Hi All:
Google image search is becoming my first source for unexpected
inspiration... as usual, I was searching for something else, when found a
nice aerial pic of the Amazon river.
Here are some details about this "quick hack":
+ The base terrain is a heighfield, hand-painted over a googlemaps
screen-shot.
+ The river is just a plane, with a bump map also hand-painted in The
Gimp, and a simple orange scattering media for the "muddy water" effect.
+ There are 50,000 POVTrees, using only 4 different meshes. The tree
sizes and distribution are half-guided by a pigment function.
+ The huts were made with Wings3D in about a minute (well, maybe two...)
and the smoke column was borrowed from my office scene (the cigarette smoke).
+ Of course, skylight.inc was used for the lighting.
+ render time was 40 min for the first pass, and just 20 for the final one.
Regards,
--

Hmm, out of curiosity, do you have the full stats output?

Not exactly from that render, but from a later one, and it's the one for
the second pass (load rad data). But now that you mentioned it, I had a look
and I don't see the memory usage reported anywhere...

What fun! Keep it simple.
I take it the shadows are from clouds? Nice touch.

You're making me wonder if Avatar is such an achievement after all.

For being a "quick hack", this render is very nicely done! A little more color
variation could help the trees, and the smoke looks a little off, possibly
because it was designed for a smaller-scale scene. For the most part, though, it
looks good!
It must be nice to have inspiration :(

"Quick hack"... you are joking Jaime! Such a scene would take me a couple of
days at least.
Excellent, as always. Very photographic.
Please, keep us in wonder.

I'm sorry but a shot inside the forest will reveal there is nothing under
the trees, apart from a pixelated soil texture... it was intended as a sort
of "aerial impressionism". :)

Yes, I forgot to mention the clouds: it is just a plane with a turbulent
leopard pattern, to cast some shadows.
