It's lilac time !!!

FrankB · August 21, 2009, 02:41:30 PM

Hi,

I have had the pleasure of testing Walli's next product: an elaborate lilac, with lavish blossoms.
Fell in love with those two immediately. Check out the render below.

A little side info, in case you're curious. The grasses are Walli's Fresh Grass 2 primarily, and some from Fresh Grass 1.
The wall is a little something I'm working on, hoping to perfect the technique for it some day. It just seemed to me that the lilac would fit nicely against this wall.

What do you think?

Cheers,
Frank

and another "shot" from Walli himself, pulling the lilac a little closer:

That looks amazing! The grasses are perfect, the lilacs are detailed and complex and even the wall looks really great.

the first one is lovely... reminds me of my childhood... looking for ants on the ground near the grandma's house's wall

the grass looks like plastic in the second shot.

Wow! Everything looks superb; the grass, the wall, the flowers, it all looks great!

Go to the "underground" and make one on your own ;-)

huhuhuhuhuhu
touché !

Gorgeous... both of them. I do have to agree with Seth, the grass does look a tad plastic in the second image (maybe lighting/diffuse or something)... still an amazing image.
Cheers,
Simon.

I'd say too much reflective

FrankB · August 22, 2009, 05:14:14 AM

It's suposed to be like morning dew, so it seems correct to me that the grasses are very reflective in this case.
You have probably seen a grassy field or lawn that is wet from morning dew, so if you try to remember, it really shines a lot- especially with the sun close into the FOV.

I understand you folks when saying it looks to much reflective and plastic like. But I think the main problem is simply that you won´t find that type of grass on such a hill, its more like lawn in a garden and therefor the scaling would be off.

Seth · August 22, 2009, 07:41:30 AM

oh it's kinda garden lawn ?
i understand the feeling now. thanks for the explaination

now i can go back on IM and tease Frank a little more with that !!!

I need to sneeze. I'm allergic to lilacs. Just the picture is enough. Get (bless me) render!
