THE PLAYGROUND

A SITELESS DREAMLAND FOR KIDS

For this tutorial, I chose to emphasize the importance of post-production. We'll start with a very simple Rhino base, collage some textures together and then bring the image to life with a few post-production tricks!

1 | BASE IMAGE:

RGB Rendering

Shadows

Material ID

Render ID

 

2 | WORKFLOW TIPS

A | SKY AND BACKGROUND TEXTURe

Be mindful of which sky you choose to use. In this case, it takes over 50% of the image so choosing the right sky was extremely important.

 

 

B | LANDSCAPE

Here is where we define the scale of the scene by adding trees and texture. Adding a few pink trees to the right side of the image helps balance the overall composition.

 

C | Entourage

To keep the mystery of the scale of this place, I chose to add only kids and no adults for the entourage.

 

D | Post - Production

Watch the Video Tutorial to see the full post-production workflow! The smaller dinosaur wasn't helping the image, so I decided to switch it out for a giant dinosaur toy!

 

Here is a collection of some of the images I used to get inspired from. Check it out on Pinterest! *
