I’d done this a while back, so this was nothing new to me. Though I think when I did this before, I don’t remember if we had the Principled BSDF shader.  And with keeping in a spirit of experimenting, I did use 2.8 Alpha to do this. This version here is in Cycles.

Since I was doing this in 2.8, might as well play with Eevee too, just to see the differences 😀

First thing I notice right away is the camera DoF blur and some subtle color differences (even though nothing was changed between switching to Eevee).

[Grady Pruitt]

Took me a minute, too, to figure out how to get the contact shadows in Eevee, and in looking at it now, I see a huge difference in the light intensity, particularly the shadow spread.

@gradyp good work Grady! 😎 Wow so much difference between render engines, guess eevee needs special treatment to make it look more alike 

[Grady Pruitt]

@smurfmier1985 That’s what I’m noticing… though I feel I could use more understanding of Eevee to get them to look even closer.

[Morten Fjellheim]

@gradyp good work:)

Yeah, Eevee will take some adjustment, but it’s good to know.  On the Cycles render, there’s a really weird outlining of the tires.  Don’t know what’s up with that.

[Aaron Rudderham]

@gradyp Looking nice! Maybe come back to this next week to take the Eevee render to the next level? Could be an awesome result.

[Grady Pruitt]

Did this as a color match exercise to practice lighting. (Here’s the image(s) on Artstation I was using as the base… Dragon’s Lament by Ed Abreu Van )

Here, I used a dragon I’d sculpted a few years ago during a 30 day sculpting challenge I did for myself.

And tried another with the same lighting with my longhorn diamondback rattledillo I did last year.

[Aaron Rudderham]

@gradyp Huh, I’d said you nailed the lighting pretty well! Cute sculpts, too.

[smurfmier1985]

@gradyp nice job on the light match! 😄

[Grady Pruitt]

@thecabbagedetective Thanks 😀 The first I hear people tell me it reminds them of Spyro, though it really is coincidence. And I’d hate to meet that second one in the wild 😀 

[Grady Pruitt]

@smurfmier1985 Thanks!

[silentheart00]

@gradyp It’s a good start, but I think you could increase the saturation of the blue more.  What you have looks a little more green-blue while the reference is more towards the cyan side.

Homework, Week 1

Felt like my truck was too clean so tweaked my submission. Also, I think I may have worked out one or two of the things I had on the Eevee version with the DoF.  I’d previosly done these two assignments and passed them, though not sure where to locate those exercises. But I redid them for practice if nothing else.

(Day scene)

(Night scene)

With the night scene, I really cranked down the strength on the HDRI in the background to give just a subtle something out the window. I also put a night light (hidden by the bed, but you see the glow). I deleted one of the “default” lamps in the scene and duplicated it so that the two weren’t sharing the same settings so that I could turn one of them off.
