Lace Scene

As I am doing/did with the other scene I am going to add the progressive images to one post to make it easier to view the changes.

After having done the sofa part I was feeling much more confident in my compositing skills and felt i would be able to finish this scene quicker than the other. This first attempt I had almost got the shadows right straight away but found that the cube above wasn’t at the right angle resulting in a distinct line halfway back in the shadows. I need to go back and alter the positioning of the cube. Also the lace is incredibly thin meaning that it looks like its gliding above the flooring because the shadow is barely perceptible.

After having gone back in and altering the cube position I’ve now realised I altered it too far the opposite direction resulting in the lace being in shadow for longer than it should. I also forgot to increase the size in the Y axis.

I finally managed to get the shadow in the correct position and the lace emerges nicely from the shadows. When i render out the scene i need to remember to move the lace to the left a bit as it intersects with the wire slightly. Also I think i need to make the lace even thicker as the shadow still doesn’t show up enough giving the lace a gliding effect.
