Why I Think this Image Fails, and How I Would Fix it. The movie loses a bit of its edge once you see the Alien. "HUG ME!!!" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55e150c0e4b0cd58cff80dc2/1511742227592-NBG0PVP6S5GST0R8G207/comp3.jpg Blog - Why I Think this Image Fails, and How I Would Fix it. A. (red) : The flesh and stairs on the right are the main focus. This is because its the area of highest contrast. Not a bad thing on its own, but the image doesn't really offer the viewers eye to lead anywhere meaningful after seeing this. B. (Green): Well except one place, the far left wall and ground...where nothing is. Because of the way I set up that light on the stairs, it ended up blasting light on the far wall. This was something I was constantly struggling with the whole time as I felt it was NOT important to the image, but demanded attention. C. (Yellow): In an attempt to add some more contrast to the image, and lead the eye back into the image, I added more detail (another stair way) and a slight rim light on the subway train. Again , the issue being, there really was nothing to look at back there. D. (Purple) : A bit of a wasted element was the natural swoops I got from the ceiling. If I had spent more time figuring out this composition, these could have played a key role in leading the viewers eye. As it stands, they are kinda just there, maybe pointing at the already contrasted stairs and flesh. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55e150c0e4b0cd58cff80dc2/1511652969868-1WI830JUDZQA2LIXMTW1/final_01.jpg Blog - Why I Think this Image Fails, and How I Would Fix it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55e150c0e4b0cd58cff80dc2/1511759526549-I0GVNTLWNUCERK7VIE1Q/beauty.jpg Blog - Why I Think this Image Fails, and How I Would Fix it. This is a beauty lighting render straight out of V-Ray: Because the base lighting wasn't fully fleshed out, I again relied heavily on compositing the lighting layers in Photoshop. This resulted in most of the subtlety in the lighting being lost. (Though, notice the image above is much less muddy. This is because the materials and lights were doing the heavy lifting before it got "overly Photoshoped".) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55e150c0e4b0cd58cff80dc2/1511660512418-UCG0WO60J0GRXNFDH3MS/image-asset.png Blog - Why I Think this Image Fails, and How I Would Fix it. 1979's Alien is the classic example of "it's scarier if the audience can't see it" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55e150c0e4b0cd58cff80dc2/1511759468823-3JTFM79OJKGNKTJIGW6Y/comp2.jpg Blog - Why I Think this Image Fails, and How I Would Fix it. Examples of just some of the early block-out compositions I did for a previous (arguably more successful) image. You can even see me talking about my process on my Gnomon Workshop (shameless plug) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55e150c0e4b0cd58cff80dc2/1511662148469-8G71HY5H5LQ8HGEMVO28/flesh_look_dev_02.jpg Blog - Why I Think this Image Fails, and How I Would Fix it. Dat Flesh: Look-deving the flesh was way too fun. I used a few layered subsurface materials with custom masks to get this look. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55e150c0e4b0cd58cff80dc2/1511759491484-4HXDZ8DF6AL6ISGYYJIC/horror_light.jpg Blog - Why I Think this Image Fails, and How I Would Fix it. For example: I decided to blast the ONE 'horror' element (the flesh) with light. This instantly removed any sense of suspense or mystery (Thanks to Geoffrey Ernault for this feedback early on. Unfortunately, I didn't take the time to adjust it then.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55e150c0e4b0cd58cff80dc2/1511759607071-4UITAU1LZL72VI32MVFI/water.jpg Blog - Why I Think this Image Fails, and How I Would Fix it. Water: I could probably do a whole tutorial on just this, because I had to come up with a relatively fast way to make detailed water. I simulated some decent water meshes with NParticles, then placed them around in Maya, then used ZBrush to combine it into one large mesh. After that I painted/projected a texture for the foam. Then, using that texture, I used VRayScatter to populate millions of spheres to create the dirty foam. I think the process was solid, but (surprise!) I didn't have enough time to fully execute on it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55e150c0e4b0cd58cff80dc2/1511662629182-L9RTF34DYUHMJDDFL00J/ghostbusters2.jpg Blog - Why I Think this Image Fails, and How I Would Fix it. W.T.F. pink slime... in the EXACT subway I had just created.... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55e150c0e4b0cd58cff80dc2/1511759507444-C2TGHI0G6FURCJ8R1YMR/diffuse.jpg Blog - Why I Think this Image Fails, and How I Would Fix it. Notice the amount of texturing in the 1st image vs. the 2nd. The 2nd image has much more texturing done in 3D as well as more work on the materials. Because of the deadline, I didn't have the time to texture everything in 3D and I had to rely heavily on a 2.5D approach using Photoshop. Many of the textures were overlayed and multiplied on the final render, which resulted in a lack of subtlety in the textures and materials. I believe this added to an overall muddy feel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55e150c0e4b0cd58cff80dc2/1511759548304-LT8V8PXB8CBWZ4KBA229/ghostbusters3.jpg Blog - Why I Think this Image Fails, and How I Would Fix it. The only thing I had time to do was to throw a quick 'easter egg' to Ghostbusters, in the hope that I at least wouldn't get called out for outright ripping the idea off. Sad. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55e150c0e4b0cd58cff80dc2/1511759575066-LSGA4PVN9UNXXXV0IB9L/tile_01.jpg Blog - Why I Think this Image Fails, and How I Would Fix it. Tiles: ALL the tiles are geometry. Thouasnds of tiles. I experimented with using ZBrush (MatchMaker brush) and deformers in Maya to get the relatively complex curves and shapes to work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55e150c0e4b0cd58cff80dc2/1511759590340-RZX4VJGXWDF4SNTHOUR3/cow.jpg Blog - Why I Think this Image Fails, and How I Would Fix it. Too bad I never really had the time to fully implement the final look. Once again, I relied too heavilly on overlaying photos. This was not my favorite reference to collect.... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55e150c0e4b0cd58cff80dc2/1511759451516-11HIBPZVGAZXNEG0V2OW/comp.jpg Blog - Why I Think this Image Fails, and How I Would Fix it. This was the only comp I did before totally diving in:, it was just one quick test. I usually make a handful of different compositions, then pick one, then iterate more on that before I move forward. NOTE: The piece is flipped horizontal in the final image. The composition was SO far off, that it looked slightly better when it was flipped. This caused all sorts of issues during the creation of the image. The final render was flipped, not the full 3D scene. http://www.dev-xyz.com/blog/2017/1/24/art-book-exploration-part-01 monthly 0.5 2017-01-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55e150c0e4b0cd58cff80dc2/1485323644776-8SHH2BKN0QL6HUGUAQZB/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Art book exploration: Part 01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55e150c0e4b0cd58cff80dc2/1485321535799-EVC8MQ7ERLLKKTKX80J1/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Art book exploration: Part 01 My past art director Brian Horton showing how its done back in the day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55e150c0e4b0cd58cff80dc2/1485321973791-CTHOUBQAI2KFLTZ5F4BL/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Art book exploration: Part 01 I remember this page... for some good reasons. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55e150c0e4b0cd58cff80dc2/1485321804712-4ZQJSQW6FV9QQ9T9QPAS/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Art book exploration: Part 01 My favorite part of the prequels... when Obiwan and Mace fought through Naboo?! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55e150c0e4b0cd58cff80dc2/1485321009579-6SDNZK1P3OHKM2VNFB1J/001.jpg Blog - Art book exploration: Part 01 The worn out cover (notice the label left on from the school libraery) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55e150c0e4b0cd58cff80dc2/1485321100035-DXJ913XBE5374G96YULW/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Art book exploration: Part 01 A page I remember fondly https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55e150c0e4b0cd58cff80dc2/1485322052862-9AOGF0IWRYI4J2BBI0VX/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Art book exploration: Part 01 Phil Hale's work always stood out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55e150c0e4b0cd58cff80dc2/1485322127942-PYZHWOCNXJM70YJDI4NU/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Art book exploration: Part 01 This image always stood out to me.
