yowza. that's quite a challenge you've set for yourself; the largest chariot battle in recorded history. Are you depicting a particular moment of the battle? Ramses leading the remnants of Ra division in the counter-attack after the initial Hittite attack reaches the Egyptian camp, perhaps?
I always thought that sounded pretty dramatic. Be sure to show us when you finish it! I'd love to see it. I've always thought Pharoahnic troops looked bad-ass.
I haven't done a full battle scene yet... i'll get there
I'm planning on doing single unit renders for a bit, get some practice in, before i tackle an even larger composition.
I also have this crazy idea to render a large battle scene in the artistic style of Greek black figure vase paintings/Egyptian wall paintings, much like the loading screens from Shogun2 were done in ukiyo-e style. But maybe i'll leave that to CA's art team, and render in the style i already use
