Lighting and Texturing Class. W.I.P

Overarching Project- Working on lighting setups. Current stage- Troubleshooting

Working on my semester long project- build a scene (which all these models are 3D party sourced from turbosquid (free ones) and 3Drender Challenge... no time in this course to build your own.)

I like the way the light looks in the black and white, the way the windows silhouettes are farther apart, whereas the two in sepia has better render quality. I am having issues with God Rays, and the Transmat/Parti volume box-  graininess and odd color changes to the left wall and ceiling. (the sepia versions are missing a part of the table- forgot to unhide it in these test renders) Anyhow- the scene is a small cramped apartment of a slob (adding more items), where the occupant has left something on the burner that just begun to smolder- hence the reason for god rays (aka "light beams with participating media"). Which will add to the effect of the smoke gathering in the room. 

Eventually, I will be adding smoking effects above the stove as well as textures to reflect the charring from the smoke's carbon...

Title: Water Elemental

Course: Applied Computer Graphics (APCG 110) Introduction to Digital Art

Institution: California State University: Chico, Spring 2013

Assignment: study of light and color, using template of a candle (or other light source) sitting by a bowl, there also had to be three objects in the image, and be a complete composition. 

Note: I added the moon as a second light source to better explain the illumination of the water. Also showing the different effects of warm light (flame) vs cool light (moonlight). 100% original art.

Grade: 98%

Awards: California State University: Chico: Excellence in Computer Graphics Award: Digital Arts: Second Place
