This is the third subject in a row about an ‘old’ civilisation; first Babylon, then Vikings and now Japan.
Let’s see what I can do. Great luck everyone.

Rocks, Grass and Pebbles

Here is a slightly fantastical Japanese Garden, ever so faintly Monet inspired…

http://www.artofinterpretation.com/images/wc109-thumbnail-japanesegarden-byrjt2004.jpg

Created and rendered in Blender 2.33a. All procedural textures except for the swan. Saturation/contrast tweaked in post. Branches/leaves use dupliverts, grass simply too many subdivided planes duplicated/proprortionately edited.

8.5 hours to render. Over 4 million render time verts in this one! :smiley:

Ta-daa! It’s pure, except for the background, which I made in gimp. It’s pure.

And theeth, here’s a thumb: http://img75.photobucket.com/albums/v228/PlantPerson/japanthumb.jpg

what, you couldn’t through in an adjective that I could use to dement it like in Hanging Gardens of Babylon? lol I will try, but I dunno.

you could have hundreds of japanese people sprouting up out of the ground! (that isn’t my idea naturally…) :smiley: It’s a little too morbid though… %|

Here it is!

I was going to put some japanese proverb here, but I decided not to. :smiley:
The tree was modeled by hand, grass was made using fiber, completely pure. :smiley:

I think I’ll participate in the WC this time:)

Here’s my version of a Japanese garden. All pure Blender, except for the skybox which I created in terragen.

Just look at that sand, carefully raked each morning by the groundskeeper. It’s designed in such a way that it focuses its power on the pillar in the center. The large stones are negative forces that must be overcome in the gratuitous sand sculpting process.

i like the theme, but , still a noob, i can’t make plants. maybe i make a garden where it rained a lot so you only see a layer of water.
but that would be too simple so i’m participating next time (if i can do something with that subject)
