Reply To: Yeehaw Cowboy Lets Go make some progress through the courses
Here’s my final excercises for the Digital Lighting course using film stills.
Some of them were really challenging. I’m happy with most, not completely with one or two but I thought it is still worthwhile posting them here anyway to get some constructive thoughts. I got to a point with all of them where I knew I could keep going, but I also needed to just leave it otherwise I’ll be here forever making more adjustments. My aim for these was to capture where the shadows land and replicate the level of the lights as best as possible. I’m posting them here in order of producing them too.
I’ll make a decision later upon which to submit via the link in the course.
Cheers!
After Blue:
Battle Royale: There was a bit of tricky-ness when it came to adding the hot white of the light to the tip of the nose and middle of the brow. Tried a few things but couldn’t quite find a good solution – I’ll have another gander another time however.
Stalker:
Blade Runner: It took me far too long to realise that Roy is sticking his neck and jaw out in the still. His eyes also appear to be set deeper than the model’s too. Which explains why I couldn’t hit some shadows in the areas i was aiming for.
La Haine: I’m not completely stoked on this one. Primarily with the amount of difficulty I had with lighting his left eye. I couldn’t find an angle to illuminate it without blowing up the nose so I made a mesh object and gave it an emmission property to fake it but it wasn’t quiiite what I was hoping for. I think it made it look too washed out.
