Gaea, 2nd test

Piero March 9, 2021 March 15, 2021

Having fun with Gaea — here’s a second test.

This is the first output after experimenting with Quadspinner Gaea. The process seems pretty straightforward using the nodes provided by Gaea.
I’m trying other procedural terrain generators but at first glance, it seems Gaea is more fun to play with, the results have sort of a more organic feeling to them, and the interface is quite clean and easy to grasp.

The render below is a combination of a height-map and a flow-map imported into Blender — all from a 1k image map as I’m using the Community Edition.
Compositing done in Affinity Photo and Fusion.

Signal to Noise – first animated sequences

Piero December 23, 2020 December 23, 2020

I started rendering a couple of scenes from my latest personal project Signal To Noise (the title may change).

For this part, I also used a bit of C4D MoGraph and x-Particles.

Signal to Noise _ more shots

After a short break, I’m now back on this side project.
Here are some stills from the new shots I’m working on.

Signal To Noise

Piero December 3, 2020 December 3, 2020

This started as a hard-surface exercise and it’s turning into an animation piece.

Modeled in Blender with Fluent add-on. Rendered in Cycles. Compositing done in Fusion with a final CC in Resolve.
Also, quite pleased with Oidn Denoiser in Fusion (before and after below)
