first procedural objects brought into shot scene

Some of the procedural elements applied to the scene geo.

ff growth

Started a procedure to dress up the landscape and make it's shape a bit more interesting. Some grass, stones and trees in there so far. Before/after in the picture.

ff flyover dirty test

Quick test to see what's needs to be done.

ff mist v001

Mist to be placed on the lakes.

ff lake lookDev hdri

Did some work on the lighting on this setup. Also tried to compute the kind of type of "stretched reflections" you offen see on water, but as maya/vrays shading interface is frustratingly limited I only managed to do this in Houdini (top picture).

ff pine tree lookDev

Found through a meeting that we need to get fairly close to some pinetrees so I started on this setup. They feel a bit saggy but some tweeks and they're good to go.
