vfog

here is side by side a 5000 samples render (about 30 minutes) & a 32000 samples render (some 4 or 5 hours).
5000 samples 32000 samples

The 32k is a bit less grainy, its still not as nice as i'd like; plus those long rendering hours dont fit the bill in the making of a set for me.
This is why i need a second machine to render while i would keep on working with my main workstation *sigh*
In any case, i'll keep on working the set, it's just probably gonna take a lot longer than i had hope for a release. And if i want a second machine, i need to release sets... so i'll be working on a smaller scope stuff to in parallel that i can put in store before spring.

heart in the night


more testing with volumetric fog.
this one looks a lot better (in terms of grainy-ness) but it took a 7 hours rendering.
i'll need to check with a scene from Resolve, overnight, if it reduces the grain the same way, or if its an entierly different problem.

how about...

reworking the lighting of Resolve, i'm trying to play the film noir feel.
here is the previous version next to the reworked one:

new version:

i'm not yet done with the volumetric fog but i like this new look that fits my idea of the narrative.
next will be to fit Ella in all this dark mess without loosing her in the shadows...
