Dan Grigsby - BA Animation 2009/2010

Update on Shot 6.

Update 1

Improvements made:

• Adjusted the hue of the blue.
• Turned off shadows from a fill light as only the key light from the window should be casting shadows.
• Increased the light radius in the Raytracing settings to soften shadows.
• Lowered diffuse on wall texture, so there is less light spread, more emphasis on Ed.
• Scaled floor tiles.
• Changed textures on bed cover and wall tiles.
• Imported cabinet props.
• Test glows of machine dials.
• Used HDRI to give reflected details.

Update 2

Improvements Made:

• Focus length of camera altered, zoomed in, composition changed so that Ed's head isn't cut off by bed.
• Less light spread on wall. Intensity of key light on Ed increased.
• Imported chair prop and light linked.

Update 3

Improvements Made:

• Position of chair.
• Blues slightly desaturated, more natural.
• Less diffused light on machine to blend in with scene.
• Diffuse and light linking altered on bed sheet and duvet.
