Needs more samples but that has to wait till I got a faster PC.

Thanks ajm for the hint, that was my very first LuxCore animation and I really made that stupid noob mistake to render with automatic tonemapping

Now I have rerendered it and replaced the file with the original link intact, looks way better !

I removed the hills, didn't like the idea. What do you mean by mix with emissive background? Like composite those hill objects with background? or add emissive shader to the shader hills have? Yes, add an emissive shader with your mist color (should be close to sky color) and mix it with the hill m...

That was rendered @2048x1280 in 2h (sorry, don't remember sample count), then PS denoised and saturation enhanced.

Awesome stuff, really great renders!

About the mist problem:
Instead of image pipeline (depth channel) mist you could try to mix the hill material with emissive background color.

Have you tried with clamping around 50‘000? Or adjusting settings for metropolis? E.g. 5%, 128 or 8192, 0.5% Tonenapper Reinhard: 1.0,1.0,2.5 to 4.0? (automatic swiched off on tab for linearity) With Bidir+metro I tried all possible combinations (2%, 8192, 80% worked better) but never did the refle...

Thanks Dez!

This looks totally cool!

Somehow you managed to get some fierce aesthetics out of a flawed engine

I don't understand all your settings but will have a closer look.
