Look forward to it! I'm interested to see what the materials look like with proper reflections and better lighting. One thing to try when you move it over is a clearer lighting direction. You have bright openings in the environment for light but the lighting of the scene doesn't seem to match it. Your lighting is very…
That'll be a Ring Flash. Light originating from all around the lens gives softer and less directional shadows than a normal flash firing from one side of the lens. The ammount and intensity of the light depend on how bright the flash is, how bright it is compared to the ambient light, and how far away you are from the…
Talking about lighting this tutorial might give you a good start, especially when using marmoset. Although the tutorial is focused on lighting for characters and thus not everything will be applicable or usefull for lighting hardsurface models (from my experience) it will be a good start with some valuables do's and…
What do you mean by quality? Beast in Unity has quality controls and you can achieve the same quality as any renderer, lighting control is arguable though. Pros of rendering in unity: Calculated in engine so just a single click to see your lighting changes. No messing with aligning static lights and dynamic lights between…
Arc Productions, a Canadian based CG animation and visual effects facility located in downtown Toronto is looking for Senior Lighters to join our team. With over 250 artists and technical directors and the most up to date resources available, we bring the vision to both major Hollywood studios and independent producers to…
These are from Week 8 of the 10 week class. Most of these are all lighting changes and post-processing. First basic lighting, but without the actual light lamps. Added some light fixtures and some blacklight lights (That I'm taking out later) This is the current state of lighting. I got rid of the blue lights because it…
Nice start! I think the first 90% is great so far, but the last 10% is always the hardest. In your case, the eyes are making it look a bit too Asian, and the lighting is pretty harsh. The pursing of his lips is also an important feature to try to capture, as is the tendency for pale skin to be more pink in the extremities…
This seems to be a eurasian spoonbill (Platalea leucorodia), rather than a goose. Not trying to nit-pick, but the correct name does make finding reference easier. :) The flight feathers should be straight except where they are bent by air pressure; yours curve quite distinctly about 1/3 from the wing tips. You also seem to…
Right, yea thats the best clip i have of it unfortunately but basically it's not a texture, that light on the spheres is actually dynamically projected on and isn't a light map of any kind. which means the lighting should be able to dynamically light these objects from any angle and you would get the same "hailstone"…
Unfortunately there's not an easy fix. The ambient light in zones can help quite a bit so I wouldn't give up on that so easily, although I know it can be a pain to set up. A combination of ambient light and smaller lights placed in shadow areas can help greatly. Sunlight shadows are always black, so droppping in some faint…
