Hello there CGHub! Finally I get to create another new thread around here.
I recently wrapped up my new personal project and I really wanted you guys to check it out.



Please make sure to watch the Video in HD until the very end, because that's where all the project is! All the following images are merely a bunch of working materials. Thank you very much!

I'm sorry that the amount of stuff is pretty overwhelming, but what you gonna do. Also the forum seems to have trouble embedding the video. If this is the case for you please just click the link.

I won't be posting much screenshots for now because this work is not about static images at all and I really want everyone to check out video.

Now you've probably guessed by the thread title that this environment has some kind of shader trickery in it.) And you're totally right!

I thought I'd dump all the diffuse maps and do an environment without them for a change.
(And a whole lot of other shader magic)


I've written a little paper about all the ins and outs of "procedural" materials that you can get RIGHT HERE, but for those of you who won't, I'll just repost some images from it here:

Some sculpts, or Normal Map renders to be precise:

yay goats!

Sorry had to break it down into 2 post - since the 16 images pre post restriction.

Yeah my stuff rarely comes without reading material:P

And the crappiest part that I'm actually most proud of Now I know I suck at concept art, but anyway:

Once again I don't post much stills because that's not what this project was about and hopefully all this production materials will convince you to check out the video(in HD with sound On).

Now if you're interested in all of the shader trickery and technical details that are aplenty in this environment, or concepting and ideation of a project of such scale feel free to check out my making of videos.

It's a bit on the long side, but hopefully you'll get compensated with interesting info for your time.
