using mxi dome and 2cmx2cm emitter for sun...16hrs level 14.5
original 2400x1800 to 800x450

bump map looks not strong enough, although they are set to 30... but they don't look strong enough for me, may I ask how much should I set usually?

comments welcome.

:: very nice detail but the image looks quite dark overall.... postprocess it? ::

agree...the image is a bit dark. I've had trouble with bumps too; found that if I use a specular map it looks a bit better.

Great vegatation, cars, and people. What do you use for those?

Good start!

Thanks for comments x_site and deesee,

I always find if I put a really strong sun there, it will wash out too much of the nice colour richness from the mxi images....that's why I think I tends to make all images looks too dark. I might try to make a brighter sun next ime.

vegatation = onyx tree,
car + people = Lowpolygon3D.

Nice image, I would really like to see this image lighter, it looks like some really nice plants in there but there hard to see since the render is dark.
