Park Ranger Station in winter
Posted: Wed Mar 26, 2014 1:36 pm
Hi, These days I worked again on the winter scene I started two years ago before instances. Now, we have instances and animation, and this scene comes to life. It is still a WIP, but as it may take much time before being considered as finished (it is never in fact), I show it here.
I am still working on Elisabeth Warfield character, and she should be ready for animation in Octane in a not too far future, and she could be back in action in this landscape.
I am still not happy of some effects, like the falling snow on the tree. A lot of rotoscoping for the smoke around objects... Now I know what people do in hell : they do rotoscoping for ever in Particle Illusion on a slow computer !

Please watch it in HD if you can. I will try to upload a better quality video for the SD version.
EDIT : I have just added a raven in the shot. I should have done the compositing in Blender. I did it in Magix, and the alpha blending is not perfect. Premultiplied alpha seems to not be handled well in Magix.
