Curiosity

Post by B.Y.O.B. »

A quick shot with the curiosity rover.
Rover model: https://nasa3d.arc.nasa.gov/detail/curiosity-dirty
Ground model: https://nasa3d.arc.nasa.gov/detail/pahrump-hills
Texture from textures.com.

I wrote a small script that converts Blender Internal materials to LuxCore node trees (just for this project, so it is very unfinished):

Rendertime 7min (Path CPU on my laptop).
Compositing in LuxCore (only imagepipeline plugins).

Thanks guys.

Obviously there are some issues:
- The textures don't hold up when the camera is this close
- The model is a bit too lowpoly (needs subsurf on some parts)

The atmosphere is done the following way:
- world set to sky, color tinted slightly orange
- sun also tinted orange, high turbidity to account for the dust in the air
I also added some fog in the distance with the Mist imagepipeline plugin, but it causes white fringes on the horizon (it uses the depth pass, which is not anti-aliased).
