The “Car” scene is now finished This production was a nightmare!!
Everything in it was difficult to achieve, modeling, Lightning, compositing… The floor was really the biggest challenge and I succeeded to get as I wanted, nice and wet. I did not use DOF but instead played with the colors and contrast. Color balance was also a challenge on this one.
I had taken lots of pictures during my last vist in Paris and used them as ref for the color balance.
After watching you progress through all the stages, it is nice to step back and appreciate the final image it has become Congratulations on getting the look worked out and all the scene details in, even after all those changes!
Absolutely amazing job Pascal! Pixar should be calling shortly! Its great to see this evolve, and your dedication to give it that one last tweak, even if it meant another full day of work and a re-render.
I love the modeling and texturing you’ve done on the car and the background, but with the focus being the car in the foreground I find the background without depth of field to be distracting because it’s so crisp and clear, just food for thought but again great modeling and texturing!!
