Lighting Challenge #21: The Bedroom

#1

IMPORTANT EDIT: THIS IS AN OLD CHALLENGE.
Please enjoy reading through this thread as an archive, but it is closed to new posts. You can still download the old models and also post your entry in order to ask for feedback here

Challenge #21 features a set used in a short film by David Tousek. The challenge is to light and render the scene to express AT LEAST ONE of the following feelings with the scene:

[ul]
[li]glorious morning
[/li][li]teenage angst
[/li][li]afraid of the dark
[/li][li]winter mood
[/li][li]romantic sunset
[/li][/ul]It’s OK to do more than one (or even all) of these approaches. If Monet can spend a few years painting haystacks, you can spend a few weeks lighting this room to express different times and moods.

The deadline was December 31, 2009. A gallery of entries is on display here:

Even though this challenge is over, you can still download the 3D scene from this address, for your own personal use in lighting. This scene was modeled by David Vacek. Please credit him for the modeling if you post your renderings on your webpage or include a scene on your showreel.

hi,Jeremy Birn
I am new in this competition. i love to lighting this scene. but what can I change the position of the object ?..

#12

Hi there, looks really good. Count me in. This will be my first challenge. Am using blender with yafaray and choosing the glorious morning theme. Really hoping to learn something about GI from this.

Good luck everyone!

I’m gonna try this one this weekend prior to reading your book. Pretty curious about what result I can get. I’ve done some scenes before but mainly outdoors and simple buildings.

#16

Thanks a lot Mr.Birn ! The scene is really awesome & specially the themes are very interesting. But I didn’t understand properly the theme called ‘teenage angst’ !! Can you explain it for me a little bit ??

#17

Well thanks again Jeremy, and Let’s work!!. :bounce:

#18

As jeremy said

#19

Great one, I am in !

Helo! Construktive critism from Jeremy is something I don’t want to miss. I hope i’ll stay here for a while, school sometimes tends to steal my freetime somehow.
I’m going for the glorious morning. Where I think i’ll use the color scheme of Yellow/Orange-ish, Blue and red-violet. These colors almost makes a triangle on the colorwheel, it doesn’t really make a perfect triangle, i hope i’m not doing it wrong when i’m picking colors. On google where i searched for ‘glorious sunset’ i saw those colors too…
I haven’t textured yet, but I think i’ll do it later. I’m using Maya software to render, I think i can convert it to Mental ray later when I’m happy enough. I’m to freaked out for using FG or GI, so i’ll skip them, is this alright or am i just being silly? Thanks
