Octane was used to render the base, although many other passes were utilized for lighting purposes in post.

I painted over the diffuse pass using Synthetik StudioArtist resulting in the current look.

There were a few looks I was going for, one of them being a twilight sky.

Another utilized a daylight painted HDRI by Calina [Ayumi] Sparhawk.

Calina [Ayumi] Sparhawk painted the entire HDRI for the upcoming Yardsale HDRI pack! Stay tuned!
