Artworks

This project was inspired by the 70s, a time for billiards to thrive in the lounge and bar. Hustlers share drinks, puff smoke, and laugh about the good ol’ days. This scene depicts a freshly racked set, drinks at the ready and half-smoked cigarettes in the ash tray.

This scene required a lot of working around with the noise. As I wanted a very smokey feel, I used volumetric lighting scene-wide. This means that the scene render time was exponentially higher. To battle this, I used the new denoiser feature in Blender 2.81. This allowed me to use less samples for a similar quality, albeit slightly smudgy. I feel that the effect added to the environment I wanted, though.
