Homework – Week 1 – Part 3 (extra):
I wanted to practice some more lightning. I downloaded the ‘Bachelor’s Quarters’ living room/bedroom scene from Blend Swap (from user ‘Rendars’. I deleted all materials in blender and gave all objects a new uniform clay material. I added a few extra materials later on (like the tv-screen, and the picture frames for example) so the render wouldn’t look so flat. I also made a simple table, because it looked so empty in the back.
I added a HDRI, an area light for the moonlight in the back, and I gave all the lamps a Emit Shader. I tried to do some Ambient Occlusion, but I cant really get the hang of that. I just don’t get completely how it works, even though I watched some tutorials about it.
Then in tried to composite the image to give it some more contrast, and again tried to do a AO pass to get the creases a little bit darker.
This was one of the more heavy scene’s I had to render until now. It took my computer round about 20 minutes at 2000 samples. Halfway the project I switched to 2.8, because it handled the scene a bit better (despite a few crashes here and there).
Here’s the result:
Let me know what you think of it. All critiques (about the lightning) are welcome. If I have time I will pointed out problems. 🙂
Here are the blend files of the final render and te composite.
