Making of ruins by Lukasz Szeflinski
Rendering
I didn’t use any special tricks for lighting the scene. I just used one vray sun plus vray sky. The truth is that it’s all about good textures and materials.
Animation
Both the camera move and a hand shake come from a short recorded movie registered with my A95. I tracked the movie in boujou and then exported the movement into 3dsmax. Just a few tweaks and here comes the result: www.lukx.com/content/tutorials/ruinsMakingOf/media/ruinsAnimPreview.html
In order to render this animation I just changed the render settings in Vray built in preset for Medium Animation. I put everything together in Adobe Premiere with Reel Smart Motion Blur. To download final animation please click here: www.3dm3.com/tutorials/ruins/ruins.mov
So there was a bit of modeling, a lot of uvwraping and a huge amount of work to be done on textures in Photoshop to get it all right. The final scene and animation were rendered using Vray 1.5.
I hope this overview was helpful to you. If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to contact me via my website. Lukasz Szeflinski
