And a small breakdown of the scene

Process:

The main object of the scene - train, took about 3 weeks to make, and has 86k tris and 3x4k texture sets.

Textures are fully procedural, made in Substance Designer

Vegetations were made in new SpeedTree 8, like it a lot, especially new Anchor Point feature

Looks great!

I like the "timelapse" and how it shows the scene evolving, the placement of the campsite and tweaks to the railroad.

Adel0n · Sep 2018

@MarcoAntonio @CybranM Thanks a lot, guys! Really glad you like it

Impressive work! Great that you show a detailed breakdown and with the gif's is a good way to see the progression.

Amazing looking scene, thanks for sharing your workflow. The gifs are great too, although they lagged for the first 2 minutes. Not sure why. One question though, If you dont mind. Were those shrubs and bushes also made in speedtree?

Adel0n · Sep 2018

@siver thank you!

@Krystian_Zem thanks! Yeah, all vegetation was made in Speedtree in the same workflow, as described in the article.
