July Peril Pinup - Bonus Stonework
Added 2019-07-27 03:35:42 +0000 UTCIn response to a fan request, here are two closeup images of statuary from the July Peril Pinup. As you might have surmised, these two angelic statues are not normal sculptures, but are actually victims of the gorgons.
Rendering these two images turned out to be more of a chore than I had anticipated. I had thought that I could simply add new cameras to the original scenes I used for the Peril Pinup images and then render them. I was wrong.
When I rendered the closeup images of the angels, the eyelashes and sections of the scalp, which should have been invisible, were rendering as pale areas without any textures. I worked on the scenes for a few hours but could not resolve the problem.
Fortunately, I had created the maze in sections that I could simply import and assemble as needed. When I went back to the base files for each section with an angel in it, they rendered properly. I used those to create the images above.
Enjoy!

Yes, I will go back and render some of them as time allows :)

The mage is outdoors in full daylight, which is a single, distant light source (plus incidental reflections off nearby objects), while the angels are illuminated by several, smaller light sources close by. Edit: I used the same surface texture for the mage and the angels.
