I'm coming back to Blender after a bit of a break and I decided to do the Astray course to get back into it. Here's my attempt, I think the lighting could be better, perhaps its a bit too dark, and the volumetrics and mist are maybe washing things out too much. But, overall it was a good project to get me back into the swing of things.
I agree with Omar!
Probably in the top 10 so far, if not the top 5.
The volumetrics looks great, you got the right balance with the distant trees just visible and with enough to see the effect of the light beaming from the hut.
Perhaps you need to turn up the brightness on your monitor, it looks perfect on mine!
Excellent work.
In fact, I think this deserves a staff pick 🏆
Thanks! It's easy to second guess one's own work, so hearing from someone else is very appreciated.
Your results are really good. One of the bests I've seen so far. Good layout, placement of the camera, the house feels like the protagonist of the shoot. The mist covering things is actually a good thing, it adds to the feeling of scary. We're usually afraid to cover things up, we get the itch to show everything we worked on and it ends up hurting the composition. Great job.
Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it! I'll keep your thoughts about concealment in mind.
