@theluthier @thecabbagedetective 

Thank you! Yeah those stickers give it an extra touch 🙂

Homework  – Week 1 – Part 2:

@theluthier: 

Here’s the bedroom exercise. Here I also took a previously made exercise, and then I tried to lift it up a nudge.

For both renders I used the compositor to get more contrast and to give it a vignette. Here it is:

For who wants to see the blend files (beware: there huge):

Bedroom – Daytime (hdr packed) .blend
Bedroom – Nighttime (hdr packed).blend

I’ll put the blend file of the truck in the homework – week 1 – part 1-post, since I forgot to do that.

@carrotnl you’re fast this week Wilco! Daylight, love the cloudy sky in the window 😊 the light on the pillows is a bit too bright for my taste, but otherwise nicely lit. The night version is very good!! Well lit, stars in the sky, nice mood to the light. Love it! 😄

[Wilco Wilbrink]

@smurfmier1985 I just did an update of the nighttime render a few minutes ago. Maybe you just misted it? Not sure… 

I gave it just a bit more contrast, and made the bed lamps a bit brighter.

[Wilco Wilbrink]

@smurfmier1985 Btw. I started out with previously made scenes, so I’m not really that fast. Just updated the old files a bit. 😊

@carrotnl I did see the vignette one and I love the night version as mentioned before so great job on that 😬

Ah that would speed up things quite a bit 😆

@carrotnl Very nice day scene.  I love the orange lighting and the blue shadows.  Lovely.  The night scene is nice, too.  Great reversal of the colors.  The right side of the image is getting maybe a touch dark, but that’s a small thing.

[Wilco Wilbrink]

@smurfmier1985   Thank you! It does speed thing up indeed 😉

@silentheart00   I see get what you meen with the right being a bit darker. But I don’t know yet if I’m gonna change it, as it is a bit intentional. With the right being a bit darker the eye is being directed to the left, where the accent’s are.

Also I have 4 screens in my setup. I noticed on 1 screen it was really to dark, but the rest was fine (to my taste), so that can play a role to. Maybe some other could give there opinion if it is to dark or not? But thanks for the input. Critiques are welcome, keep em coming! 😃

@carrotnl good renders and nice choice of HDRi. 👍

[Kent Trammell]

@carrotnl Kudos for updating your previous exercises! I really like the additional blue tones of the daytime shadows. The warm-vs-cool contrast in the nighttime scene is quite appealing. Nice work 👏

@theluthier  @nekronavt 

Thanks! 😃

@carrotnl It looks dark to me on my good monitor, but if that was your intention, then no prob.

Homework – Week 1 – Part 3 (extra):

@theluthier: 

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.

[silentheart00]

@carrotnl Nice work.  I like the warmer left side going towards the cooler right side.  The corner on the right side is leaking some light, but other than that, there’s not much for me to critique.  Good work.

[Kent Trammell]

Hey very cool to see an extra submission, Wilco. I too like the contrast of warm to cool light. To me this reads like a believable light setup but could use some more appeal. This isn’t specifically lighting or shading, but the camera placement is kinda awkward right now. It feels higher than eye-level but not quite to the corner of the room (as if it were a security camera placement) – in other words it’s not a natural perspective for humans to perceive a room like this.

I’d try to lower the camera to at least eye-level if not lower for dramatic effect.
