AI-enhanced test render
Sea has always been a constant presence throughout my life. I spent countless hours observing the captivating effects of light refraction, particularly how light interacts with different materials, such as water. This fascination sparked the creation of my project "Svijetlost"
The project draws inspiration from the ripple effect and the way light bends and distorts when it passes through various media like water. My goal was to capture the interplay between light and water and translate that dynamic into the context of the human body.
The project draws much of its inspiration from the photography of David Garland, whose work is defined by subtle yet powerful depictions of light and emotion. Garland’s photographs often blend reality and abstraction in a way that evokes a sense of mystery and atmospheric depth.

Experimental Process Outcome
Technical Process
Software and Tools:
Daz 3D: Avatar creation and customization.
CLO 3D: Clothing design and fabric movement simulation.
Blender: Adding special effects (lighting, textures).
Mixamo : Utilizing animations to create dynamic movement.
Defining the garment was a dynamic interaction between CLO 3D and Blender, aimed at testing the transformative effect on different models.
Experimental Process Outcome

In this part of the process, I decided on a tight-fitting, long dress with sleeves and a standing collar, as it closely mirrored the human body. The transformation effect was based on the body's basic shape. Ultimately, I concluded that, while aiming for a transformative garment, it still needed to visually represent the human form.
To create effects on the garment, I used Blender to achieve dynamic light interactions with the fabric. The material creation process was inspired by the Grease Monkey method, which details the technique for creating moving light effects that adapt to the garment's movements.
