Title: [solved] Mood issue
Post by: micmac on 2015-10-06, 09:53:37
Hello, I need help....

I try to simulate a mood like the attached picture.
I can't achieve this kind of mood with the physically based corona sun.
Do you have any idea how can i do this kind of mood?
Thanks for your answer,
Micmac

Well these are shot at dusk.. i.e. no sun! So you'll want to look into either HDRI or a simple gradient ramp from white up to dark blue, which would probably work fine for something like this. Then make sure your interior lights are a nice mix of warm and cool (something like 2500k to 4500k mix).

Also don't forget that those images have some post-production. Here you have a good example of that.

Hello atelieryork,
thank you for your reply.
So i put a grandient ramp in my environnement with spherical mapping? Is it the good way to achieve this kind of mood?
I trust you, i have seen your work and this kind of mood is what you like to do isn't it? Really nice pictures.
Thanks

Gradient ramp will work quite well. You can also check the No Emotion HDRI (free) and see the evening section. They have some nice HDRI that may help you.

Thank you :)

Ideally you could find a nice dusk HDRI. There are thousands around the net for free these days. Use a spherical one and map it spherically using VrayHDRILoader.

There's a good tutorial on this on Peter Guthrie's website. Can of course be adapted for Corona.
