Texturing for Video Rendering

Maximum-Dev

Hello,

Whats the best way for texturing a mountain that's supposed to be used for a corporate video. (Rendering with V-Ray, Mental Ray).

And with a polygon limit of 200k would it look realistic when you get close to it?

"When close up (flying over) we need the rock to still look detailed" said the client. What size it has to be to look realistic?

depends on how close you get, but probably not. add a displacement shader in mental ray, to get much better results.

Who is setting that poly limit? Client shouldn't care about limits for a video rendering.

But you'll be wanting a splatmap style material for a large terrain. I would create one in World Machine because the erosion is so nice. Then import the mask maps into Max. http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Landscape
