Come Play

Alright, first Belle work with real effort put into the background and details!

I started out by playing around with the lighting, making my room a fair bit more ambient than it is in real life; though, its two layered lighting is nowhere near as complex as the 8 layers used in 'Forsaken'.

Then I experimented with the hair / fur a bit, trying to add some detail to individual strands --- as bump-mapping didn't pan out --- via some pseudo-random line shading.

Also, there was some graininess left over (it seems dept blur requires a lot more passes to smooth out properly) so I partially overlaid a despeckled copy. (Maybe next time I'll just use the ol' render to a higher res and resize trick?)

On a side note... I probably need a new laptop keyboard --- I can no longer capitalize 's' via either shift or 'q' and 'z' via left shift.
