Post Apocalyptic City Ruins

[stayinwonderland]

Here's an image I did a while ago. I wanted to upload a larger res version with a clay render to show more detail...

See attached for high res.

Created in 3ds max, rendered using Vray, composited in photoshop. I used Forest Pack Lite for the trees and Ivy Generator for a few other bits of foliage.

Here's a low res preview:



Here's a clay:

Also,

Here's an early test render to see if I could acheive the look I wanted...



Here's a building test render:



A step by step on one of the other buildings:



The main building half way through production:



And a wireframe:

seems to be a lot of rust on a building that doesn't appear to have much steel on the facade....Funny how that happens.

[stayinwonderland]

There's a ton of rusting metal under the facade and in the various frames around the facade.

EDIT: deleted due to inflammatory anger reflex!

This is excellent work, the amount of effort put in is clearly evident in the details

I think you should correct the moon on low res version it's so obviously pasted.
I think that Ivy doesn't look so good - there is defienietly a scale problem.
Scene has potential but it need some more work.

While I appreciate cleaning up the clutter Vel, you did delete a bunch of other people's comments that were not in question.

Oops, I'd uploaded the wrong file (regarding the moon). Amended that.

The Ivy was tricky. I replaced the single leaf texture with bunches of leaves to make it look more like a bush type texture but was never satisfied. If i'd have had a proxy ivy then I'd have been in business! But doubt such a plugin exists? Either way, all the foliage was from free plugins so really struggled.

Thanks for the feedback.

Cool, does that use proxy rather than geometry? The site doesn't say.

[barrlley]

You grow it and then proxy it if you need to.
