Aztec Army in the Valley of Mexico

Some quick renders of the Aztec army near Tenochtitlan, present day Mexico City.

Considering the present state of TG2TP, this is very good.  How long did these renders take?

[gregsandor]

These average 20 minutes each, at something like .5 quality and other settings at 0.  The high res ones take longer but look really good.

It's too bad some of the ones in the first one exploded.  Did you have any displacement set in the objects' shaders?  Other than that, this is a very creative idea.  Nice job!

[gregsandor]

Yeah, but thesde were just fast tests to get the general positioning right; I'm lining them up in the streets between temples so I want to render many quickly.  The exploded one I think was rendered at something like .125 or .25 quality.  The better settings (not posted here) are sweet.

Love your deep blue sky and the fake stones in the bottom pictures look realistic, though I wish they were more textured.
