Morning light
This is a project that I did trying to reproduce the mood, morning light. I started this project with the modeling of the house and then starting doing the environment. My main workflow for this project was modeling with Modo and rendered with Corona Renderer via 3dsmax.
The idea come when I was seeing some photography references and some was with this lighting condition, morning light, then I started to research to do a project with this lighting, which I do not had tried yet. I have chosen a house in the wood trying to simulate this lighting condition. The main material for me with this subject was the wood. I choose a dark wood type to add some contrast with the lighting and the vegetation of the scene.
For this project, and most of my project, I have used Modo, 3dsmax and Corona Renderer. Starting out with Modo, is where I do my modeling and UV´s check. The house and a simple terrain was done in Modo and then exported to 3dsmax. With 3dsmax I started doing the main environment. I tried some high trees to focus in the lighting. Working with Corona I create a Corona sun + sky , add a volumetric material to recreate the atmosphere.
The feedback was greater than I expected. The comments were good and encouraging. Trying to reproduce this lighting condition was a really good learning. The main objective with this project was lighting, so after finishing it I think a become a little better in lighting a scene.
I love the simplicity of the house, it looks really elegant though. Awesome!
