Liminal Spaces

Backrooms / Liminal Spaces

Liminal Spaces are spaces that give you a weird uncomfortable feeling, most of the time. I dug into learning how I could make art that gave different emotions when learning about Liminal spaces.

Backrooms are a popular form of liminal spaces, so I made a render of a 'backrooms' scene.

Color and Lighting

Color and lighting are extremely impactful on the feeling of a render...

Color and Lighting 2

Deep blues with heavy contrast? Likely going to feel dark, alone, disconnected...

Color and Lighting 3

Bright aquas, whites, and lots of bounced fill light? Now the scene feels calm, warm, and welcoming.

Retro Lighting

This scene was more to play with the 'retro' feel that you get when lighting primarily consists of reds, purples, and blues.
