Only skin deep
🕑 Added 2021-10-27 23:08:09 +0000 UTCHi guys, I hope everyone is well.
I finally got my second animation complete and it's rendering right now. It took more time that I hoped but think I've also learned a lot in the process too.
What I will do now is finish the scene up and start tying up other loose ends so I can put out an update asap, I can't be sure how much longer it will take but I'll keep you guys informed.
Speaking of learning things, I did a few 4k renders of Veronika a few weeks back.
When setting the renders up I experimented with the tone mapping settings. Normally I use settings where I try to keep bright areas from being too bright and the dark areas too dark, and then in post I can tweak the levels myself to add more contrast and whatnot.
What I realized is that the settings I've been using, while keeping the overall scene brightness even, have also been dampening a lot of detail in the renders, particularly the specular reflections on the characters skin. Detail that once lost, I can't bring back in post.
With that in mind I've adjusted my standard settings and thinking for something that's hopefully for the better.
I guess we're getting close to that spooky time of year so that's the theme for this weeks fun renders. I always thought that that cute and innocent demeanor of Lisa's was a facade. Turns out shes a demon! A sexy succubus out to drain you of your...
Anyway... that's all I have for you for now, I hope you enjoy.
Thank you all as always and take care.

I knew it! Lisa confirmed as alien clone infiltrator! PS: can't wait to see more of Veronika.

Thanks Stiglet. I’ve only recently joined and appreciate these technical updates…however, not sure what the context is in terms of software. Are you referring to Blender? Daz3D?
