(Atmospheric?) lighting test…
I’m currently testing some atmospheric type of lighting for my next art project, which is going to be loosely based on clichéd horror film type of imagery. As a result I’ve come up with the image on the left (click it to enlarge!). It’s my attempt to “copy” a scene from No Country for Old Men, where the protagonist is sitting in a hotel room, and he can hear his attacker (crazy guy, with crazy haircut!) outside, so he turns out the lights. This inevitably means that room is completely dark, apart from a glint of light spilling out underneath the door. Then the attacker crazy dude’s shadow blocks out the glint of light as he steps in front of the door - seriously creepy stuff. I don’t think I’ve got the effect quite nailed yet, but as I said I’m just experimenting at the moment - it’s not like it’s a FINAL image or anything; really what were you THINKING?!
And if anyone wants to see the node setup is below, not that there’s much stuff going on there…
Although I did change the colours of the connecting wires (not sure if they have a proper name really), and the In/Out nodes… Oh and you can see how in the RGB curves node my (onboard!) graphics card can’t show any curves in blender - yeh I know I’m getting an actual graphics card soon!
That’s it for now… Au revoir!
