Today’s effort was largely a repeat of yesterday’s efforts, but with the addition of 75,000 more marbles. Well, they also turned green as well. And really, the lesson I learned most from this exercise wasn’t the limit of my computer (this render only took 1:42:00), it was colors.
Blue takes a lot more light energy to light up, whereas green is inherently far brighter. Even in this scene, after doing a straight color conversion from blue to green, the greens were way way too bright. Even when I toned them down, they were still a little blown out and neon-ish. So, I went back to tried and true blue.
Anyway, as usual, the tutorial and project files to follow.
