Environment creation with Redshift, Megascans, 3d-Coat, 3dsmax, ForestPack, WorldCreator, SpeedTree.
141In this video - I show the process of creating one of the islets that the forester owns.
This time I show the advantage of using proxy and bypassing their incompatibility with ForestPack.
I created the leaves for the tree with a different method.
I made a plasticine concept in 3dCoat - it's so much easier for me to understand the idea than to draw it.
With the render settings again, I did not bother much. To be honest - I do not like all these test renders and the search for the ideal number of samples to increase the speed. Personally for me, there is not much sense in this, because the PC is powerful enough to render the result quickly.
Thanks to the Forender farm, I rendered this picture for 30 minutes in 1920 * 2168 resolution on one GeForce 1080.
By the way, recently we were introduced by new servers with 3 1080 and 1080i. So I think I'll record a separate video with a 3-server test and the benchmark Redshift.
Also, in the video, I showed the ability to draw ready-made trees, after you make a workpiece using SpeedTree.
