Finally... spooky day

My Silent Hill f technical art study is FINISHED!
Making the environment transform around the player as they enter the overworld was a fun challenge!

Not much in terms of exciting updates these days, I've just been slowly grinding minor visual improvements. This week I've mostly focused on the character model, eyebrows, uniform, skin texture, tiny hairs on her cheeks and what not, tiny things that bothered me a little (left is old, right is new)

This weekend's exciting progress: spent a day and a half just making this shadow less noisy for this one shot.
Yet another situation where each shadow method/setting has its pros and cons so I had to brute force the quality a little bit

I was in rendering purgatory bc tell me how it took me THREE DAYS just to fix this small artefact around her hair.
Every single fix I tried had its own issue until I just said heck it, made 1 render without character, 1 render with her and manually masked the problematic areas just for this scene

Still working my project showcase so enjoy some environments renders

Unfortunately, you are right 😔
Except I lied, I'm adding light rather than removing it haha

(btw I highly recommend NVIDIA ICAT for quick comparisons, it saves me a lot of time instead of setting up image or video editing software to quickly check how I feel about my changes)
