A few weeks ago I made this Poké Ball in #Blender, and I got a few comments saying how realistic it looks, so here’s some behind the scenes tips on how to make more realistic renders 👇


As you can see the actual 3D model is quite simple, but here are 3 things that help add realism to this scene:

1. Environment Lighting 💡
By far the best way to improve your render is with good lighting, and the easiest and most realistic way to do this is with an environmental sky texture (which doubles as a background in this scene). Not only will this add realistic lighting, but also reflections.

2. Roughness & Bump Textures ⛓
Another good way to add details to an otherwise simple model is by using bump and roughness maps in the materials. For example, the scratches on this model were done with a roughness texture, and the sci-fi panel details were done with bump maps.

3. Post Processing Effects 🌟
These are just extra effects applied to the image that help add some cool effects, such as the depth of field blur, glare on the light, and also a slight vignette effect (darkening on the corners of the image).

Obviously there are lots of other things you can do to add realism, and I didn't go in depth of how to use the above methods, but I hope this gives you some insight into the process! 😄

Today I uploaded my first gaming video on my @RivenRifter YouTube channel! I had a lot of fun editing this! 😁 If you're intersted you can check out the video here: https://youtu.be/gqz7XTGdYSo

Surprise! I'm busy making a short #horror game, loosely inspired by #FNAF! Not the kind of thing I usually make, but I had an idea and I thought it would make a pretty good game. Can't share too much about it, but what do you think of this WIP image? 👀

#GJAsks My comfort game is definitely Minecraft... Untill a creeper shows up that is!

Joltober is here! Today's prompt is Raven! Each day in October, you’ll get a new prompt and a new quest at 12 pm Eastern! Go to your quest log to find the quest! It'll expire tomorrow at 9 am PT / 12 pm ET.

#GJAsks I love the lore of the Myst games... There are whole novels that connect to the games, and even complete journals in the games! On top of that there's a lot of lore you can only learn about by exploring the games 🔍👀

@blurryspirits is a Jolter to Watch! They post great Pokémon fan art and more!! Follow them before the quest ends on October 8 and you'll get Coins!

Which one used the #Knife? 👀🔪

I made this 3D scene in #Blender inspired by the prompt "Bridges" for MYSTober 😄

Joltober is here! Today's prompt is Lantern! Each day in October, you’ll get a new prompt and a new quest at 12 pm Eastern! Go to your quest log to find the quest! It'll expire tomorrow at 9 am PT / 12 pm ET.

For the GameJolt prompt #Lantern 💡 What do you think?

This model might also end up appearing in my game "What Was Found at Ravenhill" 🔍
