An attempt at something?

Postby zeealpal » Wed May 16, 2012 9:30 pm

Here is a render I had been working on for the past couple of days... I initially created it as an empty room with the sun coming in.... and had no idea what it was meant to represent.

After experimenting and adding in items, I ended up creating this:
This render was created in LuxRender 1.0RC rendered to 1.5ks/p. I exported as a HDR image (.exr) and used Photoshop to alter the HDR toning when I converted it to LDR.

I decided to make it my interpretation of what I felt 'the inside of a depressed persons mind' might be like. Not having been depressed myself, but knowing a number of depressed people I wanted to capture the feeling of being trapped inside a dark place, trapped and haunted my your own thoughts, and often a I have noticed with some people, they can see a way out (the light through the window) but can never escape to there themselves.

It would be my first attempt at something with a little more meaning to it :P (Compared to my usual light experiment renders)

Here is another render I just completed:

Thought it would be better to edit it into this post rather than make a new one.

Not in anger
Not in wrath
The reaper came today
An angel visited this grey path
And took the cube away

If you hadn't guessed, the top one reminds me of the ratman dens in Portal.

Thanks for the move, Abel :)

And thanks for the comments :) I love using LuxRender, especially using it for more than Light tests xD

Yeah :) Toning the HDR output in Photoshop helped me define the light rays more, so you can see the shadows of the bars, bed etc...
