Daily render: Towers

Daily render: Building in snow

Daily render: A bunch of rocks

My goal is to create the habit of making something from start to finish every day (in about one hour). To keep the creative juices flowing, and build a library of assets for the movie. Today's render is a background piece, with using blended box mapping for the texture. Blended box mapping is a great way of texturing complex shapes without the need for UV unwrapping, using generated texture coordinates instead. Some dramatic lighting always helps. Needs some plants to make it more interesting...
