Realized I completely forgot this blog exists and never shared some tutorial render practice I did earlier this year.

Low poly forest scene for a course I am taking!!

This one wasn't too hard to figure out, though I think the composition could use some work. I had so much fun with all the reflective surfaces :D Being able to make puddles in the road was delightful. I think I will redo this one completely w/o help from the course material just to see if the lessons stuck. I'd also like to add some more variation to the trees. I also wonder if the background should be darker since it's more of a sunset scene?

But that's a project for another day!

Had a lot of fun with this tutorial, I learned a couple new techniques

LIGHTING!

Goodness gracious, it's crazy how much light can change a piece. This render used more point lights than I've seen others use (mostly they make use of area lights). You can definitely tell where they are positioned on the background plane... maybe moving the plane further back would help?

I'm off to watch some lighting videos [:

Editing this, it turns out that moving the plane was indeed the answer!

The old man [:

Took a little bit of a break while a beloved friend came to visit, so when I sat down last night I wasn't sure if I would remember the steps. Luckily, I was able to model this little guy without any tutorials or guidance! Yippee!!

Now, it's time for the monster <3
