Western Scene Update

Some work with compositing.   This image is the adjusted composition with the color of the render.

Basic Composition

 This image is with the generic sepia applied... Just showing this for contrast purposes

Generic Sepia applied

 I did not want to use just plain sepia.  I want color in the image as well.  I want more focus into the depth of the scene, so am bringing the color forward with a z-depth application of the sepia look.

Z-depth Sepia

 Same as above with the windows' color brought out more for contrast.

Z-Depth Sepia and Window Adjustment

May work on a bit of scratches and old photo edges.. .not sure.

Still tweaking...

but am stopping for the day and wanted to post something up.

Worked on some models and materials of the buildings.
Worked on position, lighting, and materials of cowboy and horse.

Threw together very quick comp to see how it is coming along....

Materials & Composition.

Today I am working on modifying the composition of the western scene.  I like the focal point of the cowboy, but he is getting lost in all the textures of the background.  I am considering a couple of things.

• Manipulating the models' position a bit to get better composition
• Changing some of the distant materials to be more plain and desaturated.
• Adjusting the cowboy's texture.
• Adding the cowboy as a layer instead of rendering as part of scene - enable me to adjust background easier.
