Snowy scene renders

 

Here are a couple more renders and close-ups from the snowy scene

Merry Christmas Little Bear

Happy Christmas Little Bear from oliver brown on Vimeo.
Here's the finished animation. I added in my Little Bear rig from earlier in the year. Little Bear's wooly hat has a bobble made using a polygon sphere with a displacement map applied.
I spent a lot of time wrangling the lighting of the render till I was happy with it.
The moving camera is constrained to a motion path curving around the building, but its aim fixed on the building.

Sandstone texture

UV'd the main structure and added in a sandstone texture with a bump map.

More progress on the snow house

Some modelling done on the snow bound house. Loving the snow texture so i'm pushing to add lots of detail to the model to get all wintery!

Snow test

Playing around with particles and shaders to create a snowy scene
