just a little doodle... :D

I was watching traditional Korean dances..
Fan dance was especially divine..!

And the Korean Ministry of National Defense Traditional Band performance was amazing as well!

Inspired by that I did a little doodle!

I have always been interested in traditional Korean clothes, Hankbok.
More exploration is definitely needed! XD

Reflective house anyone? XD

So here I am working with lights once again.. and then I realized....!



House's wall and wood beams look bit too bright with weird line of light...
I know that global illumination bounces the photons around but that line of light was really bugging me...
Looked at it very closely and then I realized it must be the material!
And as I suspected, the material was Phong E with 0.5 reflectivity.. NO WONDER! XD




This is the shot after getting rid of the reflectivity..
Much darker :D!!

Now I am working with the window lights..
I'm definitely going to play around with sunlight a little bit more though..

+ Once again, the model that I am lighting is from a lighting challenge from 3DRENDER.COM

Life Drawing :D

GESTURES

LONG POSES

FOOT STUDY

I've really really REALLY enjoyed 3rd year life drawing.
We tried so many new things that showed new side of my life drawing.
Marker gestures were done with marker attached to a long stick.
It makes you really loose in terms of control but that gives it more life which I lack in my life drawings.

I will post the second portfolio which has more fun stuff later since I had to submit them for mark.. :D

Return of the blogger!

I'm back! with new name for my blog!
School was hectic.. at least for me anyway..
I didn't really have time to work on my portfolio so might as well start the blog again and keep track of things!!
For a starter, I present to you...

LIGHT OVERKILL

mental ray global illumination working overtime, I would say.. XD

My computer takes forever to render things and it's really annoying me...
The school is doing storage upgrade on the computers so I don't think I have access to it for awhile..
I am thinking of upgrading my graphic card and adding memory.....
Should be much cheaper than buying whole new system, right? :D
