Title: Still life rendering Day and night
Post by: gimmyxx on April 09, 2020, 10:55:38 PM
Hi everyone!

here a day and night  render made yesterday. I tried  to be more realistic as possible and there are no post processing, directly out of keyshot.
I used a very simple "one pin" light environment from outside the windows.
I also tried (But fail) to gain a mode detailed shadows of the curtains. I would like to have that effect of "line-shadows" on the table but i can not be able to reproduce. Have you any suggestion? more sharp light?

Thank you all!

Hi ! The day version looks great ! The plant needs some work though or a better model instead. Try using a spotlight if you want strong and detailed shadows. You can tweak the hardness if you adjust the radius slider within the material.

Smaller light source = sharper shadows

So, pin lights, small physical lights, and small bright pin lights in the HDRI's will help that. In a physical Spotlight you can use the Radius setting to fine tune the shadow edge sharpness.
