I created this battlefield type environment, to explore new techniques that would allow me to start creating large scale scenes.
Software: Houdini FX - VRay - Nuke X
Everything started with a mood-board and some inspiration
Then it was onto 3D and Houdini, where I blocked out my scene, I scattered my various geometry onto my ground, created a small cloud of smoke, everything was then textured, lighting was added and finally rendered out using V-Ray to go into Nuke X.
Finally everything was imported into Nuke X for compositing and into Premiere Pro for sound FX final touches.
