LC #36 A light before death !

#81

HI Dodgeas3d

volumes are very cool looking. can you please share how you actually created these volumes

#82

Volumetric effect are created by volume scatter (Arnold - SItoA) effect, and its cast by lights. I tend to render whole scene in black shader + volumetric scatter, and that I add later on top of final image. Quite simple :slight_smile:

I will show later visual process if needed.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Hi there!
Any chances to have the original scene exported from Maya as FBX so it can be opened in Lightwave with textures? :slight_smile:
Thanks

Hi Everyone,

Here is my first pass at this. I think I will be reworking a few more of the materials and playing with the composition a bit more, but overall this is the direction I want to take.

Rendered using Vray and 3ds Max. Some light touchups in Photoshop.

:wavey: My final render, done in maya.

#88

As everyone render these tinny rings, I decided to go for it too :slight_smile:

#91

Hello everyone. My attempt to LC #36.
Done in Houdini/Mantra/Nuke. I see some ugly outlines and other issues, but my time is up :slight_smile:

         Thank you.


#92

A bit with a twist this time :slight_smile:
And yeah this is the last one.

Nice challenge, fun scene !

In case some monitors are too dark :slight_smile: very hard to work on dark tones…

#93

So in reverse order a bit of feedback :slight_smile:
@ Dodgeas 3d I really love the volumetrics , very wonderful athmosphere, I would have add a small fill light near the corner just to highlight bettwe the twist :wink:
@mirast wonderful rendering, can you post the light setup ? I would probably add a rim light behind the head of the lady. Also it’s difficult to understand where the light in the front of her head come from
@Dodgeas 3d I love also the small details. try to improve the caustics of the ring :wink:
@chandranathkoley Very good render you can try to add a bit more contrast in post :slight_smile:
@Eric-Harvey Keep posting :wink: I love the start :slight_smile:
@Aleyx, the scene is a very good start, now you should add a bit of atmosphere to the render. try to shift palette and choose a color scheme for the lighting. You can develop a look also in post no need to rerender
@all !! soon we will start a new challenge ! Keep posting and keep them coming :slight_smile:

:wavey:
experimental post , hope you’ll like

#95

@chandranathkoley I freaking Love it! Awesome job totally tells a story

Hi jojo1975, thanks for your feedback
I will post the light setup asap.
I agree with you about rim light and front light. Rim is a composition issue…
The problem with front is that I wanted to make it subtle. It was, and still is :), difficult for me to demonstrate by lighting that there is a window in front of her and not showing the window itself. Subtle but clear… it is a challenge inside challenge :slight_smile: I want to make front overall light more blue, more blue on a dress and bottom part of her face. It helps I hope :slight_smile: And sorry for my english.

#97

Next step :slight_smile:
