Meteor is falling!

A mini update and lots of 🧇 🧇 🧇 🧇 🧇 from me ! Below is a test render of the shot I have been working on. It is still a while away from being finished but every little step gets me closer to finishing it! I finally got my act together and started to create LOD’s of the assets so that I can reduce down RAM usage – thank you to  @Theoldzitterhand  for encouring me to do this step 😊 it has hugely helped!! I had been putting it on my never ending ‘To do’ list as there is a lot of lovely #kitbash assets I have been using and by default I only loaded them with the highest textures etc. I have now updated about 30% of the assets to have an LOD option so RAM usage is about 90GB. I need to reduce it further – getting there!! Rocks in the river are scattered using #houdini (although you can’t really see them). Clouds are done in hashtag#houdini too. The Trees currently are hand placed in #maya , I am going to do a tree scatter pass in Houdini next. Rendered in Maya using hashtag#Arnold and clouds are rendered in Houdini using Mantra. Comp is done in hashtag#Nuke. I hope you all have a lovely weekend!!!
