I'm afraid I can't compete in the area of realistic plants.
So, here's a garden full of spring flowers.
This is one last WIP pic. I plan to make a few more changes before the deadline. Thanks for the feedback. I'll definitely add an intermediate tree.
nice but I liked the naive art figure you rigged too
we all have our Daz dollies but that was unique
lol ☺
It was a fun look, but It is still the same model that I rigged. I just changed the pose angle, hair shader, lighting, etc. Unfortunately, I had to return to the default hair shader. I just can't get Carrara's hair to look the way I imagine it. I guess I should revisit Wendy's youtube tutorial on rigged prop hair and weightmaps. That is very good, and I probably could get the hair to look the way I want. But, this month is about plants, so I won't obsess about the hair. (Is it obsessive to keep telling myself not to obsess about the hair?)
I did not realize it was the same figure,
Ha ha, that's wonderfully creatively gorgeous :) gave me a big chuckle,

ah, you can be obsessed about anything you want - just as long as you can make plants out of it
the scene is very relaxing, like having a fruit picking holdiday and getting to eat what you pick :)
seriously I made some grass with the hair thingy tother day gave it a frizz shader and it looked like real overgrown grass, but it took too long to render so I dumped it
that top one makes me think of one of those games where you fly obver terrain and blow things up :)
better keep the entries to still renders?
that way it makes the ":challenge" more accessable to more people?
by the way I hope you realise my Maze was a homage to your work Wendy, not trying to run away with the maze idea !(
Andrew Finney... when you hired me to prune in your maze... and then you said that I would enjoy it better if you set me into the heart of it with a teleportation spell... you didn't say that you made no way to win the maze! So... how the heck do I get back out of here now?
Very cool, my friend!
Wendy and the rest of you... I only saw that there are many more pages and links to peek at. I'll be back. This is looking very Very cool!
Not sure if the rules allow for yet another change, but I just might have some sort of prize ready for all place winners here. I'm very proud of every entrant here.
Dart, you are very kind :) Thank you, we can always change the rules to allow more prizes!!
Maybe you could save them up for the next challenge because you have been more than generous.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By the way, you are the JUdge for the Highly Commended - I didn't tell you. ;)
PS best way to get out of the maze is not with the Harry Potter, you know what happened to Cedric. ....
animations are what I do, but I expected it will have to be a still render so posted some.
as to which is my entry?
still working on more scenes to my ani so more coming
I will pick one frame for the entry when done
(and Guzzi it up a bit with better lighting etc)
Hey Wendy :)
No need to decide what to enter till 17th June 12 Midnight Daz time.
http://www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_US-UT.aspx
I made the entry thread here:
http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/23635/
Just for Entries at the moment till voting starts, then open slather.
:)
Very creative! I really like the gnome peeking over the flowers in the background.
I took a short break from my image to play around with another idea I've had for some time - close up of dew drops in a morning field of flowers.
This is not a submission for the challenge because the flowers are actually from a picture. I suppose I'll get around to completing this idea by adding my own flowers, sky, and HDRI background. Just not enough time before next week.
FD
Brilliant idea FD, the concept of a close up reflecting the closer "universe" is superb.
Those droplets looked great even on my Kindle (I checked it last night but couldn't reply)
cheers
Thanks! Motivation to pursue this soon. Was thinking more stem details, more flowers, and an hdri background would look very nice.
pleasure, gah it's the 13th, better get a work on myself :)
started on my grotto plants
Monstera deliciosa https://www.box.com/s/tsws4rzv7nt5a4ax0yhv
prob needs work but anyone can have it
Maybe a coincidence. ;-)
Have you seen that: Tiny weeds by Nobiax ?
Two more days and the competition is high. Let's see what you've got, folks!
sidetracked
No... Wendy! Focus! LOL
Wow, this is a tough call so far. There are some really nice renders in here. High praise to Head Wax for dragging such inspiration out into the open, and kudos to all whom have come to answer the call!
Bravo... Bravo!!!
something came up
and I am under a non-disclosure clause about just what it is.
will try to squeeze a render in tomorrow at the nth hour!
my beta testing sidetrack is hogging Carrara at the moment!!
(not Daz involved either!)
Much too hard? Now where is that whip ? :)
OK, fine! Here's my final wip image. As I said in the beginning, I decided to make this into a fairy image for my new fairy series, so I did. The fairy is a V4 using just about every morph she's got. The texture comes from RDNA from a vendor called Arki. The texture set comes in a bundle called Orchid Faes. Only beginning to scratch the surface with that bundle. Her hair is Carrara dynamic hair created by yours truly.
This is the final image straight out of Carrara before post work. I'm going to run over to the contest thread and post the final in a bit.
Thanks Wendy downloading now, looks like a handy mesh to have hanging on my verandah :)
thanks for that ,
what a good collection to grow out of nooks and cranny's in renders :)
:) I'm looking forward to seeing this released Dart, you've worked long and hard, I'm sure it will be a winner,
Oh I had a glass of wine last night, now I can't find my head, i think it is stil on the pillow ....

that's one fine image David, the foreground reminds me of some PreRaphalite work I have seen.
There's some great images popping up in the challenge thread.
:) (that's a smile gif)
It's heartwarming to see the wonderful work that Carrara can produce!
thanks for that ,

Just looking through Nobiax's gallery there. He's got a ton of very useful stuff. :)
