just out of interest, did you bake the AO into the tree assets (looking at the demo, it seems there's no effect between the trees and the ground)
if so how was this accomplished? _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Steven Caron Sent: 22 November 2013 18:35 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Whiskeytree Athens tech demo thanks for the kind words everyone! i will pass along the praises... some extra info for those interested... -we used arnold 3.x to render this -because of how we partitioned the work out, and how sitoa exports ICE instances we had to come up with a way to make sure there was no redundant instance masters. we created a system to do that. we then collaborated with solid angle to make this a first party feature. "auto instancing of procedurals".. you're welcome! ;P -memory consumption would be drastically lower in arnold 4.x -this was the basis for the workflow we used on elysium, of course for more shots and a lot more detail... remember we rendered over 5 trillion triangles for elysium. -not everything was hand placed, we had some more ICE tools for automatically aligning and placing buildings. steven On Fri, Nov 22, 2013 at 9:37 AM, Juhani Karlsson <[email protected]> wrote: Tron legacy?
