Morning light

The rising sun shining bits of light in a home of the early raiser. The moody contrast of light when the night gives way to the coming day always brings a strange sense of feeling in me. I haven't found a good word to describe the feeling. Nostalgic is maybe the closest but not quite the feeling. It's the feeling of taking in the world and feeling like all is suspended for just a moment. I have had plenty of these moments when I wake for early morning games or practices. When I live with family it is not common to find those moments. And how that I live in Japan, it happens even less. Not for the reason of family, but for the reason that the sun raises at 4 a.m. This feeling it only caught in that time the sun starts to light that part of the world.

Everything is textured and modeled by me. I used this scene to learn how to model plants and how to prioritize models better. Still making them look good without sacrificing unnecessary time on objects you can barely see. I learned of tricks on how to improve render times and noise when working with see through objects like glass and curtains. Although I would have preferred to keep in those light distortions, my laptop continues to be my limitation. I would like to be able to see my lighting adjustment without it sounding like it might take flight any second.

There's always a chance I will go and make another render with the bypasses off. There are many little things I still want to change about it but I don't believe they will make that much of a difference.
