Hi everybody :
This is a early evening scene. garystan

I think that shadows should be more elongated, if they are coming from Sun.

Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, with the software, I couldn't extend the shadows any further. garystan -
Are you using a hdri background? If you do the sun should be turned off and the hdri should give you better shadows for the scene.

I'm using a .jpeg as the background. It's just a software limitation on the angle of shadows. Thanks for the advice. garystan -
Looking good! That's just a jpeg background? Impressive!
Honestly, you are steadily improving and this is quite good!

garystan, Really like the tone of your render. I do agree that the shadows seem a little off for a sunset/dusk scene. I don't understand your comment about shadows limited by the software? You can get very raking shadows by adjusting the time and month settings in the SU shadow window. I've attached a quickie render as an example. The time is 6:30 pm, the day is August 26th. Both set in the SU shadow window. It got me the very long raking shadows you'd see late in the day.

Thanks for your comment......even though I "hit a pot hole" now and then. And....even though I know there's more for me to learn. garystan -

Now THAT'S a shadow. Do you set the GeoLocation ? The reason I ask, is that (if I'm correct) by using GeoLocation, you set the Longitudes and Latitudes for the sun. Thanks.....................garystan
