Description

or, Rendering My Birthday Gifts, part II :) __________________________ Hello everyone. This image is dedicated to my sweet and lovely Vali who sent me this beautiful package, DarkSun, as a birthday gift: a wonderful, versatile texture for Vicky2. My thanx also to her sister Lory who made the top, the shorts and the bracelets you see in this image (they're in the package too). All that we see or seem, Valentina! I know that you love this kind of interiors, so here it is, sweetie! __________________________ Once again I got inspired by "The Raven and Other Poems" by E.A.Poe and, in second hand, by the beautiful musical tribute that Lou Reed just paid him in his last album. Some info/detail: Rendered at 1100x880 with normal AA. It was a long time since I wanted to render another Brycean volumetric, and soon I remembered why I had promised myself to not do that anymore: two volumetric spotlights and one filling radial are the only lights in the scene and the image took 40 hours to render, *sigh*. Sunlight disabled, Mayang phototextures on the walls, "tentacles" composed using Rochr's method. Vicky2 uses DarkSun package by Vali & Lory. Postwork in Photoshop (lettering and some correction on V2 mesh) and Universe (eyes and some highlights). __________________________ Hope you like it. As always, comment and/or criticism are more than welcome. May Your Renders Be Short, Stefano :)

Mmmh... appena postato, vedo, e anche un "back in black"; mi ricorda molto un paio di precedenti lavori dei tuoi come "Waiting for K" e "Identify Yourself". Inoltre amo molto Poe (come anche il "discepolo" Lovecraft), e di conseguenza un certo tipo di atmosfera. Devo dire che la cosa che mi sorprende davvero, qui, sono le ombre e quei bellissimi "spicchi" di luce. Solo quelli meritano un Voto ;o) - Buona giornata, Carlo

Love the volumetric lighting!! You get such nice things for your birthday too. All I got for mine was a lousy card with the inscription "hope you can make it to your next one!" Excellent work.

I see everyone is commenting on the lighting, but that really caught my eye also. The way you light your scenes is what makes them so realistic and attention grabbing.
