Oh, good to know. I've started to worry.

That would've been very heavy

Love your images and architecture (except for the first image in post #1)

Composited or not -- these environments are killing me. Great.

Hi Rusteberg,

Do you mind me asking how you went about making those composites? I've tried before but can't get lighting to be so perfect like yours. Are those HDR images you're using or just background pics? or both? Is the background image an emitter? Also what purpose does the topology have? Sorry for all the questions but that's great work, and I rarely stop to look twice at someone's work!

-Kevin.

Hey thanks Kevin, a little bit of luck... That's all...

The topology mimics the "real" environment, allowing it to bounce light and catch shadows to and from the object that is being composited into the real scene. (the topology for the other ones are just a simple plane used as dummy objects with either a matte material or shadow material applied) the idea being, since you are trying to match the rendered model to the given scene, you want to try to match the given scene inside the modeled environment.

the images i took for the purpose of the composite studies, loaded in the MR console and saved as mxi's used for both background and lighting... playing with the intensity of each channel is crucial to getting good results

other than that, all you're really doing is digitally replicating the environment for your composited model, and observing the physical qualities that make up the environment itself.

a real physical scene, with a real physical renderer makes it easy to accomplish.

hope this helps!

updated. don't get to do a whole lot of exterior scenes, but enjoy them whenever they come along. latest one was rendered out @ 2000x1000. Rendering out its final final version currently @ 4000 x 2000
