I love the composition of the building!

@mkapusta - Wow, these renders are Amazing. I love how the gentle warm hues coming from inside the church really give you an inviting vibe in the otherwise cold and slightly desolate mood. Really amazing work with the lighting here.

And all the little details are really well done - when I first saw it, I thought it was a photo integration and not full CG.

Did you use stable diffusion inpaint to improve the realism of the person walking?

@Eli_Liebenow Thank you! The building surely is unique

@Jonathan_Josenhans Thank you so much!

This time is pure render+postproduction in lightroom and photoshop. I have not used Stable DIffusion because I am happy enough with the 3d man model.

By the way, it’s a model from Kanister Studio, who have created some really great 3d people for still renders

Render looks great. But I thought I was looking at a building after botched demolition.

Thank you Radek.

Yes, it’s certainly not typical church architecture, but I wanted to try something diffrent and try to do something in different style than I usually work.

I wonder from looking at the interior images of that building in exactly which direction does that hexagon face face. And, which constellations can be seen aligning with the hexagon’s cardinal axes.
