The "Kilroy" over the door all subD's. The torch took about an hour; lathe, path sweep, and dynamic extrusion. A couple proceedural tex just for the render.

Yours if you want it! Pretty low-poly, actually.

That's a good scene; seems to be coming along nicely. I agree with Ed, it's a great torch. It reminds me of a film by Jean Cocteau,"La Belle et la Be", where the torches are held by hands coming from the walls and sway as La Belle goes by.

I could NOT stay awake through that movie. ;-)

That one wasn't bad at all. "Alphaville," on the other hand, cured me of Goddard. Boy howdy, using sky dome for a diffuse light is a real impactor on render times. I rendered the torch at 640x480 using three soft-shadowed distant lights and GI. That was under an hour. Rendered a 200x150 preview of the main scene, one bulb and skylight, and it took as long or more.

I have Alphaville. I need to watch it sometime. For now I have too many DVD's to get caught up on.

That's pretty much the lighting I was after, but I'm not sure I care for the composition here. I'd like more face visible, and I don't really like having the corridor be the keylight; I'd prefer to throw daylight through the door behind her and have her exploring into shadows away from it.

What if there was another torch on the other side of the doorway? It couldn't be seen, but it would cast light on the other side the Kilroy. Maybe you could throw in some more daylight because most of the torch on the background is lost in the shadows. Not much but enough for a rim of the torch to be seen. Great picture, still! -Hannu kulju
