what camera lens did you decide on?Might just be optical illusion then as far as height goes...
...did however make the back of the bench slightly lower than park bench standards cuz it just kept looking awkward....
Thanks speedy, I noticed that too but not quite sure the best way to deal with it. I was guessing adding a light that is only linked to the lampost and have it shining hopefully in a way that it won't wash out the bottom part of the lamp but yet light up the top more. Right now everything is just being lit up by two directional lights. One pointing in the direction of the photo's shadows and bright enough to match the photo the best I could. The other directional light is pointing almost the complete opposite but much much dimmer just to lighten up the dark areas of my objects.this is lookin really good perfecto. My only crit would be the top part of the lampost seems a bit darker than the lower part. apart from that, its looking great.
Using the default settings. I know a little about some of the camera attributes but not a whole lot. All I've done was change the near and far clip planes as well as the environment color.what camera lens did you decide on?
I need a decent texture to use for the street lamp post. Right now it's a green texture but not much realism to it right now. Once I get the texture on it right, getting it to look like it's part of the photo will be all about the lighting and how the lighting reacts with the materials, i.e. specular, shadows, etc... I think. I have no real plan though except trial and error and HOPE I GET LUCKY haha. This is all kinda new to me. I've read alot this past week on lighting but I have a feeling that applying what I've read won't be easy.Are you talking about the texture on both lights? or just the sign light?
