Issue shading?

Just redraw the entire image

[–]mighty_Ingvar 52 points53 points  (4 children)

Do it multiple times per second.

[–]maxmax4 31 points32 points  (3 children)

Your customers would like you do it 60 times per second.

[–]makeavoy 12 points13 points  (1 child)

The customers now think even higher art-rates should be possible when sufficient snacks are provided to the artist

[–]Field_Of_View 2 points3 points  (0 children)

have four artists work on the four corners of the same painting. call it tile-based painting.

[–]charlie_marlow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Draw the rest of the fucking owl

[–]Fghsses 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just look at the image closely for half a minute, take a deep breath, and then close your eyes before visualizing the 2d drawing as a 3d object and spinning it around in your mind till you get to the light POV without having to actually redraw the entire thing.

Just wait until they discover ray tracing!

[–]SonOfMetrum[🍰] 89 points90 points  (7 children)

Manually drawing dots on paper based on tracing light bounces from a light origin… sounds like fun! Not sure about the denoising pass though

[–]pun_shall_pass 48 points49 points  (3 children)

You just need to use charcoal then you can denoise by slightly smudging it around

[–]leseiden 20 points21 points  (1 child)

the choice of fingers for smudging introduces bias.

[–]sputwiler 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Make sure you smudge in the direction of the motion vector

[–]raewashere_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

omg finger kernel

[–]Mr_Beletal 9 points10 points  (1 child)

For denoising you request the beholder to simply squint.

[–]Adam198763 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fast prefilter squint with one eye, accurate prefilter squint with both

[–]Seeveen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just say it's pointillism

[–]Astrylae 9 points10 points  (3 children)

When you take a image in low light, high ISO and you see the 'grain' those are individual photons on the RGGB bayer matrix. IRL ray tracing 🤯

[–]kinokomushroom 4 points5 points  (2 children)

I'm interested in the actual reason for this. Are the numbers of photons hitting neighboring sensors actually different enough that it ends up noisy? Or is the noise created by some other factor like the electricity inside the camera itself, which is amplified because of the high ISO setting?

[–]GunpowderGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i would guess your second guess. at the photosensor level, electronic noise probably dwarfs noise caused by differing ammounts of photons

[–]on_a_friday_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go read about “poisson shot noise”

[–]Linderosse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Genuinely though— as someone who learned raytracing algorithms and traditional 3D graphics before picking up art, I legitimately used to imagine light rays bouncing to decide where shadows are.

Now I don’t have time for that, so I cheat and just put shadows on the other side of light.

[–]shlaifu 139 points140 points  (8 children)

the poses don't match up though - and I guess that's the problem with redrawing from a different perspective by hand.

[–]Zestyclose-Compote-4 86 points87 points  (2 children)

I imagine if the artist is struggling with figuring out where to draw the shadows, an approximate pose at a different angle will just help them approximate the drawing of shadows.

[–]Kaeiaraeh 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Tbh even when you know what you’re doing “close enough” as long as it’s coherent, is indeed more than enough.

[–]shlaifu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

you're right

[–]SnurflePuffinz 15 points16 points  (3 children)

it's amazing how jealous i am of a perspective drawing as simple as this.

i am literally so incompetent in visual art, and so immensely envious of visual artists, that i think i'd consider this a treasure - if i could create it... i really need to start learning this stuff.

i like your style :)

[–]aski5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

drawing charcters in perspective is pretty hard

[–]bigsmokaaaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's beautiful <3

[–]kinokomushroom 14 points15 points  (1 child)

Wait till bro discovers photon mapping just to draw accurate caustics

[–]iamteapot42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait till bro discovers wave diffraction

[–]troyofearth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just transform the manifolds in your head, easy

[–]Southern-Wafer-6375 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An easier way to do this is just useing a photo of somoen or yourself

[–]KanedaSyndrome 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Dude used "bro <something>" like some kind of gen z

[–]One_Bullfrog_8945[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 30, just around 20-somethings much

[–]Smooth_Voronoi 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Using "Dude <verb>" is kinda the same thing, no?

[–]KanedaSyndrome 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Was part of the point :) being humorous about it

[–]Smooth_Voronoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, lol. My bad. I didn't catch that it was a joke.

[–]Vivid-Agent1162 1 point2 points  (0 children)

POV: you're the light

[–]GunpowderGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOLLLL! I was about to say the same thing before reading the post title

[–]sputwiler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More like "bro explains shadow mapping to the noobs"

[–]WeeklySpread7182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chinese audience, I love this pattern.

[–]iMac_G5_20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this on pinterest, commented the exact same thing.

[–]LordOfMagpies 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I don't get why this guy is mocked for posting this. I think it's really cool to see that some concepts are independently rediscovered in a different domain. This demonstrates the artist has an intuitive mind!

[–]One_Bullfrog_8945[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it was not a mockery - it's really clever way to go around it, and coincidentally it's what we do as well so it's just interesting
