It's made me alter the colour pallet in my current scene and consider some details worth adding in future ones. Essentially I'm working on a set of nodes and textures that can create the illusion of thousands of trees in a forest without object populations. It needed more blue. The trees in Ruin made a co-worker of mine instantly say, "Get some of that blue in there." ;)

It's a really lush, detailed environment in Ruin. Inspiring stuff imo.

Now that sounds amazing! Would love to see an example of that :)

One day, one day... soon potentially.  ;D It's actually quite obvious stuff.

Let's take into consideration that this took two years to completion.

They used Ivy Generator. Cool. The beginning (up to the container crashing down) is still the best, though the chase is not too crappy, either :)

Really?! I wonder if they had the kind of problems I had.

Ivy Generator takes some time, but you'll enjoy it once you get the hang and use of it.

Amazing, simply amazing !!

I have a question to you guys --- How to animate real looking fire?

The scene of the crash, where that guy was standing atop of the burning wreckage, the burning flames don't look "real" enough

Which software package that offer more real looking flame?
