Testing some newly made Speedtree aspen, I added some more stuff and this came out. Not perfect, but I thought I'd post anyway. PT render, took 1.5 hours at detail 0.6 and AA6. Stones are fake stones. No compute terrain used :P
I hope this encourages users to get more out of TG. It's a fantastic piece of software!
They look really realistic to me. Just maybe some more straight trunked ones, as aspens are often a pretty straight trunk tree. More should be growing straight and "perfect" than twisty.
I agree with WAS because of the straight trunked look. But all the rest is perfect in my eyes :)
My first thought was: nicely irregular trunks! But if this species has mostly straight ones, you could create two species and mix them.
No problem, I can do a few straighter ones. I thought these were pretty straight already, but there are all sorts. Especially the Ruskie trees are really bent :P
I see you're right.
I personally had always types like in zon-1988487.jpg in my mind if I think of aspens. The only difference seems to be that they are bend but in a larger area. Anyway aspens are a beautiful kind of tree :)
Nice image, I really like those aspens! I've spent a lot of time around aspen colonies, some of the oldest living organisms on the planet. Quite often the terrain and snow accumulation pushes and distorts the young 'shoots' and with the snow melt their heliotropism resumes a 'straight' growth, often distorted again by subsequent seasonal snow. So, yeah they'll grow straight up, but Nature likes to mess around with things. ;)
Speedtree has to be one of the best designed programs I've ever used; from the beautifully functional UI, to the incredible output, and the sheer creative freedom that makes the program just plain fun to use (yes, Fanboy language...)
Always a pleasure to see you create an Alpine scene!
Thanks Doug. Well, you get what you want, as here's another Alpine scene I did yesterday ;)
And a redo of the aspen one, with some straighter ones added, and a lenticular cloud.
Beautiful!
Very nice. Path traced I would guess?
Fabulous work!
Yes, PT. It seems faster with every new build.
Great, Ulco! I also like the moss-covered rock formations!
Oak and Aspen is wonderful!
Lovely!
