More of my foolishness…..
First image - SU textured, hidden geometry on
Second image - render with pretty straight up post pro
Third image - render and got “jazzy” with the post pro
Rendered with Twilight, post pro Affinity Photo, cheers

Reminds me of Saw movie. Were the god rays added post-pro?

[tuna1957]

Thanks Rich. I did the light rays in Affinity. Something I haven’t done much of. Had to take some wild ass guessing due to the light source being pretty far out of camera view.

[Rich O Brien]

You did a great job with those god rays. For me there direction seems a little off but I can't explain why. Just a feeling.

If you could add dust particles in post it would be really nice! Overall its great. Really gritty. Kinda Walking Dead vibes.

[tuna1957]

Rich, your feeling about the rays being a little off coincides with mine. I think the angle of the rays needed to be a little more horizontal if that makes sense. The light source is through a set of double doors down a short hall to the left. Agree with your comments on “dust particles”, haven’t really figured that out yet

The second image is the one.

Excellent!

[tuna1957]

Thanks Bryan. Posting up a new image. Got me some dust particles floating around . Slowly wrapping my head around Affinity Photo. Emphasis on the slowly

Finding I can make myself crazy doing this “dust” thing. Another image, reworked the dust…. Need to click on the image to best see what’s happening

I found that tutorial kind ropey but the tips for post-processing were helpful. I attemtpted my own using your render to see what rabbit hole I ended up going down...

[Rich O Brien]

If you feed DALL-E AI your render it generates this...

...which is fascinating.

[tuna1957]

Like yours a bit better Rich. Hard to decide how big to make the “dust dots” and just how much coverage. Reworked the light rays in my last two tries. Think I would have been better leaving them as is. I can see this sucking me deep down that rabbit hole.

[tuna1957]

I think I’m going to quit chasing the rabbit now. Added dust to the more dramatic image. Think I’ll stop now
