Render in EEVEE.
This lighting is beautiful! The whole piece is incredible but the highlights on the bronze immediately caught my eye. You’ve got a good eye for lighting, that’s for sure. Great work!
Hey thanks for the kind words, I have been putting a lot of time into getting better lighting so this is great to read, EEVEE is pretty cool, it takes some tweaking but gives excellent results.
I featured you on BlenderNation, have a great weekend!
Thank you!
how do i take images of mesh lines like this?
Turn on wireframe in you viewport overlays
Hi!
In the modifier tab, you can select the wireframe tool, and unselect the option “replace original”
Add a second material to your mesh, an emissive preferably. In the “material offset” option change it to 1 so it can use the second material in your mesh.
Excellent work. Great modeling, texturing, and especially lighting!
Thank you!
Hi Everyone,
Here is the “Behind the Scenes” article of this antique artwork!
Do check this article written by the artist himself. It describes the process of making the artwork step by step and an insight on making realistic props in Blender.
