After the storm

Wow awesome! That could even be a promo shot for a movie Thanks for sharing - it must have taken hours to add that amount of detail in SU!

Yes, it is a wow. The scene looks like been shot in Vietnam. Are you doing some works over there.

I am a french architecte but born in Vietnam :).

Wow herbo, this looks phenomenal. I don't know how you achieved such a stylistic aesthetic but it looks like a matte painted based render. Everything looks great!

I agree with all: stunning work! Do you mind sharing a whitemode output with lines? would be useful to get an idea of the geometry!

Great work Herbo, tips for a wet road?

Awesome work!

These are really terrific shots!!!! LOVE the mood you created!

1.i love it !!

Makes me think "we really need the vertical image option!!!!"

I can read the Chinese character on the board~hahah

Nice works!!!

Hi All

Thanks for the great feedback, i really appreciate it

thanks i've attached a white render, showing the geometry. As you can se it's quite complex

Its a combination of different things that makes the whole thing work first of all i've made the road in a rough geometry, with holes and small hills. Then i have intersected this with a plane with a water material, and this makes the large ponds on the road. The wet look of the asphalt is made via a specular map, and a bump map. Maybe i should put together a "making of.." article at some point

Thanks! the look of a matte painting is precisely what i was going for I think its the complex, un-even geometry, highres textures, and a bit of post production that makes the image look more "free hand painted"

Yeah that would be great, I get where you are coming from though, thanks for the reply!
