Under the moonlight

Scene that belongs to a shot film that I am making with some friends. It is part of a cathedral that appears in that project. It is supposed to be abandoned, old, but some fixes that were made along the time can be seen. The city itself looks dark and dirty, with some inspiration coming from the Batman movies and Gotham. I really wanted to get a similar atmosphere.

Here, the most important thing was to work with the minimun geometry posible, proxies and optimizing. That was the only way to make posible to render such a big scene with my computer. As you can see, theres a whole city that must be seen with its lights. So there was a hard work working with proxies and lights optimizing it.

Lighting was also a creative field. I had to illuminate it at night, with some moon light but also givint it a dark atmosphere that I was looking for. Finally, I got to the solution with some dark green lights for the shadows to give it some flow and spot light to imitate the moon.

The dome itself was a bit challenging too. As it is a circular volume that I'm not used to work with, I had to adapt a little bit so everything could fit perfectly in the design.

I hope that you like and any comment to improve it is welcome!
