Procrastination Builds a Nation.

One road. One street

Pebbles and water catching on a rough walkway.



My ever-dying retaining wall.

I know I should have done this a while back. Here are some pictures I took during the rain a month ago. The clouds helped to even out the lighting. Okay, back to work.

Fun with Kitchens!

So I did some stuff with the kitchen. Of course I started playing with edges. I tried using the node editor for every surface. Trying to get inspiration for how to render my final project. I also used a tutorial to make a fancy floor (nothing fancy technically speaking).

The rendering took an unreasonable amount of time. The second above took about 2.5 hours.

O_o.

I think it was the amount of shaders I had. I'm not really sure. I need to figure a way around that. I'll see if I can do some less intensive renders for later, but alas, my midterm is draws ever closer....so why am I still here?

Give It An Edge.

I tried out a sketch tutorial I found online. It wasn't that difficult. Just using animated deformations to cause the edges to be squiggly. I really should be working on other projects...

Kitchen Colored Scene

So... I it seems that I am having trouble with the lighting in my kitchen scene. Actually my whole kitchen scene in general. Here are a few versions that I have found to be rather decent.

This first one is a brighter evening lit scene. a light pattern on the walls, with blue light from the window and orangey light from the hallway.

The second one is the same scene but I moved the lights around a tad. Its darker and colder than the previous scene.

The last one is lit the same as the first but the counter top has a marble-esque feeling to it, but to me it seems to distracting.

Any comments and critiques would be very helpful! See you guys all in class on Monday! ^.^
