Hi Folks! Thanks for your comments! Yes I know, the scene is one of the darkest youve ever seen. I made it "extra-dark", because of the scenery (Its my NIGHT-assault theme), I just wanted to get a pretty realistic dark night, Ive thought several times of putting more light into the scene, but at the test-renders it appeared to me, that the realism of a true "dark-night" was gone. Its a VERY dark scene for my monitor, too. Dont try to adjust your monitor and making the scene brighter, just accept, that you cant see everything at dark night. Another reason to keep the picture quite dark was the explosion. In my oppinion the explosion is much more eye-catching than in a good lighted scenery. Maybe Ive seen too many of these action movies with explosions in the darkness. The models are not self-made. I got the military stuff (Tanks, Airplane and so on) from de Esponas Website, hes got some good free models for download (http://www.3dup.com/highmodels/1024/index.html). The soldiers are modified poser models that have been imported to vue. BTW: Most poser stuff I use is from the renderosity free stuff.
