Phhhew! A little late, but still completed around midnight! Learning some new tools and workflows. Today's creative image is a whole new world to me! I have always wanted to dive into these types of renderings :) Well today was the day! Lots to learn and refine on this one. I will continue to work on shading, lighting, post work etc... Getting some volumetric lighting and a more exciting background should add more life to the scene.
There is something really cool about the maps that are used to create these types of renders. I feel like they are forms of art all by themselves. I played around with overlaying a couple different ones and thought I would post that too.
Cheers!
