Hey guys

I'm a long long long time polycount lurker.    I haven't posted anything in a while, but wanted to share my latest piece!

It was inspired by the illustrations of Paul Bonner.  I wanted to create a piece that had a lot of movement and story-telling.  It was a lot of fun to do.  

All of the assets were created to run in real-time and the final scene was rendered with Marmoset Toolbag 3.  It was really tough to manage this scene at the end as I really tried to push Toolbag to the limit.

If you are interested,  I posted a post-mortem in the Marmoset forums.

I hope you like it!  Let me know what you think.

Cheers,





Here are the screenshots and turntables of the individual assets in the scene.























Here are some clay renders of the highres source scene.







And lastly, just a basic turntable of the scene, without the background and less animated elements.

This is absolutely lovely and I can't believe this was rendered inside of marmoset toolbag.
Impressive work!

Koromo

WOW!

Did you use the keyframes/timeline built into Marmoset or exported the animated cameras from Maya/max?

Impressive details, awesome lightning, fuzz hairs and camera animation, Top!

Thanks Tits.  I really tried to push Toolbag to the limit.  I used every ounce of potential I could find.

Koromo:  Thanks!  I imported my camera from 3ds max,  but I did a lot of additional keying inside of Toolbag, for focus distance, focal length, etc.  I tried to do my initial camera pass in Toolbag,  but it was too cumbersome with the current keyframe tools.

Glad you enjoy the piece!  Yeah,  the whole piece was rendered inside of Toolbag 3.  Camera animation, and animation of the leaves, coins, fireflies etc, was imported in from 3ds max though.  I rendered out the entire sequence as EXRs and then did some final color grading and levels adjustment inside of Davinci Resolve.

I didn't know that we can import animated camera from other apps into Toolbag. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks!  Not yet,  but I'll be putting up my next pieces up on Sketchfab,  this one was a little too complex.
