with clouds, and lower altitude on frame 2

C&C welcome.

I wish it was rendered with more detail. The cypress does help.

Zairyn Arsyn · May 27, 2010, 09:35:39 AM

soon as i perfect it a little more i will do some high detail renders, i think i did last one at .5 or .6 it has a bit of motion blur on it... i thought i turned it down some?

last night i bought Dune's Swamp Cypress pack,

and added 2 Cypress knees.

i will post a render (high detail, high AA) with the knees later when i get home from work.

when Hannes did a short animation, it gave me a urge to make a animation too, along with the fact that i have'nt really done TG2 animations myself.

how do i get rid of the flickering? increase the quality? or is it something else?

i am also going to rename this project, i just haven't came up with a new name yet.

The flickering in this case looks like very low antialaising. What were your render settings?

settings- Detail: 0.4 AA: 3, mitchell netravali filter.

i'm trying it again at a detail of 0.6 and 5 AA
will post results when its done.

I didn't read all the posts, but did you check "raytrace objects"? If for some reason not, what's the render quality of your objects?
Anyway If you want to animate a scene with plants I would recommend an AA of at least 9 and the Cubic B-Spline filter. This one is really very soft, but in animations it looks great.

Zaai, you may have the reflectiveness in some of your tree models too high. You may want to blend them down a little. I'm only basing that on the amount of flicker you were getting off certain trees.

Zairyn Arsyn · June 03, 2010, 01:55:16 PM

i'll check that, i'm not sure what their reflective values are, i don't think i changed them..
next chance i get i'll fix them if needed.

Zairyn Arsyn · June 04, 2010, 08:55:43 AM

the reflective values of the leaves were at 0

i'm also rendering a hi resolution still for the heck of it.

Zairyn Arsyn · June 05, 2010, 09:59:59 AM

new render with new textures for monoliths.

Hannes · June 05, 2010, 11:43:03 AM

Wow, that looks really great. The ivy is really the icing on the cake.
