Finished playing with my Talented balls

Well I got home last night, made dinner for my girls (Slaved over the counter at Burger King to order them a top notch dinner), and settled down at my desk to realize what a dumb ass I am… You see there is this little point light hiding at the top of my stage just behind the curtains set to .4 just to add a little back lighting to my scene. Well somewhere along the way I enabled shadows on it, and although the light is not very noticeable by itself, but add to that a nice reflective floor and curtains that open and close and it becomes very noticeable. As a matter of fact it was down right distracting. Ahh well.. disabled the shadow and re-rendered last night and checked it before I went off to work and it looks great. Yeah, I get to turn it in tonight.

So I started playing around with the color wheel last night and I am pretty sure that I got the logic down for the actual color wheel part of it, but figuring out how to lay it all out for the outer rings is going to take some more research. I think I have an idea, but I will have to go back and watch a couple of the architecture videos again.

Other than that it is raining like crazy here in South Florida, so it will probably be a slow day at work, so I hopefully I will be able to crack open some of the abduction VTMs :)

Lessons learned:

Well I tried to figure out how to turn this into a lesson learned, but it is really something that was apparent only during motion; stills looked great. Guess in the future I would have to do low quality renders maybe every 10 frames or so and stuff like that might stick out.
