My own kind of rendering. It`s not simple... It`s very simple ;) ;) ;) Well, to resume.
1. Region location. My hometown - it`s my choise, but earlier I used default settings (CANADA - TORONTO) - pic. 1.
2. Date. Generally I use spring or summer months, but earlier I used default settings (first of july 2008). In my opinion, date is a insignificancy thing - pic. 1.
3. Time. Usually I use 6.30 - 9.30 or 15.30 - 18.30 - pic. 1.
4. I am of opinion that north direction is not importance thing. Turn the north about in order for your picture look well - pic. 1.
5. Always I use level 5, but different sizes of pictures - pic. 2.
6. Image brightness. -0.75...0.00 if daylight enable, 1.75...2.50 if daylight disable - pic. 2.
7. If daylight enable, then "partly cloudy sky" or "overcast sky" - pic. 2.
8. Antialaising. Always 4 - pic. 2.
9. If you make trial rendering, use 1024x768 (rendering time 4... 5 minutes). If you want great picture, use "custom" 1600x1200...1920x1200...3840x2400 etc (rendering time 35... 90 minutes) - pic. 2.
Generally I make few shots (10...15) with size 1024x768 until give a good account of myself.
Speaking of rendering, usually I use advanced mode.
Thank you. I`m sorry if I`ve said nothing beyond what you already knew.
Hi Michael!
Thanks! For sharing this with us, I have look at your outstanding rending's but i wonder how much is drawing in TFP and how much is background images.
