"CR0FT 4" Release (Patreon)

Hey all! After a bit more of a delay than I'd hoped for, the Lara render is finally finished! I hope you enjoy it :)

I learned and applied a few new techniques to this render. In particular, the dress and hair are both done using physics simulations instead of being posed/sculpted by hand. Additionally, I exported the render from Blender into DaVinci Resolve using a different file format compared to what I've been using up until now, which allowed me to achieve a really nice post-processing result. I would've made the switch sooner, but Resolve is not compatible "out of the box" with the alternate file format I used, and so I had to spend time learning how to configure things on Resolve's end for file compatibility. I'm always striving to learn and grow as an artist and find ways to improve the quality of my content. Unfortunately, time spent learning is time not spent making content, and so I genuinely appreciate your patience and support <3

Also, the overall render time on this is not too bad, so I will probably render out several car color variants before moving on to the next project. Right now the colors I'm thinking of would be the Huracan EVO's signature orange, plus maybe red, silver, purple, and lime green. Not sure exactly, but the variants will be extremely quick and simple to make now that all the work is done and in place — I simply have to adjust the color on the car's paint and then render :)

As usual, the renders embedded in this post are the downscaled 4K variants due to file size limitations; you can download the native 8K variants from the MEGA archive!
