Wow, this post is incredibly late! Its the Moving Meditations Render Challenge!
Okay, so on top of breaking my Top 100 streak for the
@_pwnisher_ challenges, I was also very busy at the time with mountains of projects and assignments in the form of projects, so only now I have the time to post this. Also gives me a great reason to give my feed a facelift! You like the pinned post tiling?
I tried something very new when creating this render. I knew from the beginning that I wanted to do a bunch of volumetric clouds, and so I decided to purposefully render at a lower sample count and resolution, and tried out something I've never tried before at the time: Upscaling. But not just any upscaling, it's Real-ESRGAN Anime Upscaling!
Not only did I get a 4K Upscaled render, but it made the entire render have this "painted" quality, something I always wanted to try before but couldn't. I enlisted the help of my friend
@n4o.xyz to write some code that would modify how Real-ESRGAN worked, so it would accept batch photo upscaling, which made this process a LOT quicker.
Anyway, sorry for being offline for a while, college is a pain and I'm going to start an internship soon so that's not gonna help things on here, but I'll try to make something when I can.
Made in Blender with Cycles.
