Description

The warmth of the sun melts the cold memory of his empty embraces. The light of her resolve slices through the shadow of his betrayal. Watching him pull up in the driveway, Marian thinks, "Did you believe I wouldn't find out? Working on Saturdays? The calls from your secretary at night? The smell of another woman on your clothes?" She plans to show him what he can no longer have, and give him a glimpse of the future that awaits him, should he ever return.

Image of the Month for November in the GunSexy group! That is a very humbling honor.

Β 

40 hour bake (mostly because of the glass of bourbon). This is a clean render.

Lighting: Reality Sun perpendicular to the window, at a 28 degree angle, and one softbox to bring out the room. Reality fog prop.

DAZ Studio 4.6 Pro --> Reality 2.5 --> Luxrender 1.

EDIT: Updated the image using normal maps in place of the old bump maps. Increased the model's resolution to 3. Rerendered via Reality 2.5 through Luxrender 1.3. March, 2015.

I faved this but apparently didn't comment at the time.

This is one of the rare 3d pieces that (for me) shatters the myth that 3d art cannot be Art. Very well done

Thank you so much!


I'm not sure. Reality used volumes which act like fog, enabling that effect. Iray doesn't use them, that I know. So far, I haven't seen the same sort of godrays in Iray. I think the only way to get them is to cheat and use an actual prop. It doesn't look the same. I used a prop here: Extraction


Now, I could be wrong, and even if I'm right, that can change in a week.

That does make it a bit odd. "Bladerunner" established that Noir can be done in color, but you have to try harder without those stark black and whites.

Thank you! Godrays are one of the big strengths of Reality-Luxrender. So far, I can't get anything close in Iray. Reality uses volumes within cubes to pull that off. Iray is slowly catching up to volumes, caustics, and particles.

Janus3003 In reply to Nathanomir [2018-10-21 01:59:07 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it seems like you really have to restrict the lighting for proper godrays to show in Iray. The coolest thing I've done with them is this:Β
