Re: Video production with Sweet home 3D
Hi CEC!

And thanks again for your donation. Your models are amazingly detailed and very useful.

The shadows, yes, funny you noticed, but you are right. A bit difficult because of the green-screen,
so the shadows couldn't be so soft that they became muddy. Keying is not perfect and makes bandings
in progressions, which looks muddy. Big triple panel lights, far,far in the background, did the trick.

Yes, I rendered with moon symbol and sky-light, trying to get a softer image. The sunlight in SH3D is
far too strong, and it produces very dark shadows, that's why I chose a cloudy sky with a white top.
The dilemma was that with a cloudy sky you really don't get any shadows on a cloudy day,
so I had to fake it. Without shadows things seemed to be floating. The shadows glued the objects to
the ground.

But you already know this from our earlier discussions.

Thanks for your comment, and again thank you so much for donating your models!

Enjoy your day!
