one, Patrick!
And I would really like to know something more about making HDRI work properly ( that is, if you can spare some time for that )
Cheers! -
Thanks I am really liking this one too.

My guess is that different rendering engines may handle them differently-- I knew that you could use HDRI for illumination-- they work as if you have a sphere of the image around your model and shoots the light through it giving a nice varied illumination.
What I didn't realize is the best part about them is that they can be reflected by things (like the glass in the windows and the domes on the lights. I'd been un-checking the option to allow it to be reflected (for a long time) and was only using it for illumination. You turn on the reflection and things really start to pop.
Certainly a "do'h" moment for me. Others may have more insight I am sure.

Thanks for your reply!

Looks very nice. Needs grass.
Opps, I just reread it. "Landscape is temporary". -
Beautiful, Patrick. It wouldn't by any chance be a Carnegie library, would it? Very similar to one we recently did some work on.

no problem! it adds the finishing touch! don't forget to download the updated tree line pack:
mate less foreground and more sky would look better.
you can also use the tree lines to create interesting foreground shadows...just place the tree line behind the camera and make sure the sun shines through it.

Good point, I'll see what I can do. I've got two tree between the sun and the building, trying to get the shadows to play across the front.
Olishea those tree lines are very useful, much easier than stacking trees forever!
thanks again
