Homework Submission – Week 3 – Foreground Bushes
For week 3, I made the material enhancements suggested by Jonathan Lampel: added specularity (0.25), translucency and subtle color variations to the leaf texture. As seen below, this instantenously improved the render: individual leaf shapes are much more “readable” here, as is the overall bush silhouette.
I wasn’t quite sure on how to go about using a larger 3d procedural noise as Jonathan suggested. And my attempt to incorporate the gradient texture from Kent’s Thursday casual stream also hit a brick wall. Added to Week 4 homework research.
