I haven't been posting anything for quite a long time, so I decided to show some of the commercial renders I've made recently - it's railway sleepers impregnation plant located in western Poland.
My task wast to create and render the whole facility in visually attractive way, modernize and refine some of the existing elements and also create the ones which are planned to be built in near future. Deadline was pretty tight - only two weeks in which I had to collect photo references from the site, model almost everything from the scratch and then render in "ready for big size print" format.
I had one colleague who helped me modeling all this little details like wooden/metal crates etc. Trucks come from Archmodels 55 and vegetation from
To be more technical: all the modeling was done in Blender 2.56, then exported to Max 2011 and rendered in V-ray. Vegetation was scattered using Forest Pack plug-in. Before optimization scene had about 10 million polygons, but I had quite a big problem to render it after adding hundred's of thousands proxy vegetation models, so I had to spend some time on re-modeling and converting most of the elements to proxy meshes.
Final renders had 4200 x 2700 resolution, computed on core i7 920, 3-4 hours per image. Post-production and passes adjustment done in Photoshop and After Effects.
Images have some drawbacks but I'm really glad I could finish this project on time. For me, two weeks were very challenging, mostly because I didn't have any experience with such big facilities before.
Really hope you'd like this project, feel free to comment, ask, criticize
Best regards.
