@Robert: The Kraken! Abandon ship! ;o))))

This is definitely a very creative way to combine 3D and a real painting. It makes it really life-like and is definitely an eye-catcher. Excellent work!!!!!!

 

@Mark: Thank you so much for the amazing tutorial! It really is a great way to do the atmospher, but I'm having a little problem. May I ask for your help again?

The background HDRI is always very washed out in the window, no matter which settings I try - and I tried a lot, really!

Do you have any recommendation for this? THANK YOU!

Sassy
