this is a lighting and time of day edit of the finished townhome development in this image keep the architecture finishes materials brick windows doors rooftop volumes railings landscaping massing and the entire layout exactly as they are and keep the same aerial camera angle perspective height and framing do not change or move anything only change the lighting sky and time of day to twilight blue hour relight the scene to blue hour the cool twilight just after sunset when the sky has gone deep blue but the buildings are lit up there is no direct sun light the whole scene with soft cool even ambient twilight skylight so there are no hard cast shadows only very soft gentle shadowing and ambient occlusion keep it moody but clearly readable the fa ades and grounds stay softly visible in the cool blue light not crushed into darkness sky a deep blue to indigo twilight gradient darker overhead with only a faint low lingering warm glow near the horizon on the right where the sun has just set fading quickly into cool blue soft dim twilight clouds building lights on this is the focal point warm interior lights glow in many of the units windows throughout the development casting warm light out through the glass warm exterior wall sconces and entry lights are lit beside the doors and warm landscape and courtyard lighting glows along the walkways and plantings the neighboring buildings also show scattered warm lit windows set a strong beautiful contrast between the cool blue ambient twilight and the warm glowing lights with gentle warm reflections on the glass soft pools of warm light on the ground beneath the fixtures and a subtle natural bloom around the brightest lights render it as a real blue hour photograph cool overall color grade with warm light accents soft highlight roll off so the lit windows and fixtures glow without harsh clipping a gentle lens vignette faint atmospheric haze and fine photographic grain suited to a dim twilight exposure avoid oversaturation a fake hdr look flat lighting plastic cgi smoothness and underexposure
