Softwares: Blender, Photoshop
Techniques: Lighting, Composition, Modeling
This assignment was divided into two parts, focusing on lighting scenes involving both fire and water. For the fire themed scene, I chose to create a visualization with scented candles from Loewe and the goal of creating a warm and cozy atmosphere through lighting and color composition.
LIGHTING
The lighting setup was built around a strong main light positioned from the right side to define the form and create depth within the scene. A secondary light source was added to soften and brighten the shadows, helping to maintain detail and balance in the darker areas. To create the candle flames, PNG images with emission properties were used, allowing the fire to cast a soft and natural glow throughout the composition. And the last light is a rim light to give so brightness in the shadows of the candles.
AFTERTHOUGHTS
Working on this project was a highly enjoyable experience, especially the opportunity to experiment with lighting and atmosphere. One of the main challenges was creating the candle flame in a visually convincing way. Initially, I considered using simulation techniques, but after exploring different approaches, I decided to work with layered PNG elements instead. This solution proved to be both efficient and well-suited for this specific project, allowing for greater control while maintaining the desired look.
