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.
Medieval village houses and market items by rodluc2001, thanks a lot!
Thanks for viewing, comments etc. always welcome and appreciated.
Have a nice day

Such a busy scene! Excellent. I like all the details. And especially the way you used the characters. Great!

Very good idea to use ecosystem of people, and the a few indevidual Poser figures out up front. You don't have to excuse yourself for compositing, it is a fabulous painting. Compositing is good - for instance, the houses in the background could use a little postwork, they are a little too regular and 3Dish as it is now!

Brilliant use of the ecosystem to populate the market with so many people - super image so busy and natural looking
Kindredsoul
good idea to use these people as instances I imagine ecosystems of people handles memory much better than importing each one individually.

Incredible, so many details and great variety. My computer took one look at this and crawled off the desk and hid under my chair. Fantastic scene, can't wait to see how you bring your two worlds together.

Thanks for your comments so far, much appreciated. About the ecosystems, loading any object as instance uses less resources than loading just one ordinary. Populating results in very little resource drop, unless you populate in millions literally. As I've commented in the forum in some thread, populating with a V4 character in full and very detailed outfit etc. didn't show any resource drop at 4000 instances!

I've done an image or two using people as ecos but nothing this detailed. There is so much going on that at first glance it isn't obvious that the same figure is used multiple times. Overall a great scene.

Really great scene. Crowd scenes are hard to do but you did just fine. A couple of notes: First, draft horses were originally bred as mounts for knights, they needed to be able to carry a lot of weight (knight + armor for the knight and the horse + weapons), also since a knightly battle could be fought in uneven terrain, speed was of secondary importance. Everything is great except for the awnings on the stalls, they look modern. I hope you don't mind the pickiness.
