Re: Parking structure

Hey buddy, good to see you again! I would start by removing those cars and people and then maybe look to see if you think any of the materials are over saturated in color?

Re: Parking structure

Thanks for the input guys. Yeah I think the brick may be a little too saturated. As for the people and cars. They are RPCs and that's all I have to use at the moment. They don't work too well with MR. It's annoying!

Re: Parking structure

You should know "Less is More!", I would rather have a scene void of people and cars than one with bad people and cars ruining it. We have a thread here discussing how Entourage is an art form in itself. I will go get the link and add it to this post.

Hey, I am not trying to beat up your work, only trying to help

Re: Parking structure

Here's an update. I am pretty happy with the lighting thus far, but am still playing with the entourage. I posted all three schemes I am working on just so you could see the differences. C&C always welcome. I want to get better!

Re: Parking structure

Hey...I feel it has become quite dark now, it has lost contrast and also needs to be much brighter overall. I would remove the people or replace them, they look pretty out of place now...also it might be due to the POV, but their scale seems to be off. Don't mean to be overcritical, just trying to help

Re: Parking structure

We have some very nice backgrounds that pBarrelas supplied here: 3D Allusions - Remository
I bet having some balance offered by a few clouds would help. The shadows look very hard to me. I don't use MR, so I can't offer any advice on lighting levels except to share your quandry.

Hi Neha. Thanks for the C&C. The don't look too dark on my screen for some reason. Hmmm. As for the the contrast I have been messing with the exposure controls in terms of Highlight, midtones etc. Here's a screen shot. In terms of the people I am not happy with them yet. The problem is that I have to put some sort of realistic people in the renderings because it is a government project and that's what they want. I would much rather just do sillouettes personally.
