“Making of Tiger ZOO ” by Massimo Righi
Camera Setting and Lighting
To setup the scene I created a camera and I enabled the depth of field. To further explain how I managed the depth of field : I made a “Distance tool” placing one locator in the point of focus on the model (in this case was the point of the tiger nose), and the other in the Camera lens. I than parented the locator to the camera therefore that, every time I moved the Camera the dimensional value also changed and I had the exact value to insert in the ‘Focus Distance” field. Than I played with the F-Stop and Focus Region Scale till I found a DOF result I liked
For lighing the scene I used an HDRI probe and tree PoinLights. I enabled one of them to RayTrace the Shadows and increasing the ‘Light Radius’ to 3000 and the’ Shadows Ray’ to 5 in order to soften them.
Rendering
For the Mental Ray rendering settings, I used the Gauss filter with Min =1 Max =3 Sample Levels
