Countryside Scene
5 Attachment(s)
SwatSnipe and others have inspired me to try my own nature scene, so I'm jumping on the bandwagon.
Started with Maya Paint Effects for the trees and shrubs, converting to polys and replacing the leaves on the trees with double sided shaders. A lot of test rendering. I want to create a rich fern filled forest scene using mostly mr render proxies, I'm looking forward to pushing the memory limits. |
Looking good so far. I'll be watching this. :)

me too havent seen a vegetation thread in a while. I always do enjoy them

Great Thread.
I can already feel some heat coming from your Cpu..:D I am also working on a scene nowadays with lots of vegetation. Was wondering proxies is best way to go as you can't see the shading and changes in Viewport. weren't Instancing is a better option.(just my view..:) Just to share i have use a creative crash script spPaint3d(http://www.creativecrash.com/maya/do...sc/c/sppaint3d) and it work like a charm. and another one if you are not Animating the Vegetation then you can use this one too http://www.creativecrash.com/maya/do...scatter-script Looking forward for some more progress. -dushyant |
This is also a nifty little script for tiling UVs and can be used on your leaves and also grass! Will be good to see this come together.
|
thanks! I look forward to using those scripts.
|
A great start mate :) Looking forward to seeing this! I love the shader for the rock. Is it done with mia material?
|
Btw, i would love to have the sp paint script! Would make it easier to make even better scenes. But i havn't gotten it to work in maya 2012 :(

Make sure there is a script that gives you random placement :)

Yes it's just a straight mia material with a mossy rock texture from cg textures. A slight bump too. To be honest the rock I showed previously is the new version because I had grand ideas of using high detail displacement on them from zbrush, but realised the detail would never be seen, so decided to remodel them simpler with sharper angles and no displacement. Got to keep the memory free for the foliage! I may keep the old versions for another scene someday.

Gen: I type in "spPaint3d" and it says "result: spPaint3d" But nothing pops up :S
Btw toddster. What's your shading setup for the plants? Got translucensy in there? |

Yes, translucency on the leaves, although it's a fine line between enough and too much. Also double sided shader with different coloured leaves seems to add more variance to the trees. I've searched a few forums for the best way to do this - the way I've done it is physically incorrect but seems to work alright when I turn the weight down on the materials so they don't get burnt out.

Ah, i See :) i could send you one of my scene files with leaves
|
@ SwatSnipe
All the files are there? There should be 5: spPaint3d.mel spPaint3dContext.py spPaint3dContext.pyc spPaint3dGui.py spPaint3dGui.pyc @ toddster What are the leaf shader settings like? I've tooled around with piping the texture through a mult/div and into the translucency, got pretty good results. |
