Description

This was originally my scene for the 2014 Holiday Season Carrara Challenge (#14) in the Daz Carrara forums, but I changed my mind and simply used the actual landscape scene in the poster behind the couch here. The room: Everything except the birdbath (model inside of C8 that I re-shaded the cement and water on it after deleting the bird figure), the couch, carpet, the overhead lights and the deco prop piece in the room behind the red wall were from Design 14 and 12 by Arrin. The shaders for all of them came from the basic C8 selection with modifications by me. The building, windows were made with planes and cubes, the sky/lighting were made by blending the GI promo in C8 with my sunlight settings, and each overhead light has a bulb light as well. The poster (frame, poster plane, glass plane) is a mix of planes and a vertex object. Shaders from C8 and a tweak here and there. Minor post in Photoshop. The Poster: I started with Carrara Vista in the Clouds as the base. To satisfy the challenge rules my final image is new, unpublished and rendered in Carrara. Postwork was done in Photoshop (Tweaking gamma, color filters, ect.) I used Carrara 8 pro to re-work the shaders on the rock surface, the snow surface, the tree bark and the pine needles. I worked the trees themselves by changing the trunk/branches in the modeling room, as well as the pine needles (shape, orientation, population/generation). I also re-worked the sunlight’s settings and the clouds and fog. The hot-spots for the replicator for both of the tree sets (there are two) were changed as well.
