shaneis Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Hi all, this is a quick little test I did to see if I could match the lighting in the background plate. Two interpretations, I prefer the second one. Hopefully I did OK. If you spot any problems, don't hesitate to C&C!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FlaviusC Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 wow.Stop taking photos and saying u made them in 3ds or smth dude! Just kiddin' I can't spot anything wrong with the image.I like the second one also.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter M. Gruhn Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 While there are a lot of yellow-green trees in the background, the day doesn't really seem that yellow-green to me. I lean towards the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneis Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 Flavius, thanks for the encouragment! Peter, I see what you mean. I thought I might be able to make it look like an old film shot, might need some extra Photoshopping to make the foreground match. Cheers, S.

Horhe Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Im with the second - guess I like some more yellow hue pumped into an image Nice work, maybe the floor tile could use some more work in terms of modeling and making it more harsh/used/man-made. Modeling the grouts instead of texture and creating some imperfections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfienoakes Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Second one for me.. Lighting overall seems more realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic H Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 2nd one, its more blurry and matches a bit better. fix the tile lines to line up with the edge of the column as well, finer grout lines and more bump/grime imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandmanNinja Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Mate - very good! I think it's the 2nd for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandiarch Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 good job...second one looks good .. but need more work with the floor..may be add little bump...right now looking little flat. also try to reduce some noise from the scene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koper Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I'm going for the first one, the shadows carries much more contrast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneis Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Thanks very much for all the advice folks. Here's the next instalments... I took Nic and Jakub's advice - reworked the tiles and added a bit of grunge and imperfection. Credit to Fran for inspiring me to make dirty glass. In keeping with "tradition", I've added the natural and yellow versions again. Next stage I'll add some story to it - maybe a fishing rod and a jumping fish? I figure it will fill in the focal point.

Koper Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Allot of detail loss in the second one, I still like the first one much more. I think your next step now would be to get the bg to work, its very low quality, but that can all be enhanced in post. i think you need to get some depth in that bg. cooool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneis Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 Thanks for the input Koper. Agreed, lost detail (turns out I'd placed mixed-up a layered material's blending modes). As for BG enhancement, I do agree but a little unsure as to what exactly you meant by depth... DoF? Contrast? Hue? All of the above? Either way, I had a quick play with the BG, also added my jumping fish. A couple of fly rods and it's almost done. Hopefully it's starting to tell a story. Still, I've got that feeling that it's missing something. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koper Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 looking good. the grass close to the image, the water, and the trees in the back has got the same contrast, so now it looks flat. does your glass let light through? see the shadow the glass cast on the pilar. you can also maybe tint the glass a bit darker, in post??. oh, and any fisherman has got a cap, hehe:D cooool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
