Dodging Fences - Flythrough near Granville and Robson.

description
Final project for XSI Essentials with Thomas Groppi.
Based on a location at the corner of Robson and Granville, this flythrough demonstrates what happens when someone who loves building maquettes decides to see how many polys XSI can crunch and still run smoothly.
The end result is a fully modeled chain-link fence topped with a double helix of barbed wire that weighs in at 656k triangles.
Textures were kept simple, using just an Ambient Occlusion map and Toon Lens shader on the camera. The AO was kept rough to complement the variance on the lens shader in order to give the stills a hard-drawn look.
