Week 14

Scene Assembly & Rendering & Test Compositing

We worked together for shot 2 lighting and shot 4 assembly/lighting.

Joseph and Kate worked on dress shoe part assemble on left side, and I combined and organizing into the final scene. Discussed lighting and colors with Kate.

After initial test rendering, I conducted post effects for all shots to have a consistency in lighting/contrast/color tone by using different render passes.

The glass in frame for clock added and has a subtle light reflection.

Surfacing & Scene Assembly Cont.

Kate and I kept working on surfacing based on your comments about color saturation/glossiness/scratch detail and scale/dust.

Below images are screen captures from Substance Painter.

Filament and glasses of bulb mesh added.

And Kate mostly assembled shot 1 and discussed detail arrangement of assets, colors, light set up.

With above rendering image, below is the one with post process

Shot 3 also got retouched.

With above rendering image, below are several options. Set focal point to heel's sole with engraving part by using depth of field focusing and lighting/contrast. Tested different value of glow amount/brightness, and lens blur of lights in background.
