Dusk Till Dawn

Description

This started as some initial tests for silhouettes using IBL lighting. I liked the results so combined them into this triptych.
Due to the fact that these started as initial tests, I am aware that the sun doesn't set and rise in the same direction... so I claim artistic license on that!

I have done a tutorial on positioning IBL's for Reality / Lux here... [link]

Items used;-
(Daz3v1.2.32 to Reality1v25 to Lux0v8)

Victoria 4.2 Complete by Daz3d
Thistledown character by Sarsa/Mada
Reality Water plane - set to Pool/Sea water with ripple = 1.6, sub division = 3

IBL - Sunset2 / NightTime2 / Sunny2 from Skies of Reality Volume One by Dimension Theory
Gain for all three = 1.0, Black Body Temp on Sunny2 set to 4762

Camera focal length = 72mm

Lux Exposure Control;-
Sunset = 1/2sec f5.6 iso 400
NightTime = 1sec f2.8 iso 640
Sunrise = 1/2sec f5.6 iso640

Film Response = Advantix 200CD
Gamma 2.2

resolution = 3 x 1920 x 1200 (5960 x 1300 with borders)
samples per pixel = 3810 + 6570 + 3360
final render time = 2 days 4 hours (combined)

no post work other than combining the three renders onto the panel, sig and banner

EDIT// Corrected alignment of Horizon as pointed out by mvirtue... aligned middle image and recropped... the original image is here [link] if you want to compare!

Each one is more gorgeous than the one before. My favorite is the last one on the right. Very realistic and sexy.
