      Looking at alternate HDRI and static rotor options.

        Shot looks great, but the scale is off with the HDRI there, Looks tiny now, like a 1:5 scale RC Heli?

          I know, waiting for someone to spot that. Laughed my head of when I did. 🀣

            Render looks great!

            Yeah HDRI scaling can be a bugger. Still looks good. πŸ‘

              Fleuch has suggested some tree's, OK, more a grass field but shows how it pays to be careful when choosing colours/textures in different light setting. The codes have almost completely vanished. The straight lines in the ground plane are the shadow catcher which I must address.

                I like the background image and the ground and the way you got them to blend together. I have not been able to get things to blend that good. Where did you get the background image? What texture/material did you use for the ground? My problem might also be my camera angle.

                I like the render. πŸ‘ Fletch always seems to come up with good suggestions. πŸ˜„

                  That image has a simple flat plane and a jpg version of the hdri, rotated to match the hdri so 0 degrees here.

                  I have used an infinite plane (Extensions - Twilight render - Objects - Infinite plane) with the next render painted with a simple colour, Alice blue in this case. Colour is then linked to the texture via the texture/finish dialogue box in Twilight. Not perfect as there is still a straight line visible in the hdri/infinite plane but meh.

                    Thanks for sharing this info. I don’t think I have that background. I have used the infinite plain before. Lately I have been enjoying using the Skatter plugin for adding/placing foliage in the model. That will not work correctly (I don’t think) with the infinite plain. Can/would you share the background image?

                      I certainly will mate, thought I already had but essentially I am an old git so forgetful at times.

                      Too big or file type not allowed. Working on a dropbox attachment, give me a minute or so.

                        That turned out nice! πŸ‘

                        I have that same HDRI and used it many times.
