Description

Hello, this is my new experiment with light. Clouds, low fog, lightning, etc... are made with light source and particle emitter. No post work is used. Trees has been made only with parametric deformed spheres, alpha chanel and a photo realist texture apply. render time: 18 minutes I wait for your commentaries Cheers

Amazing, I would love to hear how you used a particle emitter to create the lightning. If you care to share, e-mail me at dandavis18@insightbb.com. Now I await your comment! :) I would have given this a 10 but the foreground materials look a little fabricated. The rest of it is stunning!

Hello Dandavis, a lot of thanks for your comments. I think that I have not explained it well. Clouds and fog are made with lights and particle emitter. For the lightning i used only two parallel square light, with a realistic texture on the transparent channel. One for the lightning and another one for the luminous cloud of around (to simulate the glow. You are right, I have not worked too much the terrain, I was more interested in the atmosphere and the light of the scene

Amazing. So, you have an actual picture of lightning in the transparency channel?

Bleeding well done. Stunning resault. I think with some noise on the foreground texture will do the trick. Nine and a half point from Sweden. :)))

Thanks to all for your comments. VitalBodies you are right, but after many test I preferred to make the lightning more defined in the center that in the ends, in order to obtain a more dinamic aspect. Erik, Fake, to make the lightning is easier of which it seems. I used a good photography of a lightning. Using Photoshop I made the background uniformly black. This photo was used as "transparent gel" for a square spot light, I apply it with Flat projection and no tiles. A tip: If a spot light is used the ends of the texture are blurer than the center, if you need a sharper look you can do the outer angle of the spot light greater (near 175), or to use a parallel light. You can use a additional light with a blured photo of the lightning to simulate the "glow" of the lightning. Grezelda, I loved to supply you a tutorial, but as you can see my english isnt too good. Anyway if you have some doubt I will try to solve it. Cheers
