Making Of

Nature morte - symbolism and meaning

Recreating still lifes in 3D offers a great learning curve for refining one's understanding of lighting and composition. And as we are working in 3D realm, it is very simple to recreate the right light setup.

For example in this scene I used a rectangular cold light, simulating a window on the left side of the scene. Additionally, a warmer circular directed light was strategically positioned to enhance the visual appeal of the objects within the scene.

An interesting dimension was added to the realism through the deliberate use of caustics, a feature often sparingly utilized in our visualizations due to its potential to significantly extend the rendering process.

Despite the challenges associated with caustics, the end result was remarkably satisfying. I fine-tuned the scene using vignettes and employed straightforward post-production techniques, contributing to the overall success of the visual representation.
