Doing this for an online competition. Funny thing is, the night before i saw the competition announcement i was planning to start something from the same movie!

Anyway, here's the WIP so far. I know the daylight image is technically incorrect as it is supposed to be on the moon with no atmosphere and hence no blue sky - but it could be a 'behind the scene' from the movie set!

Do share your feedback and suggestion. I'm a bit disappointed by lack of glare or lens flare from inside octane and have to fake that in photoshop.

Awaiting feedback.

Thanks

Anuraag

It's been years since I last saw the movie, but I immediately recognized the scene. Looks pretty cool!

ah! I was thinking of this very scene for Ronen Bekerman's Mies van der Rohe competition!

think you need a few rounded corners on the man made stuff maybe?

and then, aren't the lights meant to be red...?

tricky the daylit version, would one (very big and very far away!) emitter and a black environment do it?

I suppose having a pin sized emitter but very powerful would work, but then the shadows wouldn't be parallel..

fun though!

very good start but you have missed the backlight effect, i suggest to decrease a lot the power of emitters behind the camera :roll:

Here's an update. Did major rework on the ground. Minor tweaks to the props and the suits of the astronauts.
Reworked the lighting - thanks Beppe for pointing out the backlight setup.

Hope it looks much better now.

Feel free to suggest improvements or criticize.

Thanks

wow, great improvement :)
a bit less of specular and diffusion and a bit more of roughness for the yellow walls and you are there ;)
great work and citation, my compliments.
ciao beppe
