Cityscape

We tried to render the city of the animation “Journée” with the current version of Yafaray render. We will certainly more experiment with this render in the future.

Al always on stand-by, we're still working on our next video. This is a still-frame test. All is made with Blender with some postpro with Photoshop, even if we certainly could achieve the same with Blender's compositing system. We have hardly made more than 50% of the animation part. 

A bigger version is available if you click on the image.

Rain tests

Al: Rain test 1 from bupla on Vimeo.

These are the first rain tests. All this is achieve essentially by animated textures and compositing with Blender. It's not exactly realistic, but it's quite in the mood I want, and much faster to render than particles. I may add puddle pools and gutters though.

I will use the same process for the car and the character but it will be more complicated because they move and they have round shapes that makes water run.
