Night Walk

[fleetwood]

Watched too many of those old "water monitors and iguanas running wild on a miniature set" movies as a youth. Still watch 'em.

I used to watch those when I was young................didn't know that they were still on.

Cool! If you'd add some DOF it would really look like a miniature.

Nice light, I like it. But that isn't an object, is it?

[ADE]

just given me an idea for a new model, nice render

[fleetwood]

As suggested, tried to bring out the miniature effect, putting some tilt shift effect and added saturation/contrast on it in post. Lizard is a card object not a 3d model, unfortunately.

Just trying out more fake tilt shift done in post. Looks a bit better when sky is involved I think.

[Hannes]

I think the native TG-DOF would look better, but you can see how it would look like. The lizard is a cardboard? Well, it fits nicely into the scene.

Nice scene !

Tried some Terragen DOF, but had to alter the camera settings. The original render uses an 80 mm lens setting and it absolutely would not render out with DOF turned on. Even a tiny render at .4 detail and 4 AA 600x300 took over an hour to finish just one row of buckets and then the result was just black with no details, although the prepass shows normal details. Only the most mild (small aperature setting) DOF would render properly in five or six minutes. Not sure if the problem is the overall darkness or the 80mm lens or both.

This render used a 45mm camera setting and full sunlight instead of a spotlight.

And a cropped one.

  Daywalk is closest to the old movies from my point of view.
Although I tend to imagine stuff like that to be black and white.
