Jack-o-Lantern in blender


        As its Halloween I decided to make a scene in blender of pumpkin lamps. I am Indian and halloween is not part of my culture, because of that it was hard to imagine it to make it. I knew halloween through pop culture and hollywood reference. All though my process was not completely good but I am happy with the final result which come out
        As for a general start I gathered some references watched some of the youtube videos and started modeling the pumpkin and made cuts using knife tools for eyes and mouth. And used displacement modifier for making some wrinkles and scratches and making the surface uneven. After that I made some varieties of the pumpkins with proportional editing.
       After that I started to building up the scene which was firstly in my head. For environment I downloaded a grass field model form blender swap and appended it into my scene. 
        Then I sculpted the candles for some details and sculpted varieties of them. And rather than adding some more geo for making flame of the candle I used simple plane with alpha transparency and with emission material. Well I do think the high res models are kind of unnecessary but, it just went like that.    
        After the candles was done I added some more details to wall material and other materials and lighting and all the other crazy hard to figure out things and after configuring and testing, I set the render samples to 2500 and press the render button and after 2 hrs 27 min and 29 seconds the render was done. It had still some noise because of subsurface scattering and 2500 samples might have less for the scene but then I added some glow in compositor and saved the image. 
        For the finishing touches and other things to make the render pop out I imported the image in photoshop and added those touches to images and saved the image and I was done

And filament is just a circle with screw modifier.     Material was also simple but it took a while to add some dust to glass bulb and some little scratches to the cap. to create dust nodes got some kind of complicated but its done. Hope you'll like the the project and let me know how you feel about this.      Well stay tune I am going to lit the lamp and later blow it up in blender stay tuned for that follow me on social media.
