BC1-1908 Homework Submission Week 3
the complementary color test looks good, but I wanted to try something else.
Basically I followed the treasure chest course because compositiong is new for me.
– Camera Settings:DoF / F-Stop I used an Empty
– Light: HDR Heaven “courtyard / often changed the Rotation to find a good lightning
an additional point lamp for the front part because I guess this should be the focus
and another point lamp at the rear backside of the barrel to support the metallic of the rings ( before it was a little bit too dark comparing to the front)
– Colors: monochromatic based on the warm colot of my textur paint base color
for a kind of harmony, restful, calm impression
Compositing Color Balance: Lift (dark), gamma (midtones) and Grain (highlights) only some very subtle changes to
bring out the more brownish Range oft the dark and midtones and for the highlights a tiny step to blue
HSV Node- reduced the Saturation to 0.4
I think this were my settings to played with.
At the end I thougt there is something missing and add the sign with red colors.
Painted in Gimp and import to Blender with ” Images as Planes”. Very easy to do with the Material settings
After 3 weeks working on this barrel I am more familar with 2.8 and start to like it;)
Besides I have learnded some more techniques, exspecially a lot about Blender data, very useful.
