3D of the day

My current desktop pic... Bryce and Photoshop.

Here's a couple of my almost daily renders. I usually spend about an hour on each one. The pen is a model of one that I made in real life. The wood texture needs some work, but the base mesh is pretty accurate.

Model is a wrl downloaded... repaint and details added in Photoshop.
Rendered in Bryce.

This is a Minilite wheel I modeled using C4D. The tire was pre-made, though I did make the texture for the Hoosier raised lettering.

Just an excuse for some pink clouds...

Got my old mac back from the ex... managed to fire up Bryce!

Just a quick render to get back into the groove... model is 'Road Ripper' by Joe Gill

 

[bhtwo]

Another render of Joe's super model...
I spent a few hours in photoshop removing the mesh edges... image is slightly overexposed.

The wheels are super... I may change them to full alloys so they are easier to see...

Bryce exercise... went a bit off script...

Bryce/Photoshop/Pixelmator/Celestia... model from Vanishing Point.

minor semi off-topic post, but for anyone interested, there is an animation thread here

Even though this wasn't done in a day so technically I shouldn't post it here, I finished it today so I guess that counts?
I had the brilliant idea of also rendering out the whole animation in 4K. That is something I'm not doing again any time soon!!!

Starting to learn Blender and finished one of the more well-known tutorials yesterday.

Re-lit my donut scene last night. Looks much better now, IMHO.

Yes it does! Good job.

Yes it does! Good job.

Thanks!

Really puts into perspective for me how much work must go into those big screen CGI blockbusters. I’ve spent days on this scene, and it doesn’t even move!

Try to think how photographers would approach a still life like this. From the camera angle to the actual lighting.

Once you do that your renders will improve immediately!

Look for a lot of different references and imitate the ones you like the most.

I also made a video a couple of weeks ago aboutunderstanding lighting. I’m using Cinema 4d but you can directly apply the knowledge to blender.
Hope that helps

Try to find an older book called "Matters of Light & Depth" by Ross Lowell. When I worked in film animation at Dreamworks, this was the Bible of our lighting department. Key light, Fill Light, Back (or Rim) Light.
