This is my very latest Project.
It all started with a pencil sharpener as a texturing exercise. It was fun so i modelled and textured some pencils and more and more stuff. Then I watched Interstellar in the cinema (which had some really inspiring visuals) and wanted to do some kind of space thing. This Spaceshuttle Toy is what came out. At the end the sharpener and all the other small stuff didn’t make it in to the final Render because i chose to put the spaceshuttle outside in the grass.
Hope you enjoy and please tell me if you like it or not
@the muslim:
I modelled all the plants by simply extruding some planes and shaping them with proportinal editing. Nothing special here.
The particle settings are nothing special neither. I just randomized the rotation and some weight painting to remove the grass from certain areas.
A very pleasing final image, Steffen! It has a sort of “modern vintage” look to it, similar to your Sapling Defender image. It’s hard to identify specific similarities, but as soon as I saw the image I was instantly reminded of the other work. I think it’s the combination of image sharpness, with a bit of color in the shadows. Also, the contrast range feels more like film than a digital sensor. It’s a look I find very appealing.
How do you achieve this? And what sort of adjustments to you prefer to make in the Blender compositor, vs ones you leave for GIMP?
Looks very realistic to me, I like the scratches/wear on the turbines and signs. Also the lighting is very realistic. It feels like a hot summer day.5* from me.
How i achieved the look:
1)set black and whitepoints (contrast).
2)Lift Blacks for that typical filmic look.
3)Adding reds to the shadows and remove them from the highlights. (I masked out the spaceshuttle to keep it white)
For the Sapling defender i did something similar but instead of the red channel with the blue channel.
In the Compositor i only added Glare and lens Distortion because its so easy and quick. In Gimp I add things like the look, sharpening, vignette, lens dirt, and painting out some weird water drops in this case. Basically everything else.
@BluePrintRandom:
Thanks for your Feedback!
Not to sure about the green bounce light, i used “Full Global Illumination” in the Light paths presets so there should be enough Bounce Light. So adding some extra light would be cheating Physics ;D
There is not much depth of field, you are right. I used f/10 with real world units.
@DERBENDER:
Thanks for your Feedback and for the 5*!
Beautiful. I’m having now an old Aspire 7520, and for me this is mission impossibile. But when I get a new one, then I’ll star to learn how to work with Blender for real. But now I’m only watching tutorials, sometimes reading the manual, and that’s it. My computer is too slow for modeling.
@Darijo89:
Thanks! I was in the same situation 2 years ago, my Computer was to slow too. As soon as I got a new machine I really started to push my skills and became better.
