Kaappari Making-of Mikko Lahti  April 1, 2015 I created semiautomatic landscaping system for this which uses national land survey data. you can get Heightmaps and matching IR/photo data tiles from their database.(6km x 6km tiles)  Those IR maps were then processed to extract RGB mask of forest areas, water areas and flat areas. Then some ICE scattering and shader building using those rgb maps as a good starting point. Other responsibilities were some volumetric stuff, modeling the airplane and lighting/rendering almost all of the ~60 shots. Softimage, Arnold and Mental Ray was used. https://vimeo.com/123890727
