QuoteThis the beauty of TG2, that is much more than a simple landscape generator. The power and flexibility of such a render engine will take a very long time to be completely explored.

I agree with this for sure. Imagine where we will be in even just a years time.

Lucio

I tried to follow your hints and here's a new render with different color settings on waterdrops shader, to give a more believable transparency. I made a subtle work over levels to make drops shadows over the leaf surface a bit brighter. Also tried to improve DOF a little. Full render at 800x600, no cropped


efflux

Water droplets are much improved. The DOF looks post processed but it's a hard image to apply this effect to. Maybe if you could somehow render the foreground separately from background then it would make the DOF easier to create. Superb result none the less.

Yes, superb...as Efflux so profoundly clarified.

Or "eeetsah ni-i-i-i-i-ce...uh." to quote Borat.   :D
So this is Disney World.  Can we live here?

Really amazing work Lucio!
You always seem to push the limits/raise the bar.
You could consider applying a DOF using a depth mask generated by TG2 itself.

I'd really like to see the rest of the plant/tree, must look great with those high quality textures and maps!

Holy crap! That's excellent!   :o   :)

Lucio

Oh thank you so much Martin, this thread is a real lifesaver!

I'll try to rework DOF using this technique and I'll post the results

Saurav

Lucio, the technique using z depth export out of Terragen for the depth mask should give yo much better results. You will need to add those nodes to the end of your multishader for the object/s surfaces as well. I also like the revised version better.

Lucio

Yes Saurav, I'm rendering a test map right now :)

Ok, last version

DOF is now based on correct Z-depth data, should be better now



Thanks for all your helpful hints and comments!

it's really amazing  :o
