The Dark Mushrooms
this scene is a look dev and lighting project that allowed me to develop a mood that I had in mind for a long time, mushrooms that look malefic and "alive", with a lot of fur, something very organic. The atmosphere that I wanted to achieve was magical forest, which is realistic yes but also very fantastic in concept.
The colors are very contrasted, the volume against the light makes everything more dramatic.
Rendered with Arnold in Maya, postprod in Nuke, and, of course, I worked with ACES (Academy Color Encoding Systems)!
