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. :)

Stefano, you have must have a psychologist's knowledge and an artist's soul to design such subtle mini-masterpieces!! I predict that Gallimel will be both astonished and touched by your elegant tribute.
