Hi All
I managed to get the grass sorted with a 2x2 area light, any bigger and
render time rocketed! The figure gave much more trouble and it will have to
stay as is: spotlights were horrible and served only to increase render time
and light up the surroundings. I've tried double illuminate, increased
ambience, reflection etc. but nothing really makes it more 3d, anyway I
suspect it would be more or less a silhouette in the real world.

Excellent image. I can see what you mean about the figure not seeming very 3D,
but I think that it's hardly noticeable.

What if you gave the mariner a very warm grey cape and very cold grey
trousers. Red always seems to be closer then blue, so maybe you could fake
a bit of depth.

Tried something very similar, does give a bit of depth but looks ridiculous!

If you want to see him from this side, you will have to put a light on
this side...ambient will only flatten things out, I don't see how
reflection could help. In this image, he looks too bright, he stands
out. It looks like somone composited a cartoon character into a photo.
Try reducing the ambient and maybe giving his coat/cape a bit of
specular, and make it darker, almost black in areas but lighter in
others, like it just finished raining a bit, but not enough to really
soak him.(the wet areas would be dark and shiny)
And besides making the cape darker, make the shirtsleeves and pants more
of a dark blue-gray. From this angle, you may not be able to easily see
the difference, but it might make the image look better.

Love the cloak, but his face has gone white like an android or something.

It's a lovely image, I think the figure works just fine, there are some
interesting compositional relations between the sky and the grass. I think the
placement of figure and bird to get a narrative effect is also done well.

Hi Chris

There is one very dim light which I don't want to strengthen
>In this image, he looks too bright, he stands out.
I agree - I'm going to try making him greyer
> Try reducing the ambient and maybe giving his coat/cape a bit of

It has zero ambient and max specular!

A normal might help here - I'll try it

They are actually lighter perhaps I should exaggerate the difference more...
Thanks for the suggestions, I've tried most of them but a few more tries
won't hurt.

Agreed about the mariner, but nonetheless it's a great landscape and like J
Charter said (typed) good narrative effect. I think the extruded clouds help the
sense of depth.
