@ullreym I can’t get it to crash Blender:

Tried without and with the Vertex Group, Adding the Particle System in Edit and Object Mode… all worked fine.

I think it was Ingmar, who also had crashes…when selecting things with LCS….

I am using a 9 year old Linux machine….

But the Particle System is quite old and maybe it’s a system or OS related bug…( I guess your drivers are up to date?)

Maybe try Geometry Nodes, as it way easier to control and randomize the leaves there.

But if you’ve got a workaround…

@artifact Really nice. This looks so good. How lowpoly is it? i have 2500 verts per bush.

I did a similar leaf setup, but instead of geometry i use a handpained leaf texture with alphamask.

Your shader looks aready good too.

Thanks @benkroft  It’s quite low poly: the leaf/twig geometry has 224 verts and the base geometry for distributing the leaves has 189 verts.  Like you, I also looked into using alpha mapped planes, and I’m still researching that technique incase it proves to provide better performance in Eevee. The leaf shader is a really simple setup I used to visualize the bush at render time:

Check out my WIP thread for an extremely light solution for bushes. You probably can use more polys than I can though.

Thanks for giving it a try. It was a frustrating experience to be certain. I’m using the 2013 Mac Pro that looks a bit like a rubbish bin you’d find in the Death Star. The OS is up to date, but some of the graphics hardware stopped working with Blender 2.8. 

I will certainly look into the Geometry Nodes. 😃

Hi everyone,

I’m super late to the party due to some internet trouble. I signed up for some flowers, will catch up this week. I was wondering if any choice has been made as to location and season of the setting? I would like to model flowers that would actually bloom in the specific place and time of year.

I’d say, look at the artwork and let that inspire you:

The short shadows suggest that it is summerly… but it’s art, not stylized realism…there are definitely flowers that do not fit in this scene, but do not feel too restricted to what might realistically grow here.

It has been said, that Melvin the magician sells his spices here, that get transported over the water by a whale???

Hey, i Just finished some basic meshes for rocks. I’m sorry for being inactive there was some confusion in which asset i requested. these rocks have only one solid color and have BASIC normal maps that i applied when i was bored and did some sculpting. let me know your though on my first homework submission. 

EDIT. Can everyone who is working on rocks comment on this post. I think it would be better if we combined our knowledge to make the single best rocks possible

[Damian Czujkowski]

How can I get these nice gradations from darker to lighter colour without lightning, only nodes??

@dyoc I gave a short answer in your WIP post.

I can give you some more explanations, but I would suggest that you first play around with those Node setups a bit and try to understand what is going on 😉

Ill try spikeyxxx, Thx!

[Damian Czujkowski]

I MADE NEON BUSH :))))  Can we us it?🤣 🤣 🤣 

Thx spikeyxxx gradient achieved 🙂

[yukino hatake]

now that looks cool 😀 

glowing bush in the dark , melvin sure do know how to create awesome potions for special effects 😀
instead of watering the plants he is giving some extra potions with strange things to spice up the whole area

[Damian Czujkowski]

Hi the3dbanana, I’m not in the rock team, but I have something interesting for you guys. Try check this tutorial.
