This is an image from the first shot of the movie. This is the only shot in the movie with quite a lot of overpainting done in Photoshop. Since only the first two buildings on the right are actually shown from different angle later in the movie I decided that only those two buildings will get full texture work done in 3d. For the most parts of other buildings I just did a light pass with simple shaders (no textures) and then painted those details in Photoshop.
Nice work Rok! Just a thought as the street looks really nice, although the buildings in the background come across as abit flat due to the overpainting. Perhaps with use of some dof the buildings would come across as less flat since the blur emphatizes the foreground. Keep up the good job.

Heya Rok!
Se en hud render! Woohooo! Tole bo res mega. Mam en predlog glede lightinga – mislim da bi bilo dobro, da das eno luc nad vhod stavbe ali kaj podobnega, da bo karakter bolj viden in da bo na njem teza kompozicije. Trenutno mi pogled uhaja vzolz ulice, ker so svetilke najsvetlejsi del image-a. Mogoce bi lahko tudi nebo malenkost bolj posvetlil, da bi ful dobre silhuete streh v ozadju prisle bolj do izraza. S tem bi dobil se dodatno globino.
Ej, kapo dol! Tole bo res ultra hudo! Definitivno naslednji mega short, ki bo bo krasil frontpage cgTalka!
Komaj cakam da bo fertik!

Thanks guys!
Mathias:
Yeah, the buildings in the background still need a bit of work on, especially defocus part. I actually have to make another pass at this shot to tweak things right. Thanks!
Ales:
Hvala za komentar in idejo za lucjo nad vhodom. Malo sem se hotel izognit nekaksnim specificnim focusom, tako da bi izgledalo bolj ‘samo se ena stavba’, ampak bom vhod najbrz vseeno se malo bolj poudaril. Hvala za idejo!

Hey Rok, this is looking really really good my friend. It must be really hard to stay focus on your short after soooo many month! I have a slight comment looking at this still. The character will be in complete darkness. I am worried that the birghtness of the lights at the back will distract from him. Can’t you find a way to cheat it and get some sort of lighting on him?
I am so looking forward to seeing it finished.

Hey Olive!
Yeah, it’s been quite a while but it’s getting there, most probably within a month.
Ales also mentioned the same problem with the character and darkness so I guess getting two pointers at the same thing I’ll have to take another look. I was already thinking of doing something there after Ales pointed about the problem.
But then again, this picture might be a bit wrong reference now that I think of it. In the movie the character comes from light to dark, so it’s not so confusing as this still image dictates.
I might post the whole shot to see what I mean.
Thanks!
