I took this photograph of a stick coming out of a pool of water with a crystal ice star around it. I thought getting the reflection of the fairy in the background image would have been difficult but it turned out easier than I thought

Its almost a story, nice set!
It would be hard to catch a shot like that irl :)
If you have a fish eye lens you could make your own HDRIs for added immersion.
@Paintbox
Thanks for looking and the comments.
Fish eye lenses don't take HDRI's, they take distorted wide angle views that wouldn't work in the dome as they wouldn't be full 360º images so they would have a seam. You would need to take one looking forwards and one back and then try and stitch them together. Still not a HDRI as there wouldn't be enough dynamic range in the image to give good lighting. I use then as a background and then set the Environment and Tone Mapping up to match the Exif settings for the image and then turn the camera to face in the direction I was facing when the picture was taken i.e. N, S, E, W or all points between, this then matches the sun direction, and its place in the sky and I then match the shadow to the ones in the picture.
Works for me :)

I love these! Gorgeous!
Very nice work indeed
@Sven Dullah
Thank you.
I really love the back of the car being open, and the car light on. That adds so much realism to the scene! And the frisky critter is such a nice touch. Well done Sandy! :)
@Novica
Thank you. I had to duplicate the light and move it back over the rear seats as the original light only shines on the front ones.

Just a test render of a shader I was playing around with.

Courtyard Meeting

I agree, the open door and lights and the pose of the critter really bring life to this scene.
Your bear looks very determined to defend his cave from all trespassers.
The Waiting on the Train render is very well done, did you use the Now Crowd Billboards? Its looks very good.
Beautiful shader!
LOVE the two headed dog!
@IceDragonArt
Thank you, Sonja.
The train station uses both the Now Crowd Billboards and the Insta Crowd Billboards.
An underwater fight scene I have been working on. There is a Terradome3 scene with a TD3 Water around everything that is set to Volume/Chromatic. It has turned everything green in this one :) The Two Creech are a Brown/Tan colour and the Seaweed is brown so it is the Transmitted and SSS colours that are turning them Green.

I did a bit of slider tweaking on the water volume, mainly changing the colour settings, and now the other colours are what they are supposed to be :)

Beautiful:) LOL you're even worse than me (3Delight user), my renders can take a day or two on rare occasions, and my personal record is 8 days
. (Beat that) But I'd say average is around 60 min;)
@Sven Dullah
Yeah, Iray tends to take a bit of time using CPU only :) It is just as well I have other things I can do while it works away in the background. That last render went 26 hours at 0% before it started moving.
Wow, that's a long time.....Creech is one of my favorites, I love that you did an underwater scene with them
It is! Just as well I was busy doing other things :)

Just some portrait shots using Genesis 8 Hadlee. Nothing too fancy and just using Sun and Sky for lighting.
