Hi!!

Wow, this looks just great! I like the warm lighting and the rich detail of the scene -what renderer did you use for it? I never dared to use MR on such huge amounts of instances ;)

best,
oliver

well, we are using Arnold here at studio...

[shadow_ex_]

looks fantanstic well done

[milanvasek]

some progress here... still have to work on some details in foreground, road, materials of car etc... and probably more interesting lighting too

[Chris_TC]

This looks mighty impressive!

[Ramon]

tell render time for shots please

[Rork]

That's an impressive update from your first 'gray' renders
Is it all textured geo, or are there procedurals as well for texturing?
The ICE compounds, are those tweaked versions or clean setups?

And don't forget to post back to the sitoa list as well, including some more scene related info ;-)

this looks AWESOME!!! the scattering of dirt and stones and grass is perfct
reminds me of that work from that guy Marek Denko

This is all very nice Milan. You have captured the northern lighting and atmosphere of the arctic.

Arnold is very good with large amounts of scattered rocks, vegatation and displacement. You definately have the feel of natural chaos and variation in the landscape.

Now you need a wizard driving the car.

Thanks guys.

render time is still around 30 minutes at the office with proper workstation

most of the stuff is textured geometry, but i use color from pointclouds to add some variety... and rocks have some procedural displacement (several cell scalar and fractal scalar nodes) mixed with texture...

ICE is really amazing for scattering stuff. I made quite a few compounds, but they are mostly very simple tools, nothing fancy. but they allow me to control the look really well i will share them later because they can help some people i guess, at least people who haven't had time to look into ICE yet

hey Sam yeah, Arnold and ICE is amazing combination. i'm looking forward to go back to my usual stuff with wizards, witches etc. but this one will be just a car in the middle of nowhere without any driver

hey guys. i made quick video capture using my compounds for scattering. you can see it and download them from my blog:

oh cool! you are great man, thanks for this!

[Rork]

Great render again!!

And kudos for sharing the compounds, will have fun dissecting them

[milanvasek]

little update of camera, lighting, some small details...
now i will concentrate on the road and car

[renisancex]

Awesome ......this is just beautiful stuff

That is simply brilliant, most awesome scatter tool i've seen so far, thanks for sharing!
Great work with the environment btw, cant wait to see it finished!

milanvasek, you just won the interwebs

Can I ask what kind of rendertimes you are dealing with?
