End of Summer Breakdown
A few turntables and different ideas I was playing with whilst working on this project, some of the models here are on sale on my store and on Fab and CGTrader, check them out! Artstation seems to be scrambling the order of the images, so apologies.
A 4K still from the final render. I did everything from scratch but the white flowers and some of the dead trees.
composition and mood exploration prior to unreal. SH for scale.
A trimmed shot for the sake of fitting the upload limit. I went for subtle animation as otherwise everything was just unnaturally wobbling.
Some of my reference I captured cycling between Glasgow and Falkirk/Loch Lomond.
An early water test before adding the foam and more goodies. Ray tracing running at a stable ish 45 FPS
Lots of effort went into the grasses and the water, with exception of the daisies I made the rest, from cattails and different gunk under water to nettles. I was considering volumetrics for under water rotting stuff, but that was an overkill.
Turntable of the church asset. Available on my store and on Fab!
Some of the Speedtree trees I made for the project.
Leaf lookdev. The shader is quite expensive as the leaves have subtle animation, their bottom sides are different from the top, and they are transluscent.
A little scan I made a few years ago and it actually was good enough to be used as a background tree after decimation.
