Description
Here's another "MojoSpace" picture.
I was playing with Dmytry Lavrov's volumetric plugin for MojoWorld which got me wondering about using the volumetrics in trueSpace for landscape type pics - here's the result
The background sky is made in MojoWorld using the aforementioned volumetric plugin. The terrain objects and textures where also made using MojoWorld and imported into the model side of tS 7.51. All the models (apart from the terrains) were built in tS 7.51.
Usually I would do the lighting last in my pictures but here I wanted a misty sunset type picture with volumetric shadows cast by the landscape so after importing the MW terrains the next step was setting up lighting to match the background MW render. An array of 9 spotlights, some with simple volumetrics and some without, was positioned well back into the scene to create the low angled sunshine and an IBL was used for overall ambient light.
The pic felt a little empty and lacked any sort of scale cues so I built the city and bridges and the aircraft from scratch and everything was rendered together using the LightWorks renderer in tS 7.51.
A few extra light flares and sun glow was added in post process using the GIMP and then the copyright notice was added with trueSpace - resizing and .JPG conversion done with Irfanview.
Please feel free to leave a comment or two - I'm always interested to know what people think of my work.
Thanks
