Stage1_Scene2_Subway

In this stage, I’ve been thinking and finding the references for my scene2, where my character will be in the subway. the images below are the concept and style that I’ve been really into.

Not only I just found the images but also understood the aesthetics of this style called “Dreamcore”

Dreamcore is a surrealist aesthetic that uses motifs commonly associated with dreams, daydreams or nightmares, portrayed through media such as images, videos and, on occasion, music. Dreamcore shares many similarities with surreal memes; however, it does not rely on absurdist humor. Instead, dreamcore focuses on emulating the general feeling of a dream.

I would like to construct the scene incorporating this kind of style.

Animation

Clothes and animation simulation

Whereas, I found out there are some skin weight problems of the face of the character, so I fixed the weight thing and polished the animation for a bit and did the simulation again.

Lighting

I’ve been trying to think about the layer of the lighting of this scene, by now, I’ve only used two light, day light and area lighting.

Render

I compared the result of normal SRGB rendering and ACES rendering, which I saw the huge difference between them.

As we can see the lighting of the ACES render is way more smooth and visually comfortable.
