Artist's Comment
About Me:
My name is Bernardo Iraci. I come from Livorno – Italy, but I actually live in Warsaw. I came here about 5 years ago, and that's when I got my first work as a 3D generalist. Since then I worked in several studios on commercials, feature films and cartoon series for kids. About 5 months ago, I started working as a full-time freelance.
I really love every aspects of the production pipeline, including story telling, composition, editing and all the aspects related to the creation of a story. For this reason I still am a generalist.
About "Roof Drink:"
This project started as a break between commercial projects. I took great inspiration from an image by Bertrand Benoit. I really advice to have a look at his work, they are great examples of realistic rendering, great use of composition and photographic techniques.
The emboss on the glass was obtained using an image I found on the internet, used to drive bump and roughness. All the details on the metal and glass are also obtained with textures. At this website http://dgruwier.dk/ you can find a great set of dirt maps, which is what I used to drive the roughness of the reflections on the shaders.
Then I spent some time adjusting the lighting which is a combination of HDRI and quite a lot of area lights. I tried to put nice highlights in the right places to push the quality of the lighting.
Finally the renders were post-processed in Blender, where I color-corrected them and added some photographic effect as depth of field, bloom, lens aberration and distortion and so on.
