Forest Pass - Lighting Study
🕑 Added 2017-04-12 13:49:08 +0000 UTC The next RAADD animation will include some different lighting conditions to have a bit of variety and avoid that the animations look all the same. It's likely I'll be going for the cloudy variation for the next film, even considering a rainy scenery with Zoe's fur being all wet. Doing the shaders for this takes a decent bit of time though, which is why I'm not 100% sure. I'll update each environment when doing the animation either way, likely reconsidering light source positioning for each one until everything's perfect. I kind of noticed the plants were missing in the Dusk variation, which is due to me having forgotten to switch a render layer back on. The final version will certainly have plants of course! Also note that I've consciously left out a night time variant this time after noticing that a majority of my films play at night already. <:Overall the start of the second animation is coming along slowly, which is why I'm preparing other content in form of a mini animation for later this month. I'll keep you guys updated! (:

It was released last month, just scroll back a few posts! (:

Glad you do! It might get a little rainier in the final version! <:>

Note that all lighting is hand placed since I'm doing rasterized rendering, this includes diffuse lighting (by building a skydome of light sources over the scene to simulate sky light) and bounce lighting (light reflecting off illuminated objects). The process isn't automated in any way. Of course GPU power still determines shadow map resolution, as well as how many light sources can be placed at the same time, but the overall process of placing light sources at the right places is entirely artistic.

Did I miss something? Has the recent animation been released or no?

I'm so amazed what modern computers can do with lighting these days. That's some gorgeous scenery

Next up is another micro variation, yes. The one after that will be same size though! /.o.\
