Week 3 – Act 2
I decided not to get defeated by Eevee’s harsh shadows – and lo and behold, I won this round. Sort of. Maybe.
The character model I used is “Male character head” by flioink and the target image is “The Captain” by Matt McDaid. Rendered in Eevee, using an HDR, 4 area lamps, 1 point lamp. I originally had 2 probes, but they somehow made things worse, so I deleted them.
There are couple of things that are different, most notably the dark shadow under captain’s chin, which is missing from my version. I *think* it’s there because of captain’s chiselled features. Another difference is the surface detail. The captain is very smooth, which (again, I think) makes the reflections look sharper and brighter than those on the detailed cap of the other character.
However, it can also be me not doing it right, so once again, if you have tips for me to improve it, please don’t hesitate to send them my way.
EDIT: Added new version, see the post below.
