Some of you might remember the Donald Duck in his 313 that I posted about half a year ago (which I now feel I should do a new grade for…). When I made that I also had an idea to make a Duck Avenger version of it but I never did. But now I wanted to do something that I could print and give to my brother this christmas and thought that he would like to have a Duck Avenger on his wall ^^
So I took my old scene, made a new camera, put some volumetrics, new lights and was almost there. Of course some rain would be cool, so added some emitted moving particles with a simple icosphere attached to them with a glass shader on that turned out really good with motion blur enabled! I also modelled a cape for him, added some details to his suit and a mask on his face. Topped it all off with lots of rain drops on everything, quite fast and easy job with the new fields geo nodes.
Rendered with the new Cycles X, took around four hours at 4K 1600 samples which is quite fast considering I have volumes, depth of field AND motion blur enabled. Kinda living the dream here with a 3060ti and Cycles X, doing stuff that I couldn’t have dreamt about only a year ago when I only had my laptops CPU
Comp and grade in Photoshop.
So all in all a pretty fast project. Well of course unless you count aaall the hours that I spent like a year ago on building the car, shading the car, modelling Donald, creating the fur/feathers etc etc
Also made a fast film noire grade, just for fun. Does it work?
Great job on that wet overall feeling! loved the 313 scene but i think though they are very different i like this one even better, i love how on the past scene the showcase of materials and modeling was spot on but on this darker scene i think though materials look amazing, specially the hat (i really like how the fabric looks) i think what makes this one so interesting to me is the composition. Fantastic work! thanks for sharing.
WOW! This is just the most gorgeous Duck Avenger version I ever seen!
I’ve said it on the previous version and I say it again! Disney!!! This is it! Please hire @Tell to direct a proper 2022 Donald Duck movie! I would take the day to see it in the theatres!
Outstanding Job!
BTW, I too bought an RTX 3060 card a few days ago, which I still didn’t had time to try. I had many doubts that it would be good for cycles… I kind of wanted the 3080Ti… but these days they cost more than Gold, so my only chance was the 3060. Seeing that you’re using it and that it can render this, in the mentioned time, I get a lot more optimistic about it
Haha, thank you for that very fine reply! Would also love to see a Duck Avenger movie in this style
Yeah of course a 3080Ti would be so awesome to have! But a 3060 with Cycles X will do very good as well. You’ll probably be happy with it! Have fun rendering ^^
