Description

While I'm in the mood for something different! Quite often I render multiple images of the same subject which are then combined in Photoshop. Vue Infinite has the ability to render each element (eg, diffuse, specular, ambient, etc) as a separate layer - this isn't available in Esprit but you can mimic it in separate renders. Rendering with image based lighting by definition has no speculars, which can look rather flat. I sometimes use specualr only lights, and in these images I have rendered just the speculars by turning the ambient lighting to zero so that I can add them interactively in post. But I liked the look and thought they could be interesting images in their own right - so here they are! Many thanks for looking and all the recent feedback - it's what keeps me going! Phil
