Oh that's very nice!

Very cool concept!

Ta mate, not quite your space ships but getting there slowly.

I added a HDRI and Filmic post pro in Twilight Pro V2.

Early doors night render.

Looking good!

Like this latest view the best....looks more realistic to me.

[Mike Amos]

Ta folks.

[Mike Amos]

Picking this up again as I had a thought on more realisticsettings for the birds. I reduced the hdri to 10 percent to accentuate the artifical lights. This was a suggestion from Fletch which I appreciate.

Hmmm. Contrast looks a little to high.

I'm not familiar with Twin Motion, but does it have a separate "sun" setting? Raylectron and D5 both have separate sun settings that have to be turned off when using an HDRI. Although sometimes I will still use the sun, just set a lot lower, as fill lighting.

I wonder if that may be the source of the high contrast?

TBH, I have little clue about TM, still using Twilight render.

Still playing with the settings and for example, saved the image as HDR and EXR (In Twilight render) to see what was what. Much more depth of lighting info in these file types but frankly I am clueless as to how to manipulate the result.

It would certainly add a lot of time to the render process as both are pretty grainy.

Oops. My bad.

Sigh, this is why I'm taking a break. Between the weather and seasonal allergies, I am not firing on all cylinders.
