From the desert to the forest

[DocCharly65]

Waiting for my animation renderjobs I was a little bored and wanted to try something new...

...what if the desert slope goes on through an imaginary forest...
Hope it inspires for a nice sunday afternoon walk with the dog 

[attach=1]

Three floors of trees (each of them 2-3 species from xfrog USA-Conifers- / USA-West-Library)
Lowest floor mixed with some xfrog EU-Shrubs
8 layers of different xfrog Groundcover-objects

The TG-project is of course prepared to be animated some day. I can "walk" the complete 1.6 km slope but I could also stray through the forest off the path app. 200-300 m.

Yeah lets take that walk...wait I got no dog

Otherwise cool render. Like it.

[DocCharly65]

Thanks 

I have a similar problem... it looks foolisch to take my cat on the leash 


...perhaps I will change the size of the side-stones. In the desert it was ok to have that size, but in the forest I think they need not to be as big...

Looks sweet! Slow drone flight animation along the road then into the trees for a while before returning to the road!

Agree re: stone size in a forest, other wise a stellar image for a time killer. Also agree to yeah, animate a walk...could be very cool.

Nice, but maybe the stones need some dirt or green/brown stuff on them, lichen, algae, mosslike. They're very desertlike, which is strange in a dense wood.

yup....agree

[DocCharly65]

Ok wip

Ground colour / stone colour / stone size ... and some more ideas...

Unfortunately only my reserve PC is left for work... 6 years old Athlon... the i7's are all busy 
Animation is planned... but one step after the other 



...Correction: 9 years old Athlon... I bought it in 2006! - Wow - how fast time flies!

[bobbystahr]

Prolly enuff for your athlon, heh heh heh....but nope, Dune pretty well covered(pun intended) it

[DocCharly65]

 

OK... my Proll had a hard night But I think the ground with a few traces of clay-like soil looks better now.

and now... let's throw a tree branch...

For the test only a simple affordable dog-model... hhey- they want 800 bugs for the huskey, I like! 
But if I don't come to close, it's OK for the moment. (Anyway he would run away if you come to close to his branch   )
But I think I will change the dogs tree branch... I don't really like that straight piece of wood in his mouth.

Its funny, I looked at the op then scanned down to the last image. And there is that dog all of a sudden! I think that dog is going to try and bite me. If it does Im going to kick its ass! Damn dog! ... It is scary though when a dog that size comes up on you like this.

[DocCharly65]

Only want's to play... 

Here the 3D anaglyph pic for courageous people who like to shudder

Next week I will see what I can do with his tree-branch and perhaps I find a less creepy dog

[archonforest]

What glass u need for this? The red and bluish one?

Hey that do is cool and wanna play only? Cant u see?

[DocCharly65]

yes - red blue (i call it red cyan)
for adjusting I always use red cyan but for watching the finished pic I prefer line interleaved passive. (Asus and LG offer nice monitors) If needed I can upload the mpo too, but you then must check if R/L need to be reversed - depends on monitor.

Yes of course he wants to play - can you see? Clap your hands and do a little jump forward. Then he will jump and run back the road to keep his branch 

[bobbystahr]

Wow...excellent! Getting Dune-like well done!
