ok... I just got the meshmaker and had time to play a little... I set this scene up a week or so ago... it's not perfect... I can't seem to render it now :( It stays stuck at 1minute... let it sit for over an hour and it didn't budge... soooo... i'm stuck with this grainy one I rendered last week. I'm sure meshmaker is on overload in this scene even though it's pretty simple... I put it on the land and the leaves (note the square leaves... didn't have time to add the transparancy leaf shape back)... I'll have to play some more with a new scene.. in the mean time... I think it's a pretty neat winter scene. ENJOY!
YAY.. yes please :)
Looks like a park we have here in Ohio called Hocking Hills :) Lovely place... Specially in the fall! Now ya just need a waterfall coming down that mountain cliff!
King of the hill. Yes, very nice.
I need maple trees. They have the best fall colors.
That actually looks very nice, even with the square leaves. I might not have even noticed if you hadn't pointed it out. The lighting and coloring gives it a real winterly feel. I've put MeshMaker on my wishlist, based on the great work you and paulawp (marahzen) are doing with it here.
The renders are lovely by everyone. I had MeshMaker in my cart one day, but forgot, went to bed with out paying out, and it was full price the next day. Always a sale.
One thing that reminded me of something I heard on my local news last week from a scientist about leaves, the colors are like layers, the greens overlay all, but as the sun is lessened by Fall, the yellows and reds and purples have a chance to come forward. Depending on the tree's nature.
I wonder if a shader set could be created that simulated that effect through a masking system like we use for hair colors? Using different patterns for the different leaf styles, shades of yellows, oranges, burnt umber, orchre, pale red, deep red, magenta, purple, mahogany... and density (? not sure if that is correct). And allow it to be applied selectively to a branch, or section based upon when you would have the day's sunlight hitting or not.
(Sorry this is a bit incoherent, I am sick with a bug.)
Just UltraScenery and the animals...
Always a pleasure to render images with UltraScenery.
... and the same render postworked ...
Just wonder, if any of them looks better ...
I like the 4th one.
OK, I have to ask. How did you put it on the leaves? What options are you selecting for that?
As noted, I do everything with primitives, particularly planes.
Sorry it took so long to respond.. I had to remember what I did... lol. There is a shader called REAL SNOW SHADER in meshmaker... I just applied it to all the leaves on the trees and the terrain... I guess I didn't really use the script then.. Hum... Gonna have to play some more. Here's the new scene with minimal trees (for quicker rendering I turned off all the rocks... logs... grasses.. etc) and then reapplied the leaf opacity map to the trees so now the leaves are not square. :)
Interesting effect. I didn't think to try that.
I use that Meshmaker shader for the surface of the plane that I have at the bottom of my scene, like for the snow under the girl's feet. But, silly me, I could always use it as a shader actually on an original object I suppose ...
Oh yes... that's another way to do it... I love these threads... we get such great ideas from everyone... I'm working on another render without leaves... They would be gone by winter anyway... It's almost ready... wait for it... waaaaaaaaaaitttt! lol
Great winter landscapes, LLola Lane.
Applying the shader to the leaves looks great on the background trees (and decent enough in the foreground), but maybe a couple of regular, non-instanced trees in front of the camera with the actual meshmaker used on them would sell the scene better? Just a thought, I have yet to experiment with it, despite buying it on release. It's still a gorgeous scene, and the shader works perfectly on the ground.
OMG... Thank you paulawp (marahzen)... for reminding me I had MeshMaker!!!! I'm lovin' it and like Barb said... I've got great winter landscapes!!! yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy (thanks Barb)
Here's my simple scene without leaves... The trees sparkle just like they do up north here in the winter... I LOVE IT!!! Next I am going to make a proper 'scene' ;)
TOTALLY agree Uthgard... I've only been playing for about 24hours so I'm still experimenting. But I'm happy I have my winter landscapes. :)
+1 .. not sure what you did to make #4 look so nice... but it's great!
Totally get that... and it will be interesting experiment...but right now I'm into snow! LOL. I hope you feel better soon... and you GOTTA get MeshMaker next sale ;) (fingers crossed for ya)
Thanks for your comment. Will keep it in my mind.
Thanks a lot for the comment. Will make more images with such settings, then.
I am very grateful for the other people opinions.
Wetland 2 preset and the horse...
Happy horsey :) YAY!
Thanks for the comments.
Has changed the time of the day for the sun light.
Just wonder, if it looks more interesting or not?
Personally.. I like the original lighting better... This one seems not so 'sunny'... But that's just me. It's hard to please everyone I've found so I just please myself. Hard to know when to quit 'tweaking' though... I'm workin' on that part. lol
...and I almost never render anything in bright sunlight. I absolutely looooooove tinkering with early morning/late afternoon sun-sky render settings. Then, of course, there's my murky fog and cloudy skies. But what's so nice is that's there's myriad options for everyone in this regard.
agreed... and... I hardly ever do dark and gloomy... I try but it's hard for me.. I'm a pretty sunny person. Even a few days without the sun affects my mood. I have found that the kind of day I am having reflects in my artwork. lol :)))))
Thanks for the comments, @Llola Lane and @paulawp.
Good to know the different thoughts.
