bdunaway Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 http://mushrooms.lucidsfx.com Playing around with what I've learned of vops & copy sop plus compositing. Not quite happy with the shadows in certain parts but eh, let me know what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kleer001 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 (edited) Good! That's some awesome tracking, shading, lighting, and texturing. The shadows are pretty darn good, no worries about that. What I did find distracting was the regularity of the spots on the caps. I'm a bit of a mycophile myself, and here's what I'd like to see: - varied density of dots on top, from almost none to dozens. - smaller white dots - accelerating growth, they start small and slow and then speed up their growth - bigger at the end, to nearly the size of the lamp - continual growth of new ones, even at the end there should be some small ones poking up - clustered growth, three to five fruiting bodies growing out of a small area together - when they grow start out at an oblique angle and gently curve up - lots more of the little mushies, maybe even a few curving up from under the desk Here's a good examply of what I'm talking about: Edited September 30, 2008 by kleer001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmuriel Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 (edited) Hey Brandon! ... nice work! Maybe you are not happy with shadow because they need to be darker in some areas, for example, see illumination of the real pot, it's very very dark back to windows. Just for play, you can use HDRI (gazing globe) Kleer001, nice reference. Edited September 30, 2008 by vmuriel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdunaway Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 Sorry for the late reply, been very busy lately. I appreciate the advice, especially the detailed critique kleer. I agree with a lot that you said and will probably apply much of your advice when I get a chance to work on it some more, though unfortunately this project has been put on the backburner for now.
