LiS - Backyard BBQ

Happy Australia Day.. Sleep in and BBQ all my plans today.

This pic was almost all done in Blender..
Getting better at final composition using compositor and color grading.
Glows and glares and color curves all used.

I did tweak some aspects in Photoshop and also added the lens flare and sun shine.
This can be done in blender but i haven't got it right yet.

This started with me extracting Chloe's house assets while watching some tv.. lol
I noticed the swing was not in the combine mesh object i extracted.. its was a separate individual object, added it in and decided to add young max and chloe playing on it. Would be a nice scene showing the house and them playing.

I then noticed the BBQ grill.. and thought to add Joyce and William and changed it to a BBQ scene.
Added fire and smoke effect on the BBQ. The settings for these are not very friendly, tweaked until i got something okish.

Noticed the ground was a bit boring with the odd blade of grass sticking out... so decided to use particle hair to make some grass covering the ground. Andrew Price has a awesome tutorial on his youtube channel BlenderGuru

Added Bongo kitty a pose-able cat model from blender swap, changed texture color to be more white.
Added particle hair and textured the hair to be white with random noise generating gray areas.
It turned out so so.. but good enough for my purpose. 

At first i used a hdri for the sky, nice color and lighting but not enough detail in the sky, so kept the light from the hdri but imported a sunet picture as a plane from pixabay. Resized and fit and gave it an emision.
Looked better and i could control it in compositor using emit render pass.

I could of left the sky area transparent and added the background sunset pic with Photoshop but really wanted the glow effect it produced on the background house roof.
