BC4-1810 Homework, Tania Pinheiro

Solid work on all your renders this week ttcmpinheiro! No notes from me on the toy truck. It reads like plastic and overall looks quite appealing.

I feel like you daylight could use a little extra strength from your sunlight. Seems a touch dull to me. Could be filmic too though..And I do agree with n647 about the moonlight shadows being too sharp. Softening them would help.

Overall great work. An A in my book 👍

ttcmpinheiro Good job this week, Tania. You vehicle looks good. However I'm not getting a sense of contact shadows anywhere aside from the car on the road. I'm wondering if Ambient Occlusion is enabled. Besides that it's solid effort with Eevee.

You got really close with your light match! Light colors, intensities, and positions feel spot on. My only note is the same as the vehicle: Ambient occlusion isn't as noticeable as the source render. I'd recommend turning AO on if it's not and/or increasing the strength of the effect.

It's a B+ from me this week. Keep up the good work 👍

ttcmpinheiro Nice job on your "made you look" character render! The gold reads very well; very believable. Do you have a HDRI environment in the scene? It looks like the gold is only reflecting the lamps and a blue-ish color.  That's my only note, that I'd like to see more sings of an environment in the reflections. But it's a small note honestly. You've earned an A in my book.

I really like the source image you chose to match. It's a very appealing presentation. Unfortunately your shield - though I'm glad to see you did that tutorial! - is a pretty big disconnect from the source context (character). That makes it difficult to A) setup matching light and B) discern how much it matches in the end. I can see that your background is slightly more greenish in color and i don't see much evidence of a blue fill light coming from the left like I do in the source. Overall it's a B from me.

Solid work overall. One more week - keep it up!

ttcmpinheiro Congrats on submitting homework all 4 weeks, Tania! You've done a lot of good work this month.

Your arch viz is looking good. Certainly in the believable realm. A couple notes from me:

• In between Black and White and Color. Most of the image is greyscale in color scheme with the contrast of the purple accents. So it creates this interesting juxtaposition, almost like a scene from the wizard of oz when half the world is in color and half the world is black and white. Or that image filter that lets us isolate a certain color while desaturating everything else. All to say it's interesting but less realistic.
• In between finished and WIP. Clearly some materials are finished as intended, like the grey trim paint with a nice touch of glossiness. However others look like a default grey, like the toilet for example, which should be highly reflective like plastic/porcelain. It leaves me not fully knowing if the image is finished or a work in progress. 

Overall it's a B+ from me.

Your light match is fantastic! Definitely one of my favorites from the month. You're super close to the source. Good work: A+.

Looking back through your thread, you've been fairly quiet this month, speaking louder with your renders than words. Which is fine - I hope you enjoyed the class :)
