Grand Space Opera 3D Entry: Gijs Leijdekkers

#81

Here you can see some ‘splitted’ Photoshop work.

The background (with the render used on it), and the body overpaint (with the renders to be invisible).
The ‘body overpaint’ shows that I’ve posted quite much on the render!

#82

Render Vs. (almost) Final. Here you can clearly see that the mood really comes out of the posting, and not out of the render itself… (in this case…)

By the way people who’re interested in it; I created the glowing lights in the following way:

  1. Drawing little dots on the places where light is emitted through the windows etc (in a new layer, btw)
  2. Brighten it up
  3. Duplicate it and put a Gaussian Blur over it
  4. Duplicate that layer a few times, and merge them together, to get a ‘brighter’ look
  5. Duplicate thát layer ones, and put a Gaussian Blur over it (with a big radius), and set this layer to ‘overlay’ >> this results in brighter lighted areas in the image itselves.

The result of the lights looks quite nice, isn’t it?!

#83

As you can read; this is álmost final… Just a few little tweaks to do (really little tweaks… :slight_smile: )

Please tell me if you like it so far, and if you have some ‘simple’ adjustments, I could do very fast… :slight_smile:

#84

As you can see; the FINAL! I made it this time - even without stress today - ! :slight_smile:

Some close-up shots are on the way…!

#85

As you can see; closeup 1 of the final.

#86

And another closeup…

#87

And the last closeup on the final…!
