Week 1 – Act 2
For the bedroom scene I chose “pink sunrise” HDR (from HDR Haven) as a basis. I turned its strength way down and added three coloured area lamps with low energies. I used fairly saturated colours to imitate the sky. In Filmic settings I went for my favourite medium high contrast, and in the Render tab I enabled ambient occlusion and bloom and played with the values until I got what I thought was going to be my final.
Luckily, I asked for a second opinion and it turned out I forgot to enable the contact shadows (it is available on lamps in the Data tab). That partially solved my issue with the corner of the room – even though it still looks a bit unnatural. I had to find a compromise between colour and shadow and this seemed to be it.
