Super nice render. Lighting matched the environment really well. Very impressive.

Thanks Man. Shot a custom hdri at the location and that’s what I’m lighting/reflection mapping it with.

u/Smokey_Desperado May 22 '20

What camera did you use for the hdri? Dslr? Do you think 360 cameras like insta360 would be a good alternative? Currently I'm just using my phone and google street app for capturing my hdris.

I disagree on the lighting. The tone of the lighting is perfect, but the shadows are whack. There’s no way shadows would be that crisp on an overcast day. It’s the main thing that threw me off.

This back alley looks familiar ...must just be a coincidence.

notices TO in the watermark

Holy shit is this in/near Kensington?

u/theothercomrade May 22 '20

Haha yup. Good eye! Just north of College near Kensington.

Somehow I knew this too, although I don't think I recognized the exact location I just thought "this looks an awful lot like the annex area"

Haha, loved it! A little in depth on how it was made?

u/theothercomrade May 22 '20

Thanks. Simulated it with a little “melt rig” I whipped together in real flow mostly using the elastic deformer. Check my Instagram story BTS highlights for a look at my R&D process on this one.

The only time someone saying that’s quality garbage as a compliment.

Woah. Nice.

My brain didn't comprehend what was happening at first.

Well done!

u/AshFalkner May 22 '20

Just one of those days, I guess.

This is really well done!

u/asmithp May 22 '20

Getting hot out there, haha.

Nice job! I love how the goop of the trash can pushes the brick and cone a little bit at the end. Great little touch!

I didn't realize what sub this was on, and got really freaked out, really fast.

As others have said, there are shadows and other things that hint something is a bit off, BUT only on the second watch onwards.

The first casual watch through everything looks real which is what really matters.

The question to all is: What objects, if any, are actually there?

1

u/theothercomrade May 22 '20

Thanks man! Yeah the shadows aint perfect - I screwed up one of my render passes and was too lazy to re-render. So i couldn't isolate the shadows good enough to soften them as much as i would have liked to. All of the garbage objects in there are CG - so the concrete, fence and the houses in the BG were real and everything else is added in CG. The location is just an empty parking space in an alley.

u/jimbomescolles May 22 '20

What the fuck is real and what is not ? I suppose the scene and fence is real, and everything else rendered (dumpster, bricks, cone, chair and boxes) ?
