Interesting Henry! I like the lighting and comp :)
Only the blur is a little too much for me. Is this from TG2 directly ?
I used some noise reduction in Paintshop IV for noise. It would have been rendering for another day if I used enough cloud samples to get rid of the noise. I was more interested in the lighting than anything else.
Lighting a scene varies so much from project to project. I have been working on this for quite some time. It's easier when the sun is high (16 degrees above the horizon or higher). I like sunrises and sunsets. These are hard to illuminate properly.
I don't like three point lighting in T2. I use enviro lighting, camera exposure, and gamma and contrast settings.
Thanks Henry. I use the fill light setup more and more recently.
It is faster and don't have much errors in some extreme settings.
It looks a little different of course :)
i like the postwork on this one, the lighting is good.
Like it! To much blur though- from the noise reduction? I have had that happen to me, what noise reduction plug-in are you using? I can recommend one that works really nicely if you like.
It's Corel Paintshop IV. The tools changed a little from the last version I had. I have to learn them over again.
