Another rainy day...

...the leaves on the ground didn't work well, but I'm pretty happy with the rest (new trees and sky again): C&C please?

Re: New renders of new 2.5D+ trees...Update 3/8/10

Something I've forgotten to mention about the new trees: You don't need the shadow layer on for rendering...only for SU shadows when the sun is behind the trees and high in the sky (the leaf pngs cast a horizontal bar if so), and turning that layer off will speed up your model a bunch. Yeah, I prett...

Re: New renders of new 2.5D+ trees...Update 3/5/10

Thanks again Guys...Oli, here we call it a late afternoon "cloud-burst" with a "damn storm drain's clogged again" thrown in. Red, these leaves and trees are "oak-esque", but called "Oak" 'cause it was easier to type so many times :`) Spanish moss, huh? You mus...

Re: New renders of new 2.5D+ trees...

Thanks a bunch, Guys, I consider these a personal breakthru...glad to know I wasn't deceiving myself too much :`) Fletch, the colors are adjusted in the SU material editor...basically, you can have any color you wish for each tree (of course, each instance of a tree will be colored the same). I have...

Re: Playing with Styles

I really like this style you've been developing! (Of course, I like the chairs in the first one...looks like the one on wheels is leaving that rather disfunctionaly group :`)

Re: Latest try...

Nice image, Red...another pleasing use of FS: I still haven't completely explored the extent of this little program! Yeah, the new trees hit a shadow snag: had to come up with a new system for SU shadows...plus a little more hourly work hit the desk which again takes priority. I'm looking at the end...
