    ② Week 9


            Bulgari Serpenti Ring      


    Feedback from Mentors (Class 17 )
  1. Shot 1: 
    Particles are too dark (color/lighting)

  2. Shot 2: 
    Popping issue (between shot2-1 and shot2-2)
    Flickering in morphing FX particles
    Black shadow on the ring
    Motion blur issue



  3. Week 9 Task
    - Shot2 : refining particle pscale
    - breakdown



    1. Shot2 : refining pscale of particle

    I readjusted the pscale, alpha, emission and color of the particle and split the entire particle trail effect into 4 parts

    Layer 1:  Primary Particles 
    Layer 2 : Fade Particles
    Layer 3: Emission Particles
    Layer 4: Tail Particle

    Final render result (Arnold rendering)
