Well, I was to impatient to watch all those leaves being rendered,
so I tried something different:



Grass shader by dandelO, tree and bad resolution by me.
And before you ask: it smells like freshly cut grass!

That's actually a fantastic idea, well done! You could really refine this into some very abstract water-colour type image. I love the originality. 8)

Interesting and nice , Mahnmut  :)
Reminds me of some images of rock band album covers.

RArcher

Amazing!  I would like to see you do the rest of the image in the same style.

Saurav

This is actually pretty cool, agree with others about the style.

Awesome. Look's like that tree just caught a bunch of (green) cotton in it's rather small amount of branches. Looks real good!
Heard of computer graphics? CG? Terragen 2, the landscape generating program, also known as TG, a whole cool way to create realistic CG - with TG.

wow that's really nice ! agree with Ryan, hoping to see more of this style !

like toxic fungus spores....very original and cool!

Hi

Excellent Idea!
Did you try a lower quality for the cloud,
maybe it look better and faster, if rendered from distance!?

If you used a high haze density with this, it would help with the rest of the scene to have a watercolor look.
Great idea. The tree is quite interesting.

Thanks for all your kind words!
Ok, here is the all-cloud version.
Planets surface is disabled, all you see is atmosphere (and the tree object of course.)
It really looks a bit water-colour-like.
What I tried to do was more like surrealism, Magritte for example.
Anyway, it works more or less.



I am not that content with it though, it looks just like a simple tg-landscape made of simple tg clouds- that´s what it is.
If I could get some of the grandeur of the really sophisticated cloudscapes into an interesting groundbased scene, that would be something. Maybe I have to look into the shared clouds thread.
@ njeneb: do you mean the tree model or the cloud idea when you say interesting?
I tried to make a model that looks quite different from different sides to be useful in populations, but didn´t use it that way yet.
Problems with the leaves.
Best regards,
Jan

Both. But the idea of using a cloud for leaves is more intriguing.
