hi everyone,
this is a personal creation after read the first article of gleb alexandrov on light,
but it’s not like a photography!
please give me your opinion!
thanks
The ball needs more geometry, e. g. by using a Subsurf modifier.
That should get rid of the kind of facetted outline and the sawtooth pattern of the shadows:
That pattern is known as the “terminator artefact” and is caused by low-poly geometry and sharp light sources.
In general the image is a bit overdone post-production-wise in my opinion. Expecially the glow is too strong - I feel a constant urge to rub my eyes in order to clear my sight…
Not sure if I understand the connection between dice (cubical or spherical) and a chess board…?
Can you linke the article please?
I also agree that postpro is a bit too much, I don’t mind the glow tooo much, but rather the dof; kills a lot of detail.
