Description

We all have been there. It's another world, created by us every night. You may walk, run, or fly through it, but it's always there. It's different every night, and usually forgotten. This picture is one of those dreams. Imagine seeing someone on that far island. It makes you wonder, how do they see you? Are they dreaming in your world, or do they vanish as soon as you wake up? Makes you wonder... Here it is, my first night scene in my gallary. I spent quite a while trying to get a night-time volumetric atmosphere, and finally got it right. However, after saving the atmosphere, I made a little mistake with the clouds. I suddenly realized that this looked like a dream. The title just sortof jumped out at me. I rendered this picture, made a few changes, rendered it again. Now I'm satisfied with it. I really appriciate comments/suggestions!

I tried to add light to the scene, but haven't been able to do it without it looking unrealistic... Any suggestions for how to go about lighting a night scene would be appriciated.

I agree with rod...All I can make out are the stars & a few clouds :(. Wish I could offer some advice....But I've only done 1 night scene & used the moon which for my case was enough.

I found the problem: My monitor was calibrated abnormally bright, so I could make out the scene fine. I fixed the problem, and will render a second version tonight, with the lighting fixed.

I must have a fairly bright monitor - it's a beautiful image. Love the composition.

Yeah, after two manual calibrations, I decided that it wasn't MY monitor that was the problem. Native gamma on a Mac is 1.8, Windows' native gamma is 2.2, substantially darker. I'm not sure if that's the problem, but I suspect it is. I can see the image fine.
