Title: Drrain the Great Lakes ~ Terragen VFX
Post by: cyphyr on January 06, 2012, 06:27:45 PM
Here's a snippet of the Terragen work I did for 422 South last year. In total there were about 12 minutes of animation, mostly in Terragen. This is a little over a minutes worth. The show played out over the new year on National Geographic and Discovery Channel in the US and Canada.

Enjoy

Very cool. I have been over the bridge in the video. It makes the largest 'laker' ships seem tiny! I'll have to see if I can watch this on YouTube; I refuse to pay for cable TV. (Too many infomercials!)

I noticed the pock pits in part of the render. What are they? There are similar structures in Wisconsin and Minnesota which have very good fishing.

Ah, nice to finally see this. The ship wreck scene looks particularly nice. Were the objects rendered in TG as well (guessing not)?

Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

Love the detail/texture on the shipwrecks! Curious to know what you used for that as well.

Very nice to see this, with the TG parts sifted out. The driving cars are a nice touch, and I particularly liked the ships' shots. Great job!

Well now I have to hope for a repeat. Great job! Can't wait to see the other 90%.
