This is my final image. Didn’t quite get there with a few aspects, as you can see… Didn’t end up adding the shadow people as I had planned, as I had a hard time getting a shadow catcher to work in the scene, and I didn’t bother doing anything with the chandelier. It’s really just a lady with a knife, fearful of some sort of approaching intruder…
In general it was a bit hard to test things out in cycles, as the scene began to grow, as I’m working on pretty limited hardware (5 year old laptop). It was taking about 30 mins to render a small region on the screen. Still, excuses aside, I had fun putting together a character model, and trying out a few new things I hadn’t tried before. Eager to get back to taking courses, and filling in some of the gaps in my learning.
