I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.

    What a wonderful job. Really impressive.
    Somebody know to deal with this amount of containers and objects?
    Fifteen years ago, using 3DS Max, I tried to do a very similar scene but my poor PC just crashed and I could not to finish the job. It was not cool. Since this, I don't take any job with big scenes.
    How to deal with big scenes? Somebody can recommend me a tutorial or give me some tips.
    Thank you guys.

    • Instancing is your best way to go for those scenes you describe with hundreds of containers. You can model the geometry once and then populate the scene with empties, which don't use a lot of memory. The instances can even be textured with differing coordinates so they don't appear to be exact carbon copies. Works like a charm.
