[UPDATED]: I figured out how to submit the work but I don't mind receiving additional feedbacks :)
Thank you for this amazing course, it is magical!
Hi! I've done the work, rendered it and to my suprise I noticed "black stripes" artifact on the floor. At first, I was afraid it was something with my graphics card but then I realised it were just bird's parented parts that I accidentally didn't select when moved the birds :) It took me quite a long time to render so I just decided to post what it is. So, let's just pretend we don't have those artifacts.
After render was finished, I noticed that the small statue has some unnatural light, it's too bright. But that's my opinion. Please, share your opinions, I'll be glad to know what to fix. And I thank you all beforehand!
What I used in my scene:
The vase: One Red Key light (if I'm correc with the name) that comes from the red chair and, in my opinion, adds little bit more realism as I have the red chair to the right that in theory should cast red light, and one white Rim light to the left of the vase, used linking lights.
+ I turned the chair red to bring attention to it cause some birds now are sitting on the chair. Especially the biggest.
The biggest bird has an additional red key light (or rather rim light) from the left that adds more red colour from the chair, used linking lights.
The coffe table: I added one back area light to the most front leg cause it looked too dark. I think it may also be called "fill" light, used linking lights.
The birds: On the coffe table, there's one bird that looks at other birds, it has one Area light that is just above it, used linking lights. I decided to add more birds, the biggest bird is on the red chair and looks both in the window and a little bit to camera.
And one little bird on the window pane that is in the right corner, it has no additional light except for the main Area Portal light and Sky texture.
The picture to the left: The IES light on the wall, plus one Area light that added a stronger outline on the top of the picture, used linking lights too.
The table to the left: Two Area lights. One Area light above and a little bit off the table, and the second to the left and both with light linking.
The big furniture in the center: One Area light above with linking lights. I considered it was enough with just one cause it looked quite fine for me.
The lamp: is with disk area light, I tried to do it as in the video but I need to train more.
The window: Portal light from Area light and the Sky texture from the world lighting.
And of course, the volumetric light from the cube that covers the whole scene adds those gloomy effects from the sun light and the IES light.
I'd like to know what you see in the birds, in their behaviour and mood. Do they look sad? Or do they look somehow mysterious? Your feedbacks will help me understand your prisma. I'll attatch the pictures of BEFORE and AFTER adding lights just below in the comments cause I'm not sure I understand how to share pictures with links here.
Sadly, I didn't turn off the lights on the Vase in the Before picture, so let it be as it is.
