Reply To: Summer Fun Challenge 2021 WIP – Apéritif by the lake
And this for the log of new items:
the original hrdi sun values were not creating the effect I was looking for, either the strength made the background too bright and you lost the “sunset” feel, or it became too dark and didn’t light up anything. I decided to help out this HDRI sun by adding two spotlights (one near the bridge, one near the boat with same direction/angle as the sunà with very bright settings to add this “golden hour” feel to the image:
the change is subtle , but it does add up to the atmosphere and to the bridge, without changing the texture of the bridge.
