Alex Ledante
I don’t know if any of you bother reading what I write or if you’re just here to look at the rough sketches, but if you do actually read the descriptions then you’ve doubtless heard me lament my lack of control over the light settings of the new engine that I use…
Great news for chess fans! Late last week I finally cracked the Iray code and now I can light my work properly. Which is not to say that I enjoy the mastery that I had in 3DL or Lux. At least not yet but I now have a handle on the lighting system that has been eluding me all this time
There remains a long road ahead before I can aproach my former level of expertise but at least now I know which direction to go, so it is an exciting time for me. The new year should hold many exciting developments in my style, tanoshimi ni shite kudasai…
#1 the breakthrough
This piece just so happened to be the one I made the breakthrough on, so even though it is nothing special, it does have the rimlighiting and high contrast lighting that I have been longing for which is a big deal for me
#2 front view
Her outfit has some really cool boots that you couldn't see in the other piece and I wanted to play with the lighting some more so I did a test render for the boots themselves. I don't mean to imply that any of you have a foot fetish (not that there is anything wrong with it) but if you do then this is probably a very exciting piece for you, if that's your sort of thing...
Wehehehe… You’re right! I feel and enjoy the novelty of your work!
I’ve been after this for months, reading documentation and tutorials…
Without a doubt, I would say “It’s a great work as a result of your cool sketch!”
she looks like the main character in the movie, the Fifth Element, which is Leloo, played by Milla Jojovich, except Leloo had orange hair, and there was a lot of neon orange in that movie as an accent.
It was a fun film, but I liked the comic better. She does have a Leloo vibe going on, which was entirely unintentional…
It was also cool that my late cat’s name was Lelou Belle, and I wasn’t aware lelou was a human name when I first watched the movie. So, I thought it was an interesting coincidence.
Did you come up with that name on your own? Also, are you sure Lelou is an actual name? Because it sounds made up to me…
the girl’s face looks like jennifer lawrence.
yeah, it is a name. my mother actually named her lelou, and i added belle. and then i met women and small dogs in real life as well as on the internet named lelou.
I beg to differ Alex she looks pretty special, like she could work on an archaeology dig or just show up,for moral support 🙂
How kind of you to say. I was going for a girl nextdoor sorta vibe with her and then the lighting finally started to work and sorta derailed everything
