More quick nonsense

Cracked this out while waiting for some drawings, just playing with light and materials.



image wont load.

http://awful.smashtech.net/files/7c/...3d6de17b98.jpe Does this work?

[DaForce]

well .jpe wont work anyway.. maybe it was part of a jpeg?

And also the link is wrong anyway, no file exists there with that name with either jpg jpe or jpeg

[Neilg]

I get jpe's all the time, theyre not proper images but they (sometimes) work.

Know of any good free hosts that allow hotlinking? paintedover, waffle images & imageshack have all managed to shit their pants on me now.

I usually recommend imageshack.us works pretty well the few times I have used it.

[Neilg]

They either need membership or Ive heard bad things...

Imageshack it is then

Really nice man!!

How is it lit? Looks almost HDRI-ish

Aye, for me too it looks "Alomost" HDR.
I think it would benefit from a tad more contrast, overall, as now it looks a tad murky on my screen.
Splendind composition, though: could go on any magazine.

It was HDRI at first, but with rendertimes through the roof and noisy as hell results I ended up trying to copy it with vraylights.

Started off with one light in the space where the window is but then split it into quarters with slight colour variation in each for some more control. Same thing duplicated in a space over to the right, except pointing at the ceiling and more reddy/brown.

Thanks

Nice composition, but you definetly have to boost the contrast Look at your levels, there is a wide unused zone in the highlight values.

I didnt clock onto that, just looked at another of my renders before photoshop and its got almost the same thing going on. I usually do levels in post, so it may just be habit in the way I light.
