Using Blender to create vector drawing quality images for use in infographics was one of my recent goals. Here’s the initial result. I’ve used toon shaders, and edge drawing (post processing tab under render settings) to achieve a drawing-like quality. Key is the lighting. For the key light (upper left) I’ve left the specular component on. However, the main fill light (directly behind the camera) has specular turned off to give flat-looking objects. Idea is to keep the overal contrast low and avoid ‘realistic’ highlights. A test with orthographic camera was also successful, and I’ll be posting more images during the next few days.
Zlatibor Infographics
Some of you might have caught it, but I was on vacation for past 2 weeks, and spent some time on Zlatibor. The thing I was most impressed with is the clean mountain air. So, after 2 weeks, I’ve almost forgotten how to operate the mouse and pen, as well as type on keyboards. I thought I’d introduce you to Zlatibor, and also get back into shape doing my thing.
It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything here. Not that I was lazy or anything. Most people who follow my work have seen it, but for those of you who missed it, here it is. This is infographics about Internet, geared towards Serbian-speaking folks. I’ve decided to share some of my work with the local folks for a change.
Again, infographics for Serbian-speaking people. This time it’s about infographics. Serbian infographics scene is quite a bit behind other countries, so I thought I’d do a piece that would shed some light on what infographics are supposed to be, what they should look like, and what the purpose of making them is to begin with. I know it’s not much, but I hope it still helps someone.
