Yup.. as seen b4, with a few more details added!
New skies, better moon, bit more buildings..

And(!) ...being the new user that I am, I just realized that AA0.3 in NO way
is the limit for anti-aliasing.. hehehe.. =) So the image is also a bit
smoother.. (too smooth?)

Anywayz..

Please post ur comments / questions / sugegstions / etc...

My only suggestion so far is that I'd like
to see more contrast. Specially on the
castle. More dramatic.. more dark corners..
more spooky.. :)

Well.... I tried out one little scene..
I was thinking:
1 parallell light for main lightning
1 faint fill light to ease up the shadows just a bit

The first main light is slightly dimmed. I guess that depends on
the conditions you want if you want that or not.
The fill light has approx half the strength of the main light.
Both of them has a slight blue tint to them.
And.. if it was me.. I would postprocess it a bit too
with bringing up the contrast in *place your favourite
pixel pushing program here*. :)

In the second image I moved the lights a bit
to keep the shadows. Both of them are just quick and dirty.

Hmm.. I think there's a Draculas Castle contest going on
on CGTalk.com. Perhaps you can get som inspiration there?

Great! Thanks for the advice!
I'll give it a shot.

And I'll be sure to check CGTalk out.

I agree with Stefan.
What is the finish{ambient} setting of the castle textures? It should be 0
or very, very low. It looks like they are much higher.

Yup.. have now dimmed light a bit and used parallel light..
Sure is moore spooky this way, than it was before when the castle was
"glowing in the dark" or something.. Also lowered wall texture from 0.1 to
0.001, hehe..

Posting one before pixelpushing and one after pixelpushing.. =)

What buggs me now is the grainy looking front walls.. the texture is
repeating itself, as a result of my laziness... unfortunatly..

Hopefully I'll find the time to correct this and add the last windows.. and
then finalize this one..
