Island_render_2602

WorldMachine island render with baked lightmaps and flowmap. Water bodies, rivers, streams and the ocean added using photoshop. The island is still a long way from being finished, but the basic layout is now complete, allowing me to focus on medium to high levels of detail. Once the island has been almost fully detailed at a medium to high level, i can start adding textures and vegetation. I want to postpone texturing and adding vegetation till the end as it will dramatically effect performance in the editor and i dont want to get sidetracked with those details. I want to avoid using lots of geometry objects such as rocks to shape the terrain, as i will be pushing the limits of objects in one map, instead focusing on making the terrain as detailed as possible and use voxels for the more intricate details.

 

I should point out that this image is in fact a full size 4096 render, but due to the limitations of the Flickr basic account, image sizes are limited to 1024.

 

When im a little more financially able, i will buy a pro account so the full size images can be seen.
