Steampunk Dragonfly
Entry for the WeeklyCGChallegne n° 107 - Theme Insects
This is the first image with some more elaborate post processing for me, i learned quite a lot from this one.
As usual, all comments and constructive criticism are very welcome, i'm interested to hear how it could be improved. Thank you all for passing by!!!
Final Image
Blender Viewport
AO pass in Blender
Raw render - take 1... but i was not 100% happy as the dragonfly looked too merged with the background and did not stand out enough
Render, take 2 with a strong light under the dragonfly. I guess there's a way to make light bypass a plane but i have no idea how so i just removed the background as i have it already from the previous render
Final merging in gimp, with a background, dust particles, and a few other touches
