Scandinavian Teaser

Going through a period of frustration with lighting at the moment, so it is surprising (?) to hear that the entire scene is lit with only HDRi, although I hear this so often. Thanks for sharing +1

I feel your struggle... I was feeling hopeless for years until it clicked so you know, keep working and eventually you'll get there!

Thank you, I appreciate the encouragement :)

Any tips, advice, workflow notes, articles, or tutorials, that really helped make it 'click' for you?

That's kind of funny because I was looking at some making ofs/ tutorials recently and there's all the knowledge one needs but back in the days they seemed like nothing useful is there..
The truth is the best way to up your game is to play the game :) I was constantly trying to figure out stuff and at some point it just got better. So i just hope you have the motivation and time to spend because that will get you there the fastest :)

Oh it is amazing really .. hard to see such a brilliant work like dis nowadays

I wanna ask u how many hours did u take to finish this render and the hours for all frames u rendered?

[arczi]

Thank you!

It took about one week to render the stills and about 3 weeks for the animation (using my workstation at home and another 3 machines at work)
