The building is now finished, and I’m looking at the surrounding landscape and lighting – I want to show a nice sky and light, in an autumn setting. I think the sky will be comped in after the final render, so am focussing on the right setting for the light and will spend time getting the environment right.
I’m working to a tight deadline, so probably won’t have time to model the front of the building.
I’m not completely happy with the lighting, but think I’m getting close…
Image will be in winter mode, for two reasons :
-The first, use of snow allow me to play on the contrast of the picture. Trees and building will be dark, and the white ground with snow, thus brighter.
-Secondly, to justify leafless trees therefore lighten image with transparency.
My image will mainly work on light, I will add some detail.
I hope you like my picture.
So I decided to play the cubic building against some curved and natural lines and ended up with a waterfront scenario.
The mood should be calm and quiet underlinig the simple solid shape of the building. Maybe a misty morning with some sunlight. I added some references for lighting but haven’t decided on the final lighting yet.
I did not like the way the snow was on the front tree so I decided to remodel it. I used a basic trick: selected the top faces of the tree (ignoring backfaces)/detached it/shell/noise, to create a better fitting snow.I also added more trees in the background with ForestPack.
I also modeled some snow accumulation on the windows and steps. More ppl were added and the chosen expostion is now happening inside the museum. I decided to use 3D people instead of adding the usual 2D cutout on photoshop because since light is a very important part of my concept, and I wanted the light on them to be just right.
I finished with my materials. The wood is now more dynamic and I added vrayFlakesMtl to put some shine to the snow. The image is now ready for a final render and to start post production.
Here are some shots of material testing.
