Art: Barrel Riders

3

Guilherme Henrique created this stunning scene, inspired by Tolkien. I'm stunned by the painting-like quality.

Artwork made for Blender Guru, to demonstrate the recently launched Rock Essentials pack.

All rocks found there came from the pack, so the bulk work of what could be a really long scene to create could be achieved in roughly two weeks, with most of the time being devoted to composition and the water setup.

All the water and mist/foam are coming from the render, no fancy post-production here. The water splashes, mist, foam and waves are all alpha masked planes and shapes, with splash/foam samples taken from pictures or hand-painted.

Strongly influenced by the Tolkien universe/weta work (as everything else I do), turbulent waters won't stop barrel riders :-)
