Late Night Repairs

Yeah for me lighting is one of the things that I find difficult to get right. I can sit for hours sometimes, tweaking light color and positions. Or maybe I'm just being too picky about it Glad you liked it tho!

Oh and the "moonlight" is just one of the exterior lights shining in. Moonlight wouln't come from such a low angle, besides it's overcast

I agree the lighting in this image is especially strong.
It is a good demonstration of the importance of proper light source color in a rendering.

Getting the materials right took most of the time, maybe I was doing something wrong but surfaces just seemed to be rather dull and non-reflective, even with everything cranked up pretty high in the material settings. But eventually I got it to where it looked alright, other than that I just added a few extra props on the floor, and moved the camera for what I think maked a more interesting shot.

Regarding what Fletch said about the color temperature, this render is the first one where I actually used proper Kelvin values for the lights, instead of just eyeballing it in the color wheel as I used to (altho I gotta say the auto-complete feature in the Kelvin window is rather annoying... or maybe that's just something on my side?). And thanks for the kind feedback on the early renders!

That is some stunning work I'm sitting here staring at the hi-res version in awe.
