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! 😄

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

Made this Star Wars inspired droid in #Blender today! Should I try animate it? 👀

Boo! 👻 My favourite #ScaryGame is Nancy Drew: Shadow at the Water's Edge! I love the spooky music and atmosphere, and there are even a few jump scares 👀

@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!

Here's a fancy wall lamp I made in #Blender for my game "What Was Found at Ravenhill" 😄

#Joltober 2024 has come to an end so we wanted to show off some of the art posted by your fellow Jolters.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's challenge!

(Check the article to links to the original posts so you can give 'em a like!)

Which one used the #Knife? 👀🔪

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? 👀

Joltober is here! Today's prompt is #Costume! 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" 🔍
