Description
Hi everyone. Another HDRI fake, hope you like it.
____________
This image is for a wonderful friend, Meli aka gallimel. Hope to make you smile, Melania :) I think you'll recognize the place I used to light the scene, and... sorry for the "town", but in the title "city" sounded so bad... ;-)
____________
Some info: rendered at 1100x880 with PremiumFX (softshadows and DOF) at 256rpp. The only light in the scene is provided by the fake HDRI sphere (sunlight disabled), with the help of a single greyish radial, value=1 to help the softshadows. Rendertime about 6 hours. Minor color correction in Photoshop. Ground mat is from Lemog, with a cloud texture in channel B to drive reflection and specularity.
____________
Thanx for stopping by and, as usual, any comments and/or criticism are more than welcome.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Stefano. :)

Hi Stefano! What a surprise that we all uploaded at the same time! I love your image...love the reflection in the balls. I like seeing the town in the reflection too. That's very cool! I also love seeing the couples feet in the corner. Her foot is slightly kicking up, so she must be getting a kiss from her lover! Ultra romantic!

Hi Stefano! Heee, i love this, what i can see in the unsharpen background! It depends on the "little things" which often put out the essentials! The textures and the so arranged scene are wonderful! (Vote and fav) :-)

I cannot believe Bryce is capable of this. Most impressive work. You really must write a detailed tutorial on how you do this sort of thing. Outstanding work here.
Primal
amazing work the textures and lighting are super.

Very nice. Now if we could see HDRI images without metallic spheres. ;-)

Hey thats great I like those hdri, even fake ! On criticism if you allow me, is that the spheres are too perfect : the bumps can not be seen on the circonference. Anyway, very good work !

That ground mat is very impressive, and the realistic look is exceptionally striking. Man, the things you can accomplish on a rainy day in Meli's town!

Non conoscendo le motivazioni e il retroscena che stanno alla base di questa immagine, non posso che farne una banale valutazione tecnica: Ottima e di grande effetto la resa dei materiali che a mio parere, oltre al "bagnato", hanno un che di metallico. Molto belle le varie tinte di luce e il bump, con una particolare preferenza per il riflesso cittadino sulla sfera media, a destra. Le ombre e la luce diffusa sono il tocco finale che contraddistinguono i tuoi lavori. Complimenti, e ancora un VOTO - Carlo

6 hours!? WE BETTER LOVE IT! Sakes that's a long render, it's cuz of that hdri thingy isn't it? Looks very realistic and I feel I could look up and be in Florence or Firenze. :) I think she'll love it. Even more so that you did this for her! Great Job!
woodhurst
wow--love the hdri--your really starting to master this technique!

holy crap.... 6 hrs to render? WOW I think thats a record lol. Its an awesome image tho... I like how u made the sidewalk look wet. Its got a retro new york city on a rainy day feel to it.
