Crowded Spheres

A collection of sliced hemispheres were compounded into a single object, and then used as dummy objects in a  3D crowd simulation. This is a snapshot, involving an HDRI, skylight as well as a variety of camera effects. Post-production carried out in Oloneo PhotoEngine.

Large Scale Greeble

Cityscape build and lighting set up described below (scene was also used for blog banner):









To create the cityscape I created a ground plane a few kilometers squared, with a high mesh density. I then applied the greeble script until I had the look I desired. In all cases I used an MR lighting set up, except for the below images. For these views I reassigned a standard material to the city and added a simple skylight with Light Tracer enabled and rendered using the default Scanline Renderer.


Here I show the difference between perspective and othogonal cameras:


I feel an orthogonal camera could show more complex designs more clearly when dealing with large structures, similar to a floor plan.
