Candle With SSS

[John Bigboote]

HERE is how the candle finished-up once I pulled the plug (stopped dinking) on it. The project file is available in the Contributors Cue for the interested.

Wow, A:M Films did a number on it... 4X3'd it. Ow.

 

HERE is the link to the project in the CC.

that is amazing...great stuff

[John Bigboote]

Thanks Paul--- it is ALL A:M too... including lens-flare and DOF effects.

I was going to start listing the various 'features' you've put into this project but I think it's easier to just say... everything!

yup- the render queue/options panel had 'ON,ON,ON,ON right down the line. I should give it one more try (thanks Rodney) with Ambient Occlusion...

[John Bigboote]

I set one instance of A:M to render (16 passes) overnight WITH Ambient Occlusion... this is the result thus far- you can see at about the 5 second mark where the AO goes away(not rendered yet)

 

I will 'up' the AO effect and number of passes and let her render over the weekend. I would use NetRender but there is that trick you gotta employ to get your DOF settings to stick... I'll just render it in 3 copies of A:M instead.

Here is a full-frame at 720 X 486 resolution.

I notice that if you scrub through the frames the foreground seems to slip out of focus, then back in as the camera zooms in. I'm wondering, is that the nature of the beast, or should it not be happening?

[John Bigboote]

Hey Paul! Yes, I intended that to happen- I tightened-up the front and back focus controls at that point... making a shallower DOF.
