Hats off for the detail and pulling it off in one week. I'm sure there were some late nights and loads of coffee involved ;) one question: what interests me very much is your workflow before even hitting max. I'm sure you have an extensive image reference library. Any photographers that you like in particular? keep up the good work... T

Espectacular! En el estudio donde trabajo les hemos pedido algun render y me parecen buenisimos. Alguna recomendacion donde hacer algun buen curso de 3d max de nivel intermedio-avanzado por Buenos Aires? O solo en el exterior hay buenos cursos? Un saludo!

Have to agree with Peter. It's an amazing piece, and the "making of" is very well done. I'd like to know how it was used in the business of the office. Maybe the client is unusually well-versed in the finer points that we all geek out about here, but it would go right over the heads of a normal client. In an animation, maybe all the dust and rays move, so there is some dynamic thing going on, but as a still image for the Internet, or even a printed presentation, seems a bit much.

This is a wonderful image and tons of interesting ideas in the tutorial. I did get the feeling that an enormous amount of work went into subtleties that I just can't appreciate in the final image. It's a case of when is enough enough. I actually thought some of the earlier images were better than the final which was starting to look over worked to me...am I completely wrong here?

wow! i am really amazed about the effective effort you put in postproduction - congrats for the nomination on the awards btw. @ethan: i think if you display the vray proxies as box and not as edges the viewport performance should be fine.. all the best Lasse

hey NOTOS, i uderstand the value of using proxies for file-sizes, i was more headed into the question related to viewport performance whenever i see these extremely heavy scenes, wether it be geometry or proxies, the viewport performance is crap in max. Nitrous is a no go with this many proxies, right? I'm just trying to get a view on this in regards to mental ray, cause your scene is VRay... You had no problems in the viewport what so ever? You could maintain a full overscope view the whole time? Regards, Ethan

very intense workflow, however i think u skipped an important part: how the hell do you MANAGE such a scene, i mean, the brick proxies, the plant proxies, this xtremely heavy geometry translated in proxies, makes sense, but i'm curious to know how long it took the Vray renderengine to even load all those proxies before calculating the GI. We're using the same approach in mental ray but seriously, even if we get near 20.000 proxies the viewport performance goes to shit lol, i'm guessing layers or Xrefs but still... Ethan, about the size of the file, it is not that hard to manage actually, the memory limit on our vray is set to 4500 mb and it took around 5 min to calculate and begin light cache, i hope that is what you were asking.
