Title: Desert composition
Post by: Antoine on August 05, 2013, 01:26:36 AM
I have done a new scene, a desert this time. With the much improved GI in the version 3, it adds a lot of realism in the shadow area.
I wanted to add some desert shrubs here and there but I don't have any. There were some of these in the NWDA store but unfortunately it seems to be closed for a time now. does someone know if they are avalaible in some other store ?
I looked at Silva3d but I didn't see any of these there.

That's a really nice looking scene already. Great surface texturing, and the detail in the shadows is indeed quite nice.

Xfrog has a large selection of objects, I think you can buy them individually now, and they ought to have something that would fit. Or any other random OBJ format plant model vendor really.

Thank Oshyan,

I have the Xfrog superbundle (vol1) along with the software, but there is no suitable shrub for desert like this one. I even search in turbosquid but I didn't see one neither.
I think what I will do in the future is to modify an existing one from the collection or to try to make one from scratch in Xfrog or TPF.

Is there a chance NWDA store open again ?

NWDA should come back, hopefully one of the NWDA folks will comment (Frank? Martin?). You might be able to adapt something by simply changing the color of an existing bush, adjust the leaf textures for example...

some excellent features here: the lighting is dramatic and the cliffs look great too, I like the cacti a lot here!

Great lighting.  I love the scatter of plants and rocks/fake-stones... looking awesome so far

The surfaces/rocks and stones and dirt are wonderful.

Excellent image Antoine, I'd only randomize the cliff strata pattern a little.
