This project has come a long way in the almost month long it has been active! It's hard to think this project started with an inspired idea scribbled down on an exam pad... Thank YOU!
This has been like a combination of everything learned so far. Almost, since not everything is in here. This scene has no rigging in anything for example.
The bookshelf that took so much effort just stands in the room in the background, but that's exactly what it's supposed to do, since if it drew your attention as a viewer, it would not be convincing enough. If your eyes ignore it in passing, they accept it as correct and move on.
Here is the current state with compositing applied (node editor):
Here is the node set-up (if it cuts off or something, just right click and say view image or whatever your browser uses):
(the actual node set-up)
The above would be considered a simple node set-up and I agree. Didn't take long to do and looks great (imo).
There's still some work to do though.
- The music stand still needs to be modeled and finished
- The vase needs less specularity
A big thanx to all the users on BlenderArtists.org and all the friends who support me on FB and YouTube and other locations. I appreciate all the feedback!
Most of all to FATHER, SON and HOLY SPIRIT for all the support, encouragement, pushing for more than I thought I could accomplish and for helping me through and to do it. YOU rock!!!
