technically modified version of the light setup. also added a version for higher buildings. description in the wiki, be sure to read the new note before using.

what do you think? should this be the definite new setup? its still the lower-contrast version from above. To all the people rendering stuff, please try to play around with light/ambient occlusion energy values and colour. right now sun has value 0.8 and ao has value 1.5. changing sun=1 and ao=1.25 makes a more contrast version for example. also check colour balance (sun yellow, ambient blue ...)

Slightly modified version. Tiles line up better now. Please go to the wiki wiki.

If I were photographing the buildings, then the top one would be about 1/2 stop underexposed, and the second about 1 stop overexposed.

For that bright an in-sun facing, the shadows would be quite deep and dark. You will also tend to lose the contrast on the sunlit face that gives all the modelling and shape.

Best mix would be the darkness of the shadows on the D building, and a slightly brighter sun-facing side.

so u would prefer something like this? -- what do others think?

Yeah, that looks really good to me. The shadows match the brightness of the light on the front of the building. As a result, the colours are less washed out, and look richer. Great work.

you're welcome, actually its simple, you just have to change the size of the hole in the flat plane surrounding the tile
