City Panorama

Hey everyone,

So I've been trying for some time to get the "office building" style images to render, most of which have many windows. I'm having a hard time finding a good way (in iray) to get a cityscape style image that doesn't look faded, washed out, or grainy. What do you folks do for that sort of setting? Any tricks, tips, or other suggestions would be well appreciated!

 

Thanks!!

    What lighting are you using?

    In Google images search the image you want but make sure you use Search Tools/Size/Larger than to find a size large enough to have the detail you need. Make sure it's not copyrighted.

    You need to explain if you are applying it to a prop background plane, a dome, or the environment background pane. All will look differently.

  • I was trying to do it via the environment pane. Though perhaps a background plane might be a better way to try it. 

    As for lighting, I alternate between using and HDRI city image to be both the lighting and the background (less effective), and sometimes just using the "sun" and scene lights (often mesh).
