This helps a lot for the 3ds max community. Although most famous movies use 3ds max, Maya, and Houdini, it's really hard to know the process from real professional. I just see this channel for the first time and hit LIKE & SUBSCRIBE button!!!
Brilliant work. So inspiring!! I started learning Clarisse which is no more. I now need to commit to a new large scale environment, scattering, instancing tool. Im already a Maya user. Would you recommend Bifrost or rather start learning Houdini?
oh, I like it much more than Denis' version! this is more like what book made me think of. Not just fortified lifeless city buildings all around, but life! People, colors, drapes, markets, stores..
Great tutorial/breakdown. Would love to know if everything was proxied. Also I love your "asset check" flow. Where each asset was rotated, THEN the lighting was rotated. Very clever.
So in Vray you can randomise the texture in multiple ways. The most simplest is using scholastic tiling in a vray UVW randomizer node that appears at render time.
It is a perfect job! really amazing! Dear friend what is a so beautiful soundtrack in video? I couldn't find same in DUNE 😞 Would you give me name of this soundtrack please?
Excellent breakdown Steffen. I was very curious, I saw on your ArtStation, that you previously used Maya for some of your projects. Which workflow do you prefer, Maya or 3Ds Max with Forest, Railclone Etc? And what tools are used if you for example had to do the same thing using a Maya based Workflow outside of 3Ds max. I Already know all the tools here having worked in Archviz for nearly 10 years, but I am curious what would be needed if I try and get into a Maya based production.
Is there any wayu you can give us some insight on how you were able to handle and maniuplate with any kind of efficiency and speed that kind of mind boggling polygon and asset count? Was everything proxied? Do you guys have a building full of Xeon workstations with entire racks of 3090TIs with entire shelves of exobytes of RAM? I understand studios have more computing power but something like this....in 3DS Max..? I'd love to learn how to come even close!
You will be surprised how much optimization helps..ofc everything is an instanced proxy and we re use the same textures alot - i rendered this on a 5950x Ryzen and the scene only took like 38gb RAM..
hey your work is always inspirable and awesome , i have a question 0:59 how did u create the layout in 3ds max ??? i mean u modelled it or mega scans ?
Where to render your animation sequences, do you use a render farm or do it local on your machine, any advice on this topic? How long does it take you to render each frame? Do you use CPU or GPU?
@@stfVFX You have very good render time per frame for such a realistic sequence. what processor do you use? For your lighting, what do you use HDRI, or Vray Sun?
@@stfVFX You have a great course on a photorealistic scene, it would be great to see a course on how to handle a VFX-type animated scene like the ones you do, how to optimize them as you say, render settings, render elements and all that stuff. You have been very kind in answering my questions!
How u place trees in max....i am 3d artist from india i recently working on a project that i have to make environment....environment have tooo much trees..i used maya mesh network to place tree but my file is crashing 😢
Hey, you are a really talented 3d artist. Very impressive work. However, I can hear that you are using my music, without my permission. I've never stated that my music is free, and I know, that you know that you don't use other people's hard work without their consent! Since you are a content creator, I would expect you to respect this. What was the reason for you to go about using my music without asking?

I love how the look of Rogue One inspired this Dune city look.
Great breakdown of a top quality shot Steffan. Thank you so much for sharing!
Learned a lot of things from this video. Thank you for making this tutorial. You are so talented.
Thats really awesome. Love to see how the professionals do it! :D I'd also love to see how you did the compositing.
Love to see this kind of 3D max set up story from you … great environment artist …
Stef, This looks incredible!! Well done!
this is pure gold
Man it's unreal! This video is really interesting!
speechless work, really astonishing.
Actually somehow less time complex than I would've expected, result is really nice
Great breakdown on achieving cinematic quality level, refreshing to see 3dsMax still being used.
yeah i thought people said 3ds max is dead ?
A paid full step by step tutorial for environment like this would be great
Amazing work. man! I love it. Super lighting and landscape
Stunning !
Woah your work is so good. ❤❤❤
Very well done! First thought you were using Clarisse to scatter the city.
wow is incredible, like they said is difficult to see on YT high professional workflow on max
amazing work
This project looks really amazing, and I've learned a lot, nice job!
Brilliant work. So inspiring!! I started learning Clarisse which is no more. I now need to commit to a new large scale environment, scattering, instancing tool. Im already a Maya user. Would you recommend Bifrost or rather start learning Houdini?
step bt sep tut will be really helpful 👍
Yes please makes detail tutorials ! You are insane :)
flawless
Need more tutorials from your humble student fan❤
This is amazing, thank you so much for sharing. Would love a little bit of info about your lighting, rendering and comp.
oh, I like it much more than Denis' version! this is more like what book made me think of. Not just fortified lifeless city buildings all around, but life! People, colors, drapes, markets, stores..
Thanks for the breakdown my man
Great tutorial/breakdown. Would love to know if everything was proxied. Also I love your "asset check" flow. Where each asset was rotated, THEN the lighting was rotated. Very clever.
Makes me want to create my own video game❤
love to see more tips and tricks tutorials from you
Great content!! I hope you could make more content like this
Beautiful work! Love it! :D
Amazing result.
they also use 3s max so its like original
Nice one buddy :)
Incredible work. Thank you to share this with us. Please make a more step-by-step video.
Beyond inspiring. Could you please create a detailed postproduction video on this with Masashi Imagawa? How the scene was composited in post etc.?
Amazing! Congrats and thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing the breakdown 🙌🙌
Please make a course on this .
This is great! How do you scatter the building? Lmao thats the million dollar question.
nice breakdown :)
Please talk more about shading details and how did u randomized the textures. Thx
So in Vray you can randomise the texture in multiple ways.
The most simplest is using scholastic tiling in a vray UVW randomizer node that appears at render time.
Amazing, well done.
Everything is good presize, I'm wondering about your PC and the render server. 😅
incredible
So epic!
Thanks for the Breakdown/tutorial! Did you switch to 3ds Max?
fantastic.
OMG!
🥵🔥🔥🔥
Really awesome...
It is a perfect job! really amazing! Dear friend what is a so beautiful soundtrack in video? I couldn't find same in DUNE 😞 Would you give me name of this soundtrack please?
Awesome
great job
How was this scene lit? I noticed you didn’t touch on lighting
Nice insights!
awesome
Wow!!!
Amazing work please make more tutorial and more deeply
what hardware configuration you used for this heavy scene..??
30M POLY !!!! DANGGGGG MY PC COULD NEVER , whats your setup?
How are you rendering a huge scene like this?
Really nice
Thank you for the tutorial
Trees on Arrakis???
Bro please tell your CPU RAM usage and Graphics ram usage. You need a Twin tower PC to render it.😅
Did you used GPU render ? Or Cpu ?
Great detailed work …
CPU! I dont know of any GPU that can handle that heavy scenes
@@stfVFX Agree …what about multiple GPU
Also with network option ?
Thank you 🙏
In some parts of the video I can see a vertice count of about 40mil, is that only the terrain, or the complete scene with all the assets?
Bro so cool I'm inspired You
Excellent breakdown Steffen.

Do you also do the compositing?
Hello Steffen, how much take for these render shots? And what is your PC specs?
Please tutorial

@@stfVFX thats not possible i dont beleive it
hey your work is always inspirable and awesome , i have a question 0:59 how did u create the layout in 3ds max ??? i mean u modelled it or mega scans ?
my friend Masashi did that, planes + displace modifier (texture) + move vertices
Can I know the version of Gaea?
how did you scatter the props? did you hand place every building or...
you're fucking amazing
as for rendering ....how many hours does it take?
putting assets together that are already extremly detailed.
Where to render your animation sequences, do you use a render farm or do it local on your machine, any advice on this topic?
How long does it take you to render each frame? Do you use CPU or GPU?
Local machine, 8 min/frame on CPU
@@stfVFX You have very good render time per frame for such a realistic sequence. what processor do you use? For your lighting, what do you use HDRI, or Vray Sun?
@@davidferrera2927 Vray Sun and domelight. I use a Ryzen 9 5950x. But the scene was also really well optimized. that plays a huge role too
@@stfVFX You have a great course on a photorealistic scene, it would be great to see a course on how to handle a VFX-type animated scene like the ones you do, how to optimize them as you say, render settings, render elements and all that stuff.
You have been very kind in answering my questions!
@@stfVFX Could you elaborate on optimization part? :) I mean the render time is very surprising for a prosumer level CPU
since the KB3D buildings don't have beveled edges, how do you handle this? Does VRay have a round corners option for its shader?
Yes there is. Never used it so far though. Those models are not made for closeups
@@stfVFX so you mean at that distance it really doesn't matter if they're beveled or not? Gotcha, thanks!
Which system are u using ?
this must be done in maya
Max dosen't crash ?
Nope :D
How u place trees in max....i am 3d artist from india i recently working on a project that i have to make environment....environment have tooo much trees..i used maya mesh network to place tree but my file is crashing 😢
