Hello Hannes.
Could i ask you what settings did you use for the large green leaves in the lower right side of the image. Translucency/specular ? maps ?
Nice sense of depth in the image. well done.

Sure. It's just a regular image map for the diffuse color and an opacity map for the cut out. I used a translucency value of 1 with a bright yellowish green color (no map). Specularity is set to 0.2.
That's basically it.

And welcome to the forum!

Thanks Hannes for the welcome and the information.
I have been trying to plug your shaders from NWDA into my plants to get glossy/translucent effects with no luck.
I will try the settings you mentioned.
Thanks!

Colour me inspired by this. I'm recreating a memory of a glorious morning 40+ years ago awaking to this scene out my tent door at Pansy Farm in Southern Manitoba. I'll be posting it in a separate thread though as this is Hannes' show here.
