this render is great … would be fantastic without the blur in my opinion.

9

awesome, but like for me the lens distortion is too high

10

It is good other than the lens distortion. The lens distortion makes it look like a minuature.

11

I have tried many different versions of composition, but this variant: a blur+lens distortion liked me most of all

Well, smurfs obviously are small, so going for a miniature look seems legit. Maybe search for “tilt shift miniature photography” and take a look at some images and then adjust the blur in your scene to match how a real macro-focus looks like.

The scene and everything looks nice, but the chromatic aberration does not fit at all. In this kind of scene there is no possible way, even for a bad quality lens, to produce so much color shifting in the real world. However, since this is cartoon-style I wouldn’t use any CA at all. The blur also looks a little too directional for my taste, It appears, as if your camera was just zooming in and captures motion blur. While this may be your desired effect, a calm, stable shot would suit the atmosphere better, I think. So, as mentioned above, change the blur to something more like tilt-shift.

Hey…This is a realy cute scene! Well done! I think with only some slight tweaking it would be even better. I agree with Xarbrough that your current blur is not working, unless you are trying to show a creature or something like that approuching the village. At the moment it makes your scene feel very uneasy. I also think your composition would be a lot stronger if you pan the camera a little to the left. Currently my eye is attracted by the door of the house on the right…and if I read youir scene correctly you would rather want it to go to the character reading…Anyways…It looks great none the less!

although I have seen this work and expressed his opinion about it on blender3d.org.ua, but I repeat that the author made good the work, and betrayed her very colorful and fantastic atmosphere :yes:

Those smurfs look eerie

Thanks for the comments and observations. I’ll take that into consideration in further work on the village of the Smurfs…
