Hi,

Still playing with my last scene, I changed several things mainly the grass. This time I made some renderings using pathtracing. I also used a more redish overal tone. The rendering time varies from 30min to 3h in 1300 px. Lighting is hdr.

Very nice. How many polygones this scene is? How many polygons is the grass count? And what about the grass base, is it a map or a model?

Thanks Hmk,

There are about 2.4 millions polygones. The grass is made with a plane base on a mesh emitting about 16000 paricles corresponding to this plane. I use an opacity map for the grass, this is great to get a overal good result with few polys but the calculated views are conditioned by the grass mesh direction, so it limit a litle bit the navigation with Octane.

so good!
have a way to go before I'm at your level
all this talk about particles, do me a little uncomfortable
some advice on software?, which you use?
oh lord I really need those particles

I rather liked more the previous shots (not from a technical view, of course this are just as awesome as the previous ones), but that's just me, they were darker, which, imho, went along better with this kind of architecture.
@Henrik, the clip grass you can do it with any soft you like, Enrico used particles, but you can just use some type of random copy of a plane with as many instances as needed. In this case if he used 16000 planes, that would be 32000 triangles, which is not much (hey a single tree could be that much just to look good) and the result is a nice fluffy grass field.

very nice renders..especially the grass .. hope to get my hands faster with octane

I just added a higher res version with more trees in the background.

Hi enricocerica, first of all: your exteriors are getting more realistic every time, i'm learning a lot of you, thx!
At the moment I'm trying to make a realistic a carpet with Pflow myself.
The particles are a group of 4 "hairs" wich are themselves made from 4 planes, so the group is 16 planes in total.
I've instanced the group elements 200000 times,so i have about 3.2 million polygons for the carpet.
To make them exportable i made a mesh of them via the "mesher"
At the moment of rendering Octane has no problems loading the scene but it seems that exporting from MAX is a big problem...The scene exports in about 40 min.
Exporting texture coordinates seems to be the big issue.
Do you have any knowledge about how I could shorten the export times?

Thx Mateuet

Very, very nice, concrete and nature are two of my favourite topics, but hey, they've always told me I'm a brutalist, not that I'm concious of it, neither I care, but I do love Tange, Ando, Carvajal and the like.
IMHO what this building needs is rain, and clouds and a dark weather, that Blade Runner feeling in his (actually Wright's) house.

Yeah, I'm also a concrete lover
The more I look that scene and the more I agree with you, I see it at top of a high cliff over an agitated sea with dark and deep clouds and a very contrasted light, will inivestigate ...
