Hello everyone!
In this post, I'd like to introduce the completed scenes from everyone who submitted their materials for the "Creating Various Scenes with Shoost" project that I announced in my previous article.
All scenes were created using only the features available in Shoost v0.16.1.
Scene Examples

The overall scene was quite dark, so to clarify the light source, I adjusted it with the image of around evening time with the sun behind them.

The brightness of the ground was too strong and it was difficult to draw attention to the character, so I adjusted the color tone and balanced it so the character would stand out.

I adjusted it with the image of a stylish bar.

Since there was a request to make it nighttime, I adjusted the colors to create a nighttime atmosphere.

When adjusting the character to match the background, it would become blue and dark, so I adjusted it with the image of orange lighting coming from above.

I adjusted it to create an atmosphere illuminated by moonlight with no streetlights around.

I adjusted it with the image of being illuminated by a spotlight.

Since the light sources in the background were candles and a fireplace, I adjusted the character with the image of being illuminated by the soft light from the fireplace.

I adjusted it to create a soft, fluffy atmosphere to match the cute room.

I adjusted it to create bright lighting, imagining a music live stage.
About Creating These Scenes
For this scene creation project, I made good use of the gradient feature that was added in Shoost v0.16.0. By combining shadow color adjustments and gradient effects, I was able to add dimensionality and make fine color adjustments.
As I created various scenes, I started to see the important points in screen composition. For example, the positioning of the background and characters, color matching, lighting balance, and so on.
Writing about these topics would make this article too long, so I'll explain them in detail in a separate article!
I had a lot of fun creating these scenes, so if there's interest, I'd like to do this again.
Thank you so much to everyone who submitted their materials!
