Here’s my take on this scene
Did it in a day, it was my first test ever on Arnold, so I still have a lot of noise, but still I was able to get the feel I wanted out of it

Hope you like it, comments and critics are welcome :thumbsup:

#103

Hey guys,

Here my new version of my picture.

It’s almost my final picture and i wait your opinions, critics and tips for improving my work for the last time.

Good luck for the last week and enjoy !

Following jojo’s advice, I have tried creating contrast via lightning whilst keeping the composition unified. Here is the final direction. A couple of things to tweak and add, then I can scream done. Its been fun all the way. Thanks once again jojo.

#106

First try with modo 701 - mostly basic materials, preset and default sun/sky lighting.
modo 601 choked on this scene but 701 handles the 270mb .obj file much better, plus - is it possible ??? - no poly flipping/repair necessary - has the terrible Mayan obj file format finally been tamed :buttrock:

Did discover that 12GB RAM is a bit on the short side for this scene though…

Anyways, 32 min render… fur for grass and displacement on rock, these things take time…
(btw the few black plants are some that have not been assigned new materials yet…)

Here is my final render on this. Maya with mental ray,
Thanks for the opportunity to be a part of this. What can I say - its been fun all through

The following links point to incorrect file names:


http://forumleaders.s3.amazonaws.com/challenges/lighting/31-EnchantedForest_HighRes_MAX.zip
http://forumleaders.s3.amazonaws.com/challenges/lighting/31-EnchantedForest_HighRes_MB.zip

Should be:


http://forumleaders.s3.amazonaws.com/challenges/lighting/31-EnchantedForest_MAX.zip
http://forumleaders.s3.amazonaws.com/challenges/lighting/31-EnchantedForest_MB.zip

This needs to be fixed in both of these threads:
