Beautiful moments in time
Big bad skies
Cheers Tony.




Hello guys I hope you all enjoyed Christmas.
Here is a preview render of what I’m doing atm its for university so I would be very pleased to get some real constructive criticism on this to get it looking a bit more realistic do you think the lightings right? the sky, fog, environment can anyone give me any tips to improve this more! I am have yet to render this out at movie poster size and then do some comp work on it and a some digital painting! Again any tips in Photoshop would be great to here? or any other apps!
Also I have been getting weird artefacts I have asked most people on this forum but allot can’t see this I don’t know either its certain monitors or the render its self? it’s very annoying! but I can see cell like structures they look like large pixels but there not! actually when you increase the levels in Photoshop they look like squares with bevelled edges
I would appreciate the feedback guys!
Yesterday i was playing around with the V Ray sun light! i some times i can not seem to get the light positioning right so i tried out using the sun expression that comes with Cinema 4D.
I have created a little test scene you can play with the lighting and get quick renders! but i have also left the buildings in there to see what the sun looks like with larger detailed objects.
The Sun Expression has most of the real world values latitude and longitude along with the date & time.
Above shows a little guide i have made the time is set to around 1:30 in the afternoon and the coordinates are supposed to be set to the north pole.
Latitude 90, 0 , 0 N
Longitude 0, 0 , 0 E or W
I wouldn’t say that the guide i have made reflects real world positioning but if it helps you then that good to me!
Please let me know if it helps you!

The V Ray sun parameters basically what they do!
