Here’s a heat shimmer effect worth showing off, the new version of Pointy pulling a face and a much brighter look than before thanks to a rough colour grade. I’m loving that blazing burnt orange which settles back to a hazy purple almost reminiscent of Maurice Noble. The desert’s still maybe too barren and flat but I’m liking this a lot.

I’m not sure about the rest of you but I feel like this composite could be an actual still frame from an actual CG animated film. Not some lush Pixar film obviously, something kind of low budget, but a legit actual film nonetheless. So it’s a total headspin to think it came out of me.

Now I see why Grant was encouraging me to take something to composite. The project is suddenly concrete in a way it wasn’t yesterday. That’s kind of awesome. 🙂

Edit: Added the ungraded version of the render and a comparison which shows both the graded and ungraded version in one image. This is why we grade things.

What do you think of the grade? Too bright? 🙂
