Thanks for the course. Check out the renders in my video.
Try to animate objects too!
Like islands floating in the wind…
The same principles as for camera movement and keying.
Original
Small update
In my plan to upload my renders in more places I came back to this old project and wanted to move around a few things. I was actually just curious which version people think is better. Let me know your thoughts, original or updated? I still want to adjust it further, but lighting is definitely a struggle of mine.
The updated one in particular looks like something straight out of Courage the Cowardly Dog XD
I think the updated background makes a really big difference and suits this scene much better, although the actual lighting in the scene feels much richer in the original. One likely factor is that it’s darker overall, so the bloom comes out more. I’m certainly no stranger to lighting difficulties though - a couple of my scenes are painful to look at, haha!
I like the new one better, I think it makes a better use of the beautiful islands because the sky does not get mixed with them.
