Day 46 : Remaining stuff to hone

Mr Ron and Mr Douglas drop by today, they assess the progress of our work and gave us a deadline of wednesday to utterly finish shot 5. Ziyaad also has the composition done in nuke. My terrain and water was somehow more or less finalized, but i still would need to apply the lighting of the clouds from joyces when she is done. Initially we were intenting to cast reflection from may tze's lighting and joyces' clouds, however due to the intensive rendering time and taking into account of the distant position of the elements, we scrap that.

The rock pattern details outstand more in close up

I have to dull the lighting later on as well, to match that dark gloomy and hopeless look. I was told by Mr Ron to suppress my rendering time by optimizing the setting with the remaining time left.

Rendered with joyces' clouds, with the reflectivity casted on the water. The mood of the whole look doomy and menacing, this single frame render takes very long...

Subsequently i guess i would polish on my rainbow bridge while yushi is working on his explosion part and help the rest with their workload.
