Hey guys and girls
I wanted to show off my work, so i came to you.
This is my first ever scene. I did do some modelling before, but nothing that involved the actual rendering and lighting.
When i started working on this it was a homage to my girlfriend, who died two months ago from a hearth attack. it had pictures of her and messages to her in it.
I didn’t want to publish such personal photos, so for you i replaced the photo’s with vacation pictures.
I’m sorry to hear about your gf.
But the scene is quite nice for a beginner. Just something I would add is some glossyness to the material of the images because they look a bit flat at the moment.
thank you for this response
I agree that the images look flat, though that’s partially solved in the back by the depth of field.
It was my first intention to make the pictures a little more glossy (and slightly reflective),
but it didn’t make a real difference. I am now trying out some different light setups, cause i also want small shadow at the foot of each box. They’re kinda floating, especially the front one. I’ll try to incorporate the new gloss
Thank you for the feedback, and know that i will keep blendin’
though it was my original intention to map the carvings, after some experimenting i found that it just didn’t create the exact same quality. In this one i didn’t want to sacrifice quality for processing speed, so i took the scene i used to render a bumpmap, and continued working on it to create the complete scene. so the carvings are actual geometry. made the computer run slow while editing the scene, but i think it was worth it in the end.
