FEEDBACK: Post here your take on the old challenges!

hi all
Here is my test
I hope that you like it

#1102

My attempt at ā€œThe Carnivalā€ lighting challenge. Used Maya and V-ray.
Bokeh achieved in After Effects using Frischluft Lenscare.

#1103

tarnishoar:

remove DOF, just pull, or reduce. Actually Iā€™d say just pull because you donā€™t need it.

Also very unsure about composition, I understand horses to left and pathway leading into shot but giant blurred DOF, no payoff really. Iā€™m a bit unsure about where the emphasis of the shot is, whether it is the merry go round or if itā€™s carnival, if it is the merry-go-round, Iā€™m unsure about composition then.

sky looks like it needs more gradation, from lightblue to darkblue, canā€™t tell.

besides that, play with color pallette more, instead of going crazy with ferris wheel colors try applying that to merry go round.

play with a few different camera angles.

@tarnishoar I actually love the scene Its like a miniature set. I donā€™t know if thats what your going for but its really cool. Id love to see a little more variation in the grass maybe some spotting. Maybe push some more small details to sell that miniature look would be awesome. Lighting is very nice.

#1105

Thanks for the feedback James and Preston

@James
I agree. There is no single subject on focus which makes the composition confused. I had tried a few other camera angles before with some close-ups on the carousel. Maybe that could work. Usually a bokeh works only when there is a subject close to the camera. I chose this camera angle so that I could show more of the environment.

@Preston
I got the same ā€œminiature lookingā€ comment from another friend. I didnā€™t intend to make it look that way. But if it looks appealing to you, thatā€™s purely by chance. I could perhaps try another camera angle with the carousel closer to the camera. The grass looks flat I agree. Will add some variation in blade length and light.

A different camera angle

Been a while since Iā€™ve participated in a lighting challenge, I miss you guys!

Had some down time at work today and decided to take a stab at the old eyeball challenge. I think this is the first one I ever did way back in like 2006?

Not crazy about the eyelashes, maybe Iā€™ll redo them if I revisit this :slight_smile:

Max, ZBrush, Vray, Hairfarm and Photoshop.

#1110

I have completed this a while ago but I thought it would be great to get some feedback on it. I added a skull model other wise the scene is pretty much the same.
