very good philippe, please cook the portrait a bit more, very good shot
which kernel are you using?
ciao beppe

Thank you Beppe. Yes, the portrait in close up is grainy. I wanted to put it on line, but it was very late in the night. I have rendered it again, but unfortunately I have lost my initial settings, so the framing and lighting are slightly different. Also, I was not happy of the material of Elisabeth's glasses, and I have changed it.

I used Pathtracing for everything.

I erased the second car in Photoshop Elements for the foggy morning image. There are still many flaws like bad grass, and too many procedural textures on the sides of the road. I am fixing that. I am also not happy of the translucency of the trees leaves.

I have to work more on this serie, but as I have few time to spend on it, I was eager to show something !

The last image is a filtering study for a comic book style.

great renders
your vegetation is too green

I agree on too green veggy.
And I think the road is too clean.. Maybe you can add dirt.
The portrait render is awsome. I believe it. We know it is a render,
but post it somewhere else and it is a photo.
Greetings,

Thank you !

I have problems with the green. It is a common problem that I encounter often. I have already desaturated of -25% on the original image, and again -20% and -30 more on the images below. I have also added details on the road in post-pro.

Maybe this time the last image is too washed ? A bit sad ?

maybe try a different position for the sun ? and a higher camera ? looking down on cars maybe...
Trees always look better with back light.

I don't want to show form too high point of view, because some grass is 2D mapped on planes. I also encounter troubles with translucency of the leaves. I have had to use a slight alpha. The sun is currently set to 10h.
