Evening dip.

[Mike Amos]

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

[Bryan K]

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.

[Mike Amos]

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

[Bryan K]

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.

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

[Mike Amos]

I know where you are coming from mate, my pc is a good ten years old now and creaking a bit.

Are we related?

[Mike Amos]

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.

[Bryan K]

Perfect caption with the right amount of light.

[Mike Amos]

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

Love where your going with this Keep up the good work

[Bryan K]

Oh yeah, that last one.

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

[Mike Amos]

Thanks folks, learn something new most day, I reckon I does.

[L i am]

Hice wprk Mike, will you be going further with it?

[Mike Amos]

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

[tuna1957]

This last one

[Bryan K]

Oh yes. Oh most definitely yes.

You've nailed it.

[pbacot]

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.

[Mike Amos]

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