BC4-1810 Homework, Omar Domenech

[Katerina Novakova]

@dostovel Those are fantastic looking exercises, Omar, well done. 🙂 I especially like the truck – one of the best I’ve seen so far. 

I’m glad you mentioned the Sun Beams node. I’ve tried to play with it before, but I could never get it to work. Would you mind sharing your node setup?

I love the truck. The colors are great. Kinda minimalistic in a sense. Looks great. Have to agree with Silentheart. I count read the text on the truck either.

The bedrooms is great to. Love the text in the picture frame.

@shiennar Sure Kat. Right click it to view in new tab and make the image larger.

@dostovel Thank you very much! I tried to replicate it in my project, but for some reason, my alpha channel is completely white. I poked around a bit and in the end I was able to get the window mask from the Mist pass. Maybe not the best way of doing that, but I definitely learned something new. 🙂

Homework Week 2:

Lighting Match: 

I had done several before, I hope it’s ok I take one of those.

Lighting the car:

Fairly simple scene. No other lights, just HDRI lit.

World nodes:

Car material is simple enough.

And then a bit of compositing and color correcting to integrate the render in a backplate.

Raw render before compositing:

And then here’s a bit of experimenting I did with the lighting before deciding on one.

@dostovel And he does it again! Super nice car, love the wear and tear 😄 Very realistic!

Great light match too 😬

Just wondering though.. You said you only used HDRI lighting for the car, as far as I know EEVEE doesn’t cast shadows when using HDRI you have to add a lamp for that, but I clearly see a big shadow in your image.. have you rendered this with EEVEE? Or is this Cycles?

If it is EEVEE, I was wondering how you managed to get the shadows? Would love to know 😊

[Dragonice]

@dostovel Wow! Your light match is super awesome.

[silentheart00]

@dostovel Nice work.  The blue light in the sword could maybe have more of a white core like in the original, but looks good otherwise.  Good car, too.

[Omar Domenech]

Thanks.

@smurfmier1985 It’s cycles, I haven’t used EEVEE yet. In order to get that shadow, I turned on “Shadow Catcher” for the plane. I guess EEVEE doesn’t have that feature yet. 

[smurfmier1985]

@dostovel Thanks for your response! I’ll wait patiently then till EEVEE gets that function 🙂

[Kent Trammell]

@dostovel Congrats: You’ve ignited a war between my head and heart. My heart says “Vehicle renders literally don’t get any better than this!” while my head says “But he didn’t follow the rules!”

Lol well first, the vehicle is an incredible set of renders. You’ve truly outdone yourself here. That “neon” version with the light bars on the back and floor…absolutely beautiful work sir. Stunning. It’s going in my pinterest board for lighting reference 😅

Given that, A) you didn’t use Eevee and B) you didn’t do another light match. You punk! I’ll give you an A as a compromise but the real reward is your renders. They’re fantastic 👏

[Omar Domenech]

@theluthier Dude, I feel so ashamed. I remember reading the thread for Homework 2 and just saying like, ah cool, lighting the car should be fun.  I went there now and read them again and it says, using Blender 2.8 and EEVEE. Dangs its. Moreover, I thought it was ok to re-use some of the lighting match since the first homework it was ok to re-post the exercises if you had done them.

I don’t deserve the XP, I didn’t follow the rules. [puts forehad against the gun] come dude, pull the trigger, you know you have to, there’s no other way, I feel like I used Fox McClould and just shot the laser gun throughout the whole match. It’s ok, just do it, you know it’s the right thing to do. [Closes eyes]

[Kent Trammell]

@dostovel Haha I’m mostly giving you a hard time my guy. Homework is really just designed to motivate people to actually do work during the week so they apply why they’re learning. You’ve participated in the light matching several times already and OBVIOUSLY you’ve been doing major work this week. You deserve the XP.

But seriously, the renders are incomparably valuable next to the XP 😄

[Zsolt Cseh]

@dostovel Omar och you shared your nodes for the materials, that is a nice gesture so we can learn, let me investigate deeper. 

Anyway your car render is great of course, surely you also know, somehow it can be felt that the car is heavy, has weight, so being real by that

[yukino hatake]

Amazing work. That car looks fantastic. You really made the car of my dreams xd now tell me where can I order this one :p.
