hi blenderheads

I’ve start on something like yous, sorry if its a bit copied with details and stuff, but its just practice, like learning do draw by looking at other ppl’s drawings till you form your own style.

hey andy again !!

I do have 19 inch screen and can have such resolution…hehe… :stuck_out_tongue:

and this work of yours…amazing details…and the light and shadows
is awsome…

I know how important the lightsetup for nice shadows can be…
but most people doesn’t know how easy it is and use GI setup
mostly…so I wonder how you achive this nice light/shadows ?

truly yours,
ztonzy

easy? well… it’s VERY easy to get a good lighting.
many ppl don’t mess around with the light settings in blender, i try to discribe how i did the lighting for this [and many other] scenes.
i used 3 different lightsources:

  • a simple spot light with a soft value of 10.000, color: white
  • another spot with a soft value of 1.000 [for the hard shadows], color: white
  • the 3rd spot has a soft value of 10.000 again but the color is a very light blue [to simulate the light coming from outside]

the most important thing for the shadows is the bias value of the spotlights [you can find them above the soft value in the middle of the lamp buttons] i turn it down to 0.050 mostly [0.010 when i’m not using SubSurf]

i hope that helps…
