Based on an original works by myself - makes a change! A very simple picture but a very pretty one too. The picture is a bit girly - but hey - guys can be beautiful inside too!

> Includes
Nothing special in terms of includes - only colors.inc used. MegaPOV was used for the HDRI lighting.
> Textures
The colors for the metallic smarties were randomly generated - it took a while, as you can imagine, to get them just so - very poetic. A metallic reflective surface based on the smartie pigment was also used. The plane is just a white reflective surface.
> Objects
The objects in the scene are very very simple. The metallic smarties themselves are just spheres, scaled by half in the y direction. The floor is just a ground plane. A nested loop was used to position the smarties.
> Scene
For the HDRI lighting, I generated the HDR map using megapov and the soon to be released studio lighting by Jaime Vives Piqueres. This simulates real studio lighting conditions. Brilliant! > Post Processing
Depth of field was added in photoshop using the Depth of Field Generator Pro filter. A vertical gradient depth map was used instead of a depth map generated from megapov. I think it works very well in this image. > Credits
Thanks to Jaime Vives Piqueres for a beta release of his studio lighting. |
