puddles where?

Yes, you are right, no puddles yet... to get realistic reflections in them I need to create them in the render itself, not in post prod.

I will try in a future image !

Two new renders of the scene in 2560x1440 at 64000 s/px rendered in 21h each.

It doesn't rain on these images, but I have added a small puddle in front of the hotel, with photoshop, for Elvissuperstar007, and as an exercise... I also added few details, like the flowers in pots on the right, some curtains and some dirt on the road along the curbs, as the road is procedural to save memory.

More images in various styles, comics like and black&white versions on my site (click on the images to enlarge) :

hmmmm maybe add some grass? but dont just get a plane and slap a alpha on there. < unrealistic
Make a UV sphere, cut it untill you get a quarter of it, uv wrap it and add the diffuse/alphaon to it and randomize it.

Nice update. I still think that you need to do some more "dramatick" post process for the night shot..

Something like that..

@Radiant : For the grass, I am 2x over the the maximum of my System RAM. This scene requires more than 16 GB of RAM, and my computer has 8GB which is the maximum supported by my P5K motherboard, and I can't even reach the resolution I would need for printing posters.

I also think that british people cut their lawn very short !

@Andrian : Very nice effects... they eat so much details though !

what filter have you used for the glare effect ?

Hi. I used After Effect - Optical Flares by Video Copilot

It is a nice plugin. Maybe I could achieve this effect in Blender nodes compositor.

Oh! Perfect
