I have been working with grassy hills for a while for the SmakStudios.com website. After the package was redesigned I tried to merge the two scenes as a test. Video renders to come.
The ground texture is using an image of grass, and the same bump map to match that. This Render had too large of a bump, and not enough repetition of the texture on the plane surface.
Better render. I just had to make light sources for the hills in the back.
I’ve been working on a side project using MOGRAPH 2 to have objects fly in from outside of the web browser screen and land into a banner at the head of the page. The thing I’m trying to do differently is have the motion fly behind the page content. I’ve found it really annoying and frustrating when there is an expandable or rich media that is being intrusive and hard to close, when all you want to see is the latest news or content of a page. I will be finishing off the renders in the next couple of weeks, and should have an online version for people to try out. Enjoy the boards for now.
Utilizing the RED ONE with MX along with a 35mm Cooke iLens I was able to shoot and matchmove footage and then import it into Cinema 4d. In a few blog posts there will be some more renders, and beauty renders.

So these are rough comps of what the site will look like. The backplate is the master before color correction. This will be used as the matchmoving plate, that the hill scene and inside studios will be composited into. Right now the studio scene is not part of the hills due to render issues. Enjoy.
Did I mention the backplate was shot on RED MX?
