Night sky

Here is a night sky photo I took in Sonoita, Arizona. You are welcome to use it as a sky source. Let me know if you need a larger image.

Here is how I would visualize that scene. Keep in mind you could never have a view like that unless the moon was about 10 times closer and then the tidal forces on earth would be wreaking all kinds of havoc.

Picky, picky.

Very nice render. I like the softness. I might try this tonight.

I dunno . .. I think I have done something wrong. . .

Who you gonna call?!

What a pain. Took me an hour. I couldn't get the starscape to show after 8 tries. Couldn't get the light right. There was something wrong with the window and I had to delete it altogether.

However, it rendered in mere minutes.

You really need to view it on a dark/black screen/border background for the full effect.

As usual, click on each image for the bigger stand alone picture.

well I see your problem right off the bat. . .you've got draco where andromeda should be. . .Ursa Major in your first house, and Capricorn in your seventh house. . ..

I'd move into an apartment.

Do you want to mention which rendering engine you used so I can put the result on SketchUpRendering.com?

I did not use a rendering engine. All were Post Production modifications of your render done in PhotoShop.

AHA! You photo shop guys are amazing!

Still not workin' quite right. . .

Here's another attempt with lots of stars and a reflective floor.

Some light is coming from the ceiling, and some light from those bright stars.

I also had to remove one of the semi-transparent window things.

Whoah!! is this a room in a space ship?

Too late meteor warning system.

I think the whole idea of a loft and a telescope would inspire the imagination of the the viewer, and could cause some non-realistic "photo-realistic" images - such as the large bright moons, and the bright colorful stars.

Nice work on the renders, loving all of the different styles. Liking the Ghostbusters apartment, although through a telescope would scare the living daylights out of you.

This is the model rendered at day and night in Shaderlight, although I am thinking now of green lights and UFO's so watch this space.

now we're cookin'!

Nice work Martin.

I put these images on the SketchUpRendering site. Let me know if you decide to change them.
