Default Re: A Great Sadness - BSG Short Film

If I can suggest, pump up the key light so the shadows show the details on the model better. Render it at full HD resolution, add the noise, and then scale down. Then apply something like a 3-10% blur in photoshop and see if you get something that looks close to the production shots. If it looks funky, then do the blur before you scale down and see if that gets you closer to the production look.

GINO doesn't use a lot of strong key lights with the larger ships. I think they do that for matting purposes but I'm not sure. Don would know more on that). They use them with the fighters all the time. However, with this model, I think its a mistake not to amplify the detail.

All my best,


Sandy
