Plant Life

Editing this 2nd page again.
Trying to cleaning up all this mess.

Found a 3d plant on this site and I need to fix it some:

Nice keep up the good work =) Did you make the foliage yourself? If not what software did you use?

Yes, made foliage with ngPlant.
Tall grass is made with blender plugin called Fiber203.



the ornamental grass looks good. looks like there is a version of fiber generator script for blender2.63

Thanks, need to try that new fiber script.

500 Cycles samples.
Yellow was to loud and had to change it.


I tried the fiber generator script.
I grew the grass on a small mesh plane.
I had to modify the script to get more blades out, Max was 50 for density and raised to 1000.


Hey David, I too have played with vegetation a lot so take this advise be careful not to beat it to death if you know what I mean. It seems to me that you are moving farther and farther away from the vegetation coloring which you began with and I my opinion some of your first renders were the best. I have fallen into this same trap before my self going over and over and over a leaf color or the bark color ect. Anymore I’m finding that taking a photo of a leaf and binging it into blender with maybe only some gama or contrast adjustments is all that should be done. Other than that developing a image board to pick exact colors from is helpful as well such as the colors for the translucency of a leaf. All these things are much harder to do then they appear. With all that being said I still give you great respect for your efforts:) Keep up the great work and Happy Blending!

I was thinking the first renders were the worst and trying to improve on them.
Yes, photos help in getting a more realistic render.
