Hi Guys,

Here's a quick shot from a scene I was working on last week in my spare time based on a building by architect Cassion Castle. Ive always found something cool about these hidden lane way architecture gems and a 3 meter tall front door lets in all the COOL! Rendered for about 2 hours and lit mainly with HDRI with a little help from corona sun at about .1 multiplier. I don't normally put people in my scenes but this one really called for it to add interest and a bit of a story. Matching the 2D cutout to appear to be holding the bike tire was a real challenge as the perspective of the cut out is a bit different from the aspect I wanted to capture. I also took the opportunity to play around with some basic leaf meshes for gwivy which I hadn't done before. Its a far more powerful plugin that I realised and will definitely be looking at it in some more detail in coming projects.

I think you did quite a good job with merging that man - to me it seems quite natural as he is part of that scene and not cut out merged into render. However what I donĀ“t like is color(or reflection) of ivy leaves  - i miss a bit more rich color on them. But it might be just my opinion and taste :)

Thanks very much. The brick wall is just a basic dif/reflect/bump map combination + a little displacement. The corner I modified in post to give more of a jagged edge. The HDRI is one of Peter Guthries (Cloudy morning sun).
