Here is a scene in which I used a hdr-image.
No other lights was used. Rendered in Lightwave 8.2.

Hey,
I ve seen this images a very long time back. almost 3 years back when i just entered in 3d. I was simply amazed to see this kind of work. I was also wondering if this kind of images are really possible . I’m still working on this kind of images. Achieved it few times. Ur style of lighting is very cool and the render is very very good. Did u use any 3rd party renderer?

I’m glad you liked it.[/QUOTE]

this was rendered by arrival from 3darrival…i built a scene with similar geometry becaue i was thinking that this is a photo

This was the bit of work I was most pleased on lighting wise. Also I like the fact that the image only used 2 bitmap textures. Standard Max renderer with only spots and omni lights, no GI.

I just realized there was a section for Lighting here at CGTalk!!
I think this will be one of my favorite places now to start posting!!

Here is what I have recently do.
I don’t really know if I have a favorite, would be good to see if you like one in particular.
If I had to chose, it would probably be the lock, cause it has something tiny but special in the reflection. Other than that, well, you tell me.

I had a lot of fun doing this little test on shading and lighting… and i learned a lot of course :slight_smile:

greets

ppgingras: looks nice! one thing that is standing out right now is the shadow value. try making it darker closer to the object casting, and then softer as it falls off. also towards the top its very hard to tell whats going on in that super bright white area. nice job though dude

#99

It was rendered with Vray few months ago. I like the beautiful sunshine in the morning. Enjoy.

Hey guys,

I didnt do any lighting before, in fact, bad composition and lighting are the two reasons why I think my stills are always so crappy… I’m now trying to up both skills a bit… cnc is very welcome…
