A Grey Sky, blender 2.5 beta

Artwork Works in Progress
1

Hi,
I’m new here! My name is Marc and I am a French user. So I’m sorry if my English is not very good.

I make a grey sky with rain with the tutorial :
“How to create rain?” ( http://www.blenderguru.com/bring-the-rain/ ).
But I’ve got problems… I don’t know how create a realistic material for my plant. (because, I made a blend file with a plant, grey sky, rain (of course !)).

I want to create my first realistic render, but I don’t know if my plant (the model) is correct.

So I want to show you my blender file. Can you comment my blender file please?

You must insert the Password to download my blend file. (In French Télécharger = Download^^)

Thanks, Marc.

Bon Jour! You can post some screen shots if you want, it may be easier than downloading for you *.blend file for some slackers like me.

Regarding plants, my own way for plants is to append/importing existing plants meshes, and studying by analysis, then either moving forward . . . with artistic freedom ofcourse!

ca marche pas… t’as utiliser le node editor? parceque ca se render bien, mais après, tout est noir… lol, yeah what I tried to say is that your render isn’t working, the result is always a black picture… hard to say whether the material is good or not :wink:

Kdot,
–> Ok, I’m going to import plants meshes in my blend file.
And there are my images.

Kiriri,
–> Ton Français est très bon, bravo !! Yes, I used the Node editor. I don’t find why my render is black.:frowning:
I’m going to search where is my error.

Looks very nice!
However, you can see the individual spheres, for the rain…maybe decrease the size and increase the blur?

I decrease the size and increase the blur but the scene doesn’t change much.
So I don’t understand why we can see the individual spheres.

I can give my blend file if you want.
