Description
"...It's marketday in the little village. People from near and far are busy getting supplies for the month and trading. In the background our knight is bargaining about a new horse with the local horse tradesman. The old draft horse he's used so far is worn out and needs more than just a small break. The knight will be off soon again, and needs a fresh and fast horse..."
Nr. 5 in the series with the knight and the boy. I'll show a closer look with the horse trading etc. where the boy will be too, right now he's playing in the stable/barn - if my humble system and Vue will allow it, that is :)
My plan is to get the Elvish theme in some of my other renders to blend with this series (been that from the start of my "Elvish trend"), well let's see :)
Complex scene here and some postwork compositing required. The crowd is mostly ecosystem instances, with some sophisticated material work to get rid of some of the cloned look.
Vue, Poser & Photoshop. Items from DAZ, C3D and myself.

Excellent work!
I could never do this it's so realistic and so much detail awesome work !5++++++++++++++++++++
Good picture
fantastic scene with excellent details and perfect clear render
This came out great. Love all the variations on the characters and poses. I've done the same with eco-painting, but it's a lot of work to make all the character variations. Excellent results here and beautiful render and ground material.
Very nice work! Ecosystem people - very cunning! I can hear the bustle!
I'm amazed that you can pump v4 into an eco without blowing the thing to kingdom come. It's really refreshing to see a rendered crowd scene. Way too many single figures on Rendo. Now, how about a good battle scene?
Wonderful!!!
outstanding work, a masterpiece!!!!!
Excellent lighting!!
My god, my system would not handle all those people! Great render!
Another superb work, a masterpiece with perfect light!
Well done.
Great work on the crowd, well done.
it's great to see you pushing yourself skill-wise so much. i realize you're (extremely) familiar with ecosystems, but i'm guessing less with people and more with plants. the buildings and people are still more stiff and less realistic than your plants and more natural scenes, but you're definitely improving. just to let you know, figures are a lot lighter if you remove unneeded morphs once you've created your character and if you reduce to texture sizes to what you need. i think the composition works very well, and i love the sense of activity and movement. i think the instancing worked very well to hide repetition, except for that heavy-set woman in purple in the foreground. she's a bit easy to spot in multiple places, but especially the second one in the mid-ground. i like how the awnings actually look translucent.
nice - this is a crowd as it should be, alive and with purpose.
very realistic, fantastic world , standing ovationen
wonderful scene which ive always wanted to do myself :-) now youve raised the bar. fantastic attention to detail which is what makes a truely great picture
