    Wintermarket



    Hello everybody,

    actually I wanted to finish this project as a day version of a big historical marketplace with much more people and activiy next year. But then I tested the wip scene with a new plugin I wrote for saving lightsituations, and I liked the result so much that I decided to create a winter/christmas version of this image.

    I wish you all a great christmas and a happy new year!

    Sven, can you give some details about the scene. Are the people simple polys or added in, in post? How many polys were in the scene? details on lighting?

    Re: Wintermarket

    thank you all very very much for your feedback

    @ richdj: sure

    actually I wanted to finish this project as a day version of a big historical marketplace with much more people and activiy next year. But then I tested the wip scene with a new lscript I wrote for saving lightsituations, and I liked it so much that I decided to create a winter/christmas version of this image.

    you can see the Wip thread here:

    http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthre...?f=43&t=823955

    The people are actually lowpoly characters I created a few years ago for a private 3d-game project. The have around 1500-3000 polygons each, most of the are rigged, but I also used a few groups of freezed peoples in the scene.

    The Scene contains 3,9 Million polygons,399 Objects and 474 Lights.

    For placing all the lights, I wrote a small lscript wich can place the lights onto the polygons of a Object. So you first create one polygon for every light in a building, and save your polys with same name as the object + "_lights". Later, the lscript will automatically load this object and places light on every polygon in your "light object"...

    I made the image look very much blue and orange to reach a good cold/warm contrast... Of course I know that this looks not soo real, but my main goal here was a good mood, not realism.

    The christmas tree is of course more something like a "joke". The scene represents a fictive town of the 16-17th century.

    Specially for this scene I modeled a few new buildings you can see on the right side... Some of them are french (16.-17th century I guess), a few others are german "Backstein-Gotik" buildings from 14-17 th century.

    The church is a mix of notre Dame (side), Westmister Abbey (front) and a few german churches.
