Wow i really love the subtle light and soft contrast. Very well done, enough decor to be cozy but not too much to destroy the idea of a simple less is more space. Congrats!
Could you talk about the lighting and tonemapping? I am curious how did you light the space so evenly but also keeping a sunlight and also keeping a nice contrast in the darker materials.
Would love to hear your tips.
Hi, thank you so much!
Your message corresponds exactly to what I have been practicing in the last months. To be able to keep a balance between what is illuminated and what has shadow and at the same time to maintain an even tone and not to be stained "yellow" by the sunlight.
The scene is lit with a corona sky with very little saturation and a very soft corona sun, something like 0.005 of intensity and 5500 kelvin temp.
Attached is an image of the tonemapping, in conclusion I have left most of the options disabled, and the overall tone of the image is actually handled with the sky tone that I have previously set. The strong and sharp contrasts were adjusted with the tone curve option.
And as a personal tip, spending some time on the floor and wall textures will improve the final results. I don't like to use luts either, I find that they alter the naturalness of the light or I don't know if it's a problem with my eyes jajaja :P
Thanks c:
