Hi, this is my latest model, I hope you like it.
The model is based on one of the illustrations made by Zoe Persico for the children book “Summer Color!” written by Diana Murray
The hardest part of this part of this project was the trees, I wanted to achieve an handpainted style with a good volume, so I created a transparent texture with all the brush strokes that I needed.
Then I started to copy-paste tons of single planes while moving the uv on the brush strokes that I wanted to use.
Very nice - I was impressed to see how 3D everything was - with such a convincing 3D style, I thought it was mostly going to be planes with images on!
Very impressed with how you managed to get this painterly children’s book style in 3D.
My only complaint is I would have liked to see you do some trickery so that the reflections in the puddles didn’t just move with the puddles as textures.
I placed most of the planes one by one because I wanted to reach a realistic handpainted style, a particle system would have been too much random, at least with my knowledge of particles
