We're happy to publish the finished SFW images from our collab test project "THE PHOTOSHOOT".
Due to the story's erotic nature, only a part can be shown in this blog 😳
Scene 01 of "The Photoshoot"
In the first image we can see dear old Lonan looking sexy, ready to take a few photos of Lyhn, the narrator of this fantasy.
Overall we're happy with the result of this image, even though we don't like the amount of purple we got after the color adjustments. The purple gets accented because Lonan's skin is dark and red-hued, and when mixed with the blue light from the environment it becomes almost indigo.
We're definitely unhappy with the image noise. That's something that is out of our hands, since the only way to fix it would be to have a super machine and to render the image with at least 4096 samples, which is impossible for us to have and do unless we get 💯 ko-fis.
EDIT: The latest Blender version includes a denoise option that removes all artifacts and achieves a clean render even with very low samples 🥳
We're satisfied, because we weren't sure we could make something decent -we had great doubts - but we like the result and think it was worth it to make this project and aim to perfect our technique for our future renders.
Scene 04 of "The Photoshoot"
We're very proud of how this image turned out ☝️
We made some small adjustments in the rendering and light settings, and accidentally came across this result. We really like the light/shadow game this render has. We were, in fact, compelled to go back to Scenes 01, 02 and 03, and re-render them using the same adjustments.
Also, Lyhn looks stunning. We're dying 😍✨️🌸
⛔ A small side note about censorship 🚫Regarding Scenes 02 and 03, we cannot post them in this blog because we want to keep the contents "safe", and they are considered NSFW, because there is full frontal nudity in them. To see the whole, uncensored project, please visit the blog of our collaborator, and writer of this story, srpgen. |
In the meantime Lonan is taking his photos, minding his own business, completely unaware of what is going on in Lyhn's head.
Scene 05 of "The Photoshoot"
We don't love how pale he looks in this and other frames. It's so hard to lit him right. We tried 5 different versions with different lighting/render settings, and he looked either purple or pale. We can't seem to produce a single good shot. We obviously have much to learn! 😩
Scene 09 of "The Photoshoot"
Scene 09 was another lighting nightmare, although this time we're a bit happier with the result.
We love how expressive Lonan's face can be. We barely move his features and he projects the mood we're looking for. In this image he looks sad, teased, and disappointed, all at the same time. We like to think he is celibate (his wife died or abandoned him/went missing) and he still feels the obligation of being faithful to her. But Lyhn is making it very difficult for him, poor, lonely photographer!
Scene 10 of "The Photoshoot"
We all know where this is going. ⚠️ Nasty things ahead 🚨🚧
Scene 14 of "The Photoshoot"
Lonan is working really hard to have some self control. He is doing the smart thing. He is leaving. Or is he?
Scene 15 of "The Photoshoot"
Oh dear. WHat is Lyhn gonna do? 😱
