Long Way Down – Lounge scene – Virtual Reality 3D animated film

Lighting and Rendering, Virtual Reality

Long Way Down is a 3D animated short movie. Virtual Reality based movie which is interactive, where you can experience the movie as the POV character.

Probably the most challenging projects i have worked on, mainly because of the amount of trial and errors we had to do for the project to render in 4k resolution.

My main responsibility  for this shot was setting up various lights to give different mood to the entire space. As this movie is animated, i want the light to be more distinct and making sense for the shot chosen.

 

List of things i worked to get the final output for this scene are:

  • Shading and texturing
  • Model clean up.
  • Lighting
  • Render Layers.
  • Render Optimization
  • Compositing

There is also a Nuke Node Network diagram attached to the gallery to have a deeper understanding on my render layers used.
