Working on this image, struggling to get a realistic night image, anyone got any suggestions on correct lighting and HDRI setup?
hi, sure. when we say night view its better to create evening, which allow us to make clear visibility of structure. sky is most important part for this. try below hdri.
add some wall washer spots on walls and some point light in bottom of plants. u can put some large trees behind structure for breaking direct sky visiblility. put some spot lights inside pool side wall, to lite up pool and u can see depth of water. for interior change light temp. variation. it should not be same temp. and some spot to lite up background tree for slight visibility. floor is not looking right, reflection is missing (seems same wall texture to it), reflection is very important in visualisation.
hope this will help. would like to see upgraded version.
thanks
