I called it a day after 6 hours of rendering....
linkUsing one of my favorite models so I have to like it.
I noticed there isn't much difference between the 2 orcs in the back middle. They have almost the same pose and appearance. Then I noticed the same thing with the orc in the front middle and back right. Id suggests something to set them apart a bit more than they are. Could possibly add some different poses, weapons, armor or morphs to really change things up.
You Are correct, I noticed it to. I figured because of DOF it would not matter much. As said, took my pc 6 hours to render. Maybe I do a Rerun
Wow a cool render with wonderful atmospheric.
Find the second image in green much better. Did it take 6 hours again?YEs, had a busy day, so made some adjustments, did quick testrender to see if everything was in place. Then set up a proper render, and went on with my day......
Darn, now I have a fairly decent pc.... WE all want that 110% LOLNice pic, nice work. Congrats @Gaver
I don't particularly like the theme, orcs and stuff, but I appreciate the effort and technical prowess you've shown in putting a great image like this together. A more crowded scene?... if the characters share identical textures they'll only be loaded once to GPU VRAM. That might lighten the load a bit.
Hi Frank.
Still contemplating on my " how do I do this" ...
At the moment I make subsets of per character, and per 2 in fighting position. Once that is done I am thinking of creating billboards( of these subscenes in different poses) to populate the scene with, maybe use instances.
Also thinking about billboards with characters an props. so I make building bloks.
Create a surrounding, set up lighting and add billboards and instances on low sub division.
Characters closer to the front will be " normal" characters with high subD
.
At least that is the plan......"At the moment I make subsets of per character, and per 2 in fighting position."
That's what I do if I know it's going to be hard to do in-scene like with a group of props or a group of characters with simulated clothing. Great minds think alike 😜.If they're going to be in fog and towards the back, you might as well render the figures by themselves and turn them into billboards. that way you can load as many characters as you want and it will not tax your system at all. 6 hours for a render is too long to wait. 🙂
There are dozens of tutorials on youtube:
Thnx Ted
I know, have used billboards before ( on an older PC) Does the trick nicely working on the separate items at the moment...
Only downside is you can not turn a board on the axis. I Know this is possible with the bought billboard items. Have to look into that still, will be an ongoing project in spare hours...
