This is a scene I created this Sunday afternoon for a weekend challenge at another website. The challenge theme was "energy." I chose the wind as a source of energy, and wanted not only to symbolize its power here in the foreground windmill but also with the clouds, distant birds, and material oxidation.
Total modeling time was around three hours. Materials and lighting about another two. Distant birds are UVmapped and rigged. Sky is primarily a photo modified by procedurals. All other textures are procedural. Some noise was added in post.
As always, commentary on my work is welcome and encouraged!
