Another shot directly without filter

I am honestly amazed, what nowerdays render like my octane render are able to produce, when you just play with 3 things. Specular Light Colour Like i mentioned in my older article.”Always filter?” this setup is completly without any lights than the emission neon lights from the surrounding logos. For the specular i used the high polish black material on the “bugatti chiron” which let the light bounce several times and give this interesting mirror effect of the logos. I also decided to add another color, which is a kind of opposite of the harmoniously play between this black, neon white and blueish. As you can see i decided to make the brake disc in this high glossy red. This gives an effect of catching the eye for the viewers. And still no filter usage at all. What are your thoughts or experiences with setups like this? Leave a comment! […]

Dance of the atmospheres.

This is a new concept i am working on. In this scene i try to let two totaly different colors dancing with each other. On the one site you got these warm and yellowish kind of colors, which stand for the sun and the warm feeling, but on the right site you got these technical colors which shine in more white, blue and green colors. They stand for a more technical atmosphere, mostly above 4000 kelvin up to 7000 kelvin. The more warm colors from the left came from 2400 up to 3000 kelvin. The dance of the two totaly different atmospheres take place in the golden ratio. I will keep on working and try to build more concept art, which everbody sees with different eyes. So keep on shining then cheers neo.

Always Filter? decide for yourself!

When i started with 3D there was this one rule which always came up to me. “Never use the pic directly out of your render engine! Always use a filter” Sure filters do their job and of course for more than 90% i use them aswell. But sometimes you just click render and then…. boom! You get this flair of the colours and the lights… the purity of a non filtered rendershot and guess what… You know this is enough. Every bit of a changing filter is too much. So i enclose this frame of my new “Bugattie” animation in this post. Take a look at it and decide for yourself if this needs any filter or not. Just leave a comment! cheers neo3d

new automotive animation coming

hey folks, i am glad to show you the first frame of my new automotive animation coming out in September. Focus of course is the great Bugatti Chiron. Theme of the animation is “lights and reflections” and the first setup of the great new Plugin “Light Kit Pro 3” from Greyscalegorilla. I truly can recommend this plugin as it makes your work as an 3d Artist much easier and more comfortable. As you can see the main light resources for the car are the neon lights placed in a circle around it. The reflections which changes their look, when you pas the car with the camera move are impressive and i can´t wait to show you. But for now i hope you like the atmosphere built by color and light. See you soon neo!
