This render is based on one of the great artworks by Sandro Rybak Artworks (Thanks Sandro!).
Everything done in Blender.
The original artwork has no title, the title “Virtual Reality” is a name I came up with for my render.
wow great image, it actually reminded me those classic freaky pictures u see in some horror movies and games.
Indeed I felt some weird feeling when I saw the image, uncomfortable, it is just so weird.
But the render itself it is amazing, great atmosphere. Great usage of textures (for example you could have added a floor with lots of definition but u didnt, superb. I know I probably would have made that mistake), and the final composition is just perfect.
I used 5 spotlights and 3 pointlights to kinda get the look I wanted.
Managing 8 lights was a really hard thing to do…
But still, I could’t manage to get the background exactly as I wanted.
So I rendered 3 Layers, background, midground and foreground and edited the background seperately from the rest and put all layers back together after that.
Thank you!
To the original being an old picture: It actually isn’t.
Maybe I should have posted another link to the facebookpage of Sandro (Hope this doesn’t count as advertising o.O ):
This transferred really well to 3D. I think they both are great standalone pieces. If the title didn’t say “virtual Reality” I wouldn’t gather that from just the image alone. But just looking at it makes me want to stare, and figure out what that thing is, and why is it glowing so much? I like it!
The original artwork has no title, according to Sandro.
“Virtual Reality” is a name I came up while modelling and setting up the scene. I had to interpret the scene somehow and thought that this might be a rather interesting interpretation of Sandros artwork.
