Here's a render test of loonville.

That looks really nice, Mark!
Will you be replacing the background with a dense thicket?

Mark, your shots are looking better and better all the time! You should slow down so the rest of us schmoes can catch up!

Great work!

Lee

Thanks guys.

Paul, I'll look into it.

Lee, try telling Martin I should slow down.

Whoohoo! I was just worrying about that.....now it's done! Looks great too. Materials or decals?

Bitmap plus and decals.

Oh, and I'm not done yet.

Give that a "yippee" from me too.

New update.

Roots! Of course! Maybe some vines hanging down too!?
I can't figure out what time it's supposed to be. In the script it says morning yet the Loons have a fire lit and there are shadows from it in the animatic. Maybe it's very early morning.....like dawn and still twilight. Then the thick tree cover would make it darker too.

I was planning on vines hanging from the trees and the hill on left.

Martin told me late afternoon/early evening.

Ken, is there a leaf image for the loon throne (hair material)?

Yep. The three leafed one is for the throne while the bigger one is for the "flags" in the ground behind it. I think that's all....

TWO Repository\data\Shared Data\Models\Set_chors\Loonville\Images

Got it.

The alpha on the 3 leaf image is showing a large halo in v14, but not so much in v13.

I added the bonfire to 2-03. Here's a test render of one of the scenes.

Just saw your test render of loonville..looks great! has a nice kinda magical feeling to it.

That's what I'm talking about!

Here's a new render.

The first image of the loons I played with the intensity of the light for the bonfire, because in other scenes it was too much, but that was a mistake. In this render the intensity was reset and adjusted falloff.

If you look at both renders you will notice the pattern on the loons are different in each render, the first one was rendered with multipass and this one is not.

I should mention that the first pass of the multipass render, rendered this pattern, and by the fouth pass it had a different pattern. (v14 beta 5)

Looks great. I agree it looks better with the light coming from the fire. But it's so dark that we can't see all your work! Maybe a smidgen lighter?

Nice work, mark!

Thanks guys. I took a day off yesterday from A:M. I still have 65 scenes to put the bonfire in.
