Core ARC Contest: Digital Diorama
Posted by Karen
Hey everyone! Next up on the Core ARC Contest, we’ve got a particularly interesting couple of submission. One might even say the creator was thinking…. outside the box (I’m so sorry).
Instead of doing a traditional diorama, Sam Cantwell created a digital version. Check it out!
This is a quick replication of the scene where Rojer is alone in the pitch black, and has nothing but his fiddle and his bloody fingers to keep him company until the sun rises – when I first read this scene, it hit me hard and was the only time (at that point) that I had ever paused reading to reflect how fucking epic that moment was. Thank you.
These are absolutely gorgeous. Click on the images to see them at their full size.
Sam also sent in a cheat-sheet on how he got those awesome moonlit shadows:
I’ve also attached a BTS photo that shows different angles with the moonlight and camera in case you’re interested. I suspended half a dozen trees midair to achieve the shadowed result in the final render.
