Fundamentals of Lighting — Cycles Exercises (Day, Night, Sunrise/Sunset)
As part of Fundamentals of Digital Lighting, here are my (Cycles) Day, Night, and Sunrise renders. I may go back and redo the Day render (I feel I learned a bit more after the Day renders), but any feedback is appreciated.
(most of the renders are over 5M, so I’ve had to compress them down a bit — resolution-wise)
Day (version 1):

Day (version 2 – different HDRI):

Night:

Sunrise 1 (With lamps)

Sunrise 2 (Without lamps)

@jlampel – feedback welcome
