Before I start making 3D renders. I saw video Megurine Luka “Corruption Garden” on youtube and did a heavy research on who is the author behind the video. I’m a bit surprised that a breathtaking video was made by a single Japanese person. Naoto Ikedan.
So I decided to study his style and get ideas from it. I idolize him so much and he is my CG hero. This is his site.
Well he sure does know how to get some things right. I mean a lot of the materials and shaders he uses look pretty solid.
I’m not going into the anime discussion here but what I do have to point out is that all his models and characters look as if they are dead inside. I mean there is no emotion in their faces. The eyes make them look like they have a shred of it, but as soon as you notice that they all have the exact same expression you’re stuck wiht it and you can’t unsee it.
It’s a bit of a shame because this man has talent.
It looks awesome though and I think you’re very much in your own right to be a fan of this man’s work.
