Title: 3ds Max + Corona - Rock Scene
Post by: Sphere on 2015-03-26, 09:58:32

This is more of a test, and I'm by no means a professional, but I'm loving Corona. So enjoy the scene! It was about 3 hours of work.

I love the mood and the "story"! That subtile mystic glow appears inviting and frightening at once. Bravo!

Good luck!

Is the DOF made in post or straight from Corona? Looking at the thumbnail I thought it's a spaceship. :)

Hi! The blur was added in After Effects with the Frischluft Depth of Field plugin. It's fantastic, far better than After Effects' default Camera Lens Blur effect.

Looking good, but why so cold tones?

I like that slightly ominous vibe, it's a little less one-sided than if it were a bright day. From a compositional perspective, the cool tint accentuates the orange glow from inside, I like the flare it gives.

You should definitely try Corona's DOF!

I have indeed! I was experimenting a bit though and I liked the freedom of adding it in post. The Frischluft plugin also gives finer controls over the look.

I also added a bit of fog using the depth pass, and I wasn't sure that the effect would interact as expected with blur directly rendered with Corona. For absolute realism though, I'll definitely go for Corona's DOF.

So you should also try Corona's global volume material! :D

I used that for this too :D But it didn't add a fog effect, it just seemed to suppress the lighting, darkened down the image and softened the light. I liked that effect but I also wanted a more explicit fog effect.
