      Ta Rich, yes Twilight, checking out out other HDRI all the time. This is not the end image. I am looking at a night image with interior lights and some shadow puppets.

      What I am trying for is light area's inside without being bright and a darker exterior without being too dark. Contrast IOW.

      I know many folk will criticise me for not doing trafitional architectural renders but as I am wont of saying, I am NOT an architect. This stuff is therapy for me and it works moost of the time.

          Thanks mate, a balancing act. Computer issues now so I will be cleaning up for a while.

            Very nice ! Deserves more experimenting. Totally get your comments on โ€œarchitectural rendersโ€ Seems at times a person can get push back if they are doing work that doesnโ€™t have the Architectural Digest or House Beautiful look. Keep on your path. ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘

              Ta mate, I am adding interior lights and details so that the outside has flavours of a night setting. Folk are trying to help and I appreciate it hugely but I have a definite trend to my renders going back to a render program called Renditioner. I got a third place in a render competition back then but I am not perfect and am still learning.

              You would think I could have got it right by now. ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿ˜†

                Just a short aside.

                If I come across as ungrateful for pointers, I do not mean to but am perhaps a bit more than a little left of left field when I render 'stuff' I am still going to try to improve with no direction unexplored. Well perhaps short of surgery perhaps.

                When I talk about some of the small homes being on the too small side it is because I have spent a lot of my life in small homes and know how they affect folk, especially those on a small budget too. Nice adaptive furniture is nice and no doubt helps, if you can afford it.

                I do know that I definitely do NOT know it all.

                Stay well folks and have a great weekend. Ocker F1 GP this weekend and I cannot wait......

                  Just curious, is this a Grand Pre?

                  IMO, you take suggestion well. ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘

                    Cheers mate, the Grand pre? Maybe as they changed the circuit a LOT. Cue drivers turning left instead of right etc and Max getting lost in the infield section. Stoppages, girl guides as guides and perhaps a crossing warden should make for a fascinating race/walk around the park. ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿคฃ

                          I removed the hdri and used a backplate, dropped sky value to 10% and added rain in Affinity photo.

                          I am looking to add another light vertically through the water feature/fountain.


                          ?

                                      Thank you kindly folks, not really happy so redo.

                                      Lighter? Or darker version? I know, conflicted right Ted?

                                          Thanks mate, I tried over and over to get the fountain lit up but it would not work. C'est la vie.
