... just still missing some very slightly softened shadows... like at setting on the soft shadow slider of about 10 or so... 15 maybe?

Also a bit of softening the shadows.

This is actually a bit funny...
Both of the two big renders (with the TW watermark) are rendered using MLT...
And for the latest update (the render with the DarkGoldenrod color on the walls), here's a screenshot of the TW Light Editor settings, where I changed the Sunlight from 0 to 12...

Nice Frederik I like the changes you made as you mentioned, dark yellow walls, floor and the background especially adds appeal. Also the slight adjustment of the sun position and did you change the ceiling ies lights?

[Frederik]

Thanks, Ranger...
I only reduced the light bulb size of the IES lights from 40 to 20, but then I increased the light strength from 650 to 800...

I love that last one! looks great Kim! (I didn't go over it with a fine-toothed comb) I thought the shadows had indeed been softened. I found "15" in my Salt Point house image to match my precedent photo perfectly. But "12" is nice and subtle... and reminiscent of a bright sun-shiny day. (The Soft Shadow slider is intentionally subtle at the low numbers, for subtle tweaks of shadows for varying scales of scene - like tiny scenes like Leggos or something, and then ramps up to super soft shadows more quickly as you go toward 100... call it a 'sliding scale'.) But for interior arch. scenes I bet 15 will be perfect.

Hi Frederik ! Really nice what you have here..I like the scene and lightning (backgrounds add a lot of realism)

I read that you have no problem to share this scene, don't you ? Because I would like to try it !.. I can't say that I have not materials, scenes, to work on -cause I have a lot, but as usual, I start a project and later is forgotten

..but, anyway.. can you ?

[Frederik]

Hi Federico,

You can already download this scene...
If you look at previous posts, you can find that I wrote the following...

Just cleaned it up a bit (FormFont components etc...) and you - and anyone else - can download it from >>here<< and play around...
(NB! 4.61Mb)

I missed that ..

Thanks Frederik, I will try it

[rcossoli]

Thanks!
if I have time I will do some tests, I hope I can do

This may seem like a dumb question, but I am a rendering noob!
The sky and trees outside, is that one image placed in SU, or is it something added from Twilight?

Frederik will have to answer for sure, but I believe the near-ground palm trees are models and the distant tree line is a spherical background image that wraps the scene. Twilight has a variety of background and environment methods, and the spherical image is one of the most effective.
