Yes it is Octane and Fury 2 for particles (still in beta for Softimage/Maya). It was pretty much a test to see how largescale geometry Octane could handle, and if using one texture for everything was a good idea or a bad one. I ran into alot of precision problems with Octane when the model got too big, and triangle/waveform patterns started to arrise. Unfortunately Octane still crashes after every frame I rendered on my new 670 cards (also a test in production LOL), so I ended up using a mouse recorder to get frames out the door..
Im doing sponsor stuff now for X factor, so I will post a new animation next week, with more Octane renders and other use for the buildings
I didnt have time to do a proper upload to vimeo..
.. Sure here is a 2K version of the texture.. I used it as a transparent .png so I could use it both for diffuse and opacitymap. As you'll see I still have about 40% left of the overall texture space. We didnt know how many individual buildings we could manage to model, so its a collection of buildings we can still built upon for future use. My guess is that I can muster about 20 more buildings into that texture.
