No geometry here, just converted from voxels directly to points. Would have gone back to voxels, but didn’t need to, I was getting good point-to-pixel ratios, and I was using env map reflections and an omni.
Everything done in Krakatoa, including the bluish highlight, which is just an unlit transformed PRTLoader with a lookat to the camera.
It uses Phong for the main part of the colon; Isotropic, H-G, and Schlick for the glowing parts; the highlight is unlit.
The final used for the site has some filtering and color grading going on in Fusion, but this is a more “pure” render, very hands off.
The chameleon has normals, but I only used those for the environment mapped reflection, not the actual color. In fact, the chameleon colors (other than the environment map) was nothing more than a 1D LUT.
It’s set to look at the camera so it stays the same shape and always points the same way. It’s supposed to look like a 2D graphic element, but be properly occluded by the colon, so you get a good sense of depth.
(using QT ver. 7.5.5), didn’t think I’d ever be excited to see a colon in action:)
