Lighting!

ok so i have been playing around with lighting. I practiced with hdri's, but due to the nature and position of our object, we would need to create a set of images from very high up, and even then this would only get us just alot of washed out sky colours. so instead i was creative and created my own environment light rig, which acts as an ambient occlusion render, just for light emmision instead of subtle shading. I am a little secretive of this custom light rig, so im not gonna post up the hows and whys, just the end result. na na na na na.


Cloud Development.

I have been learning to use fluids so i can give our group the ability to have dynamic foreground clouds in our piece. I wont upload 1000s of screenshots, just a couple i was happy with. this is all just look development, when the matt paintings are finished I will be able to custom make clouds for it. Here are a couple images of the clouds i was working on.
