O.k., one last one for today.

More orange light, a bit more reflection and an Icosphere with a Translucent Shader around the Sun Light:

@spikeyxxx I like where this is going 🤩

@spikeyxxx Great work, spikey!  You’re just blasting through this.  One thing: the moonlight is hitting the barrel too perfectly.  Maybe try shifting it just off center a bit, maybe catch some of that blood on the ground, too.  Break up the straight lines a touch.

[spikeyxxx]

@silentheart00 Thank you Silent!

That is a great idea.

[spikeyxxx]

@theluthier Thanks Kent!

Still have some time left and once I got the lighting to my satisfaction, I can fine tune the shaders…

Lighting is definiftely the hardest part for me;)

@spikeyxxx I was thinking that maybe the orange lamp light reaches a bit to far, almost everything is lit fairly evenly now. Maybe two or three point lights with stronger light strength but smaller radius could help create some interesting shadows? Could also help with drawing the viewers eye more to the moonlight and barrel. Just a thought.

I absolutely love @silentheart00 suggestion btw!

[spikeyxxx]

@smurfmier1985 Thank you Miranda for your suggestion!

You are absolutely right, the radii of the point lights were way too large.

Changed that and also the direction of the sun light as silent suggested.

I really appreciate all the help I get on this! ( I need it…)

Kinda like what I’ve got so far, I will go shopping now and look at it again when I get back….

@spikeyxxx I really like where this is going! The orange tones of the plank and the blue of the moonlight look very pleasing together!

[spikeyxxx]

@fide Well thank you!

Small update (took me about two hours…):

[silentheart00]

@spikeyxxx There you go!  That’s a little more visually interesting to me, and it’s hinting at a greater story with the light showing some of the blood.

[smurfmier1985]

@spikeyxxx much much better! Changing the light direction looks more interesting indeed, and as a bonus you have some cool looking shadows in the area behind the stairs now too, really like that. The reduced radius on the orange lights works a lot better too. Good job 😊

[John Fluet]

@spikeyxxx This is looking great.  The colors work well, the light just offset really draws the eye into the barrel and delivers interesting shadows.  Good tips in this thread.  Are you still working on the spill?  Great place for wet shine to counter the dry wood.

[Aaron Rudderham]

@spikeyxxx Mwah! Still a little while to go but don’t suppose you’ve thought about adding dust particles in the god rays? I think that would also an awesome amount of detail. Gotta agree with John that making the liquid just that bit more reflective will add a lot.

[spikeyxxx]

@silentheart00 Yes, I agree. Thanks again for the advice silent!

[spikeyxxx]

@smurfmier1985 It does look better now, right?

Thanks again for the help Miranda.
