Silence II

Hello!

This is a personal project I finished a while ago right before going to travel in SE Asia. I´m back now (with too many ideas to work on in 3D) and sharing this image.
The boys are inspired by Piotr Jabłoński´s Tomcat series which I´ve enjoyed for a long time. All his work is pure inspiration.

Love it, mate!

Great to see something entirely original here

Thanks!

But when you resize the window with the picture, somewhere in the middle-left, you get moire effect because the lines are a little too straight. I don’t think you would get moire from natural lines of wheat.

Very nice, did the corona scatter at this scale kill your system or are you using texturing for the background fields?

Wheat is planted in quite straight distinct lines actually, but moire effect happens in my image because I intentionally made my background wheat forest more sparse to make lines visible. In the real world, these lines would be all mixed together this far.

It´s all rendered. I used different forest objects for fore-, mid and background, it was easier to manage this way. It was fine with my 64gb ram, although I didn´t optimize much. I made wheat myself with Growfx and it was too tempting to make a lot of different objects just by clicking new seed number. I made 20+ different wheat objects which all are about 200K polys. I optimized background objects down to about 50K polys. I think it would have been totally fine with maybe 2-4 usual wheats, 2 bended wheats for the edge of the path and 2 harvested wheats. There´s only under 7M items in forest objects actually.
