Does this look too bright for a Braw, bricht moonlit nicht? I think maybe it does, but if I tome the light down I lose details. I am using the sun as the moon at low level and with a blue grey colouration.

Well, I've seen a bright night like this before under a huge full moon, so your closer to it in Scotland than down here in Hampshire (he he)......maybe a slightly more blue tint to it would help......lovely scene anyway, well done

Hey I am closer to you than you think Mark. I am in Surrey.

Like marc said, plus I'd enable shadows for the spindles/rails - it doesn't look as if they're casting shadows as it as right now.

Sometimes for a more dramatic night scene you have to sacrifice some detail for a more realistic light cast. The imagination of the viewer should fill in the rest of the details for you:) -Michael

Hmmmm, very nice scene Chohole, I think your shadows need to be much darker being as it's night time with no ambient light reflections coming from outside sources. In a glorious, cloudless moonlit night, I've seen as bright a night as this.

Nice picture. I really like the modelling and the pose. If it were me, I would get stronger shadows, reduce the glare on the step and then postwork it. I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty.

neat.. but yeah..it needs to have a bit of shadows..and reduce the glare.. esp on the walls...if that's marble steps..it shines bright.. but a dull bright. add a bit of blue. seen nites like this while staying at a palace hotel near a lake..it's magical

I've also got a moonlight lighting rig in my freestuff section that may be of some use. loos good so far!

Moonlight tends to wash out colors closer to shades of grey. Great start!

Well I played around a bit more, and also played a bit with levels etc. Still not getting very dark shadows from the balcony rails, and it is done with real geometry, not trans maps to throw shadows out, and not much ambience on the marble. @ Madmax The download doesn't give me a file that I can open on my PC, which is a shame because I like your lighting setups.

Looks a 100% better but for that 110% you might have to postwork it if you cant get the balustrades to not glare. Just a thought, have you tried lowering and/or changing the Shadows/Ambient color in the Sky & Fog menu?
