Absolutely stunning work guys!
I loved the in-depth write-up on the eyes; I’m no artist, but love all the tech explanations on how materials and lighting and everything come together. And off course, I can’t help, but to repiterate the others and hope that you would let us take a look at that shader, though I understand if you want to keep it to yourself for now for various reasons.
You even managed to make rocks look exciting and beautiful!
What I would love to see though, is any concept art or plans you have for the scene or are you just free-balling it?
