Here are two tries at using low tinted sunlight and a dreary sky at about 5pm.

Re: Experiments with evening lighting
Nice images Bob. I get the feeling of dusk in terms of lighting. I would like to see a night scene with the vast majority of the light coming from the structure itself.

Re: Experiments with evening lighting
very very nice!! first one is great. i think the lights in the second one are too bright/close to neighbouring surfaces.

Re: Experiments with evening lighting
your best work so far!
I agree with Oli.
I agree with Oli.
Re: Experiments with evening lighting
Why not try some up-lights to the structure? could be quite dramatic.
I love seeing these rockets!!

Re: Experiments with evening lighting
Thank you for your input guys!
Thank you for your comment, Fletch; that really means a lot to me.
Oli: The tower and its lights are the same in both renders; only the vehicle is different.
I'm trying for realism for the actual site: however, there are pad lights on poles about 100 yards away; I could add those (but they wouldn't add "drama" )

Shadow Setting: 5 PM on April 19
Twilight
Sunlight, Sunlight Casts Shadows, Soft (Blurry) Shadows: On
Sunlight Color: rgb(244, 198, 119)
Sunlight: 98 (blurry shadows)
Maximum Sun Intensity: 1
Width/Height: 1920/1080
Preset: 07. High+
Spherical Sky
Sky Brightness: 1.000
Background Image: Twilight\Materials\HDRI_Sky_Sample\FreeHDR_1730_Sunset01_LDR.jpg
Sky Rotation: +94 deg (after several tries with the sky alone it would be neat if you could see the sky image and rotate it without having to render it each time to find the right angle)
Render Time: ~2hr each
This is part of a much larger model of the whole launch site: that's next (but I imagine the render time will be much longer).
Scott: Good idea; I'll try that after I do the whole thing at twilight
You've just GOT to love Twilight!!!

Re: Experiments with evening lighting
Thats what I mean, the new vehicle is closer to the lighting in the second render causing the hotspots. but no biggy!The tower and its lights are the same in both renders; only the vehicle is different
damn straight!!You've just GOT to love Twilight!!!
