      A late evening dip in the plunge pool, one of the low render sets I sometimes do.


      Plunge pool.

        It seems to have a lot of grain. Is it taking long to render?

        Also, just a suggestion. I would brighten up the wall lights a little more.

        Overall, a good scene.

          Ta mate, the graining is the tile bump, looking for another style. The light level will change too but not too much.

            Tile. Yeah. That gave me fits on the kitchen render. I can relate.

            On the lighting, just a little would be perfect. Too much and it would ruin the mood you are trying set.

            Like I said, good overall scene.

            It takes me hours to set up a render these days. Most of that is spent waiting for a "good enough" image to see if my settings are close to what I am trying to achieve. After several hours, I just say "close enough" and go with it because I really do not feel like spending 8+ hours setting up a render, and then waiting several MORE hours for it to complete when I'm not getting paid for it. πŸ˜„

            I have but one computer and there are other things I need it for besides rendering. πŸ˜‰ (and it's old as well)

                  I think we are all related in this family of Sketchucation. All trying to learn and get it right. Luckily we have this place to visit.

                  A full night version of the render.


                  Who turned that light OFF.

                      Hardly cryptic is it? Still trying to find a decent balance. Next.


                      New mats and light level.

                          Definitely has the "atmosphere." Love the light on the floor!

                                Ta mate, this might be the last of the night/evening renders.

                                      Pool lighting effect is great! I like the angle on the last one best too.

                                        Hi Mike I cant make out if she is looking at a window or a tv? I just thought that either way if you put someting cool from a movie as a screenshot and turned the image into a light emitter that would add so much to the image. I am pretty sure that is do-able in just about any render engine.

                                          Thanks very much folks, there is actually an opening in the wall, no window, just the hdri image.
