As title. I don't know if I posted one of these before, but here you go anyway.
The peat diggers scene is not exactly what I intended, still working on it. The clay layer (in the pit) looks like aluminium (default shader metalic only) :P
btw. I have to figure out why the lower eyelid (?) is so dark.... glass, so maybe 2-sided is better.
just curious, do you model these characters or they are from some library? pretty good stuff i like it
I pose and morph genesis 1 figures in DAZ, clothe them in Marvelous Designer, and recently started modding their faces in ZBrush. Skins are basic maps provided, plus quite a bit of procedural or image map extra's in TG.
As they are basically for mid-range renders, they don't have to be perfect, though I can't resist working on them in detail more and more.
Excellent figures and a ton of work!
Great figures! And watching the workers in the mud I am happy about my "boring" office job :)
Some more medieval figures, in a field. PT render with DOF.
The expressions and poses of the characters look very natural on the last 2 pictures!
Thank you.

"SEE!? The wheats not ready! But the hand scythe away! Go hunting, or something!"
Lol
Lots of life in the models, well done.
:D That's quite appropriate!
Nice work.

I don't mind what they eat - but the renders look great! :)
impressive as usual!
A new setup for 1530 AD peat digging.
The sceen looks very natural, balanced in its colours and I would say... Dune styled... GREAT JOB!
By the way.... the sunken boat is a very good bonus, easy to overlook, but gives the little extra.
STORMLORD
Great and natual render!
As dirk said "Dune styled" :)
Meanwhile I think an official predicate :)
...ähämmm... I see a boat that moored at the jetty but I'm still on the search for the sunken boat...
Thanks guys. Just beyond it in the same ditch. The guys who commissioned this complain about the cows being too modern, so I have to give them a more antique look :P
Maybe something like this?
Sorry, couldn`t resist ::)

Very nice article with lots of illustrations. And you can download this as a pdf file.
CHeers, Klaus
A bit too ancient, haha. Thanks Klaus! Interesting.
Updated version.
Very nice achievement and historically instructive!
Amazing. Lots of things to discover.
One more test scene.
Would ancient settlements like that have piles of old rotting wood? You'd think everything would be used for something, or burned to cook.
Really like the liveliness of the scene. Can see them at work even though it's a still.
You have a point, but I needed some 'stuff' to make the yard a bit less sterile. Which is always a bit of a struggle. But they may have been rescued parts of the sunken boat, waiting to be burned in the stove... They would probably not have made a doghouse either ::)

Absolutely!
I also find the texture of the peat tiles and the recognizable layers of soil remarkable!
Very nice work on the objects, characters and textures. With the bird's eye view I told myself that the workers were creating corridors for the water, but with this last shot I realize he cuts the peat with precision. Out of curiosity, what was he doing with this peat?
They used it as fuel (once dried), very common practise in the old days. This was around 1530 AD. The pits were separated by small areas, because otherwise they would flood too soon.

Thank you Dune for this informations.
