Turned out pretty cool, and by that I mean I used Daylight 6500k diffused through some white cloth, which gave a nice cool light. Lighting is fairly balanced which makes for soft area shadows and a nice global illumination. Which is going to be really nice for making tilable images as textures for 3d, as long as it fits in the box!  I feel sorta guilty I made one for myself before I made one for my sister, but hey now I have some practice! By the way you can check her site out at… http://wallflowerwonderland.com/ :)


Looks like I might have to look into doing something about the interior for reflective objects, and I’m sure I’ll end up wanting to experiment with some gels too.

Worked better then I thought it would in the snow but is gonna take some practice since you can’t see what your focus is exactly with a filter. Is also hard to visualize what is going to look like after a gray scale conversion. My IR filter seems to let in some of the visible red light even though it’s rated at a 720nm cutoff.

But I was able to catch a few!
