COLLAB2021 – If You Wanna Have Some Fun – NATURE FG

[Austin Dunham]

Thank you @ullreym.

I may very well do a “beautiful” collection and do a much higher res version of the tree there. . . or at least the tree’s bark and limbs.

My latest iteration of the foreground bush:

Incorporating Jonathan Lampel’s shader feedback instantly improved the shape of individual leaves as well as the overall bush. Pretty happy with the direction this is going heading into week 4.

Looks great @artifact , Lord Lampel knows his stuff with shader’s I’ve heard 😉

@adrian2301 Oh, that he does!

[Matthew Ullrey]

@artifact This style of creating bushes and trees is so painterly. I love it. Keep up the great work!

Thanks @ullreym

Hey Nature Peeps, an update on my foreground bushes: seeking more defination and lower poly counts, I deviated a tiny bit from my earlier approach and came up with this:

Not only am I super happy as to how its turning out, using GN to distribute the alpha leaves card results in a triangle count of 2! (The 2 extra triangles in the stats above are for the floor plane)

The above render is with basic diffuse texture only. Yet to dig into the materials.

And even with the leaf cards joined, the bush is still really low poly; only 2578 triangles.

Though I probably need spice barons   @jlampel  or @theluthier to decide if it fits with the overall style of the spice vendor’s house.

And this is how it looks in Kent’s block-out scene:

Looking nice!! I’ll reply in the WIP thread 

[Tobias Schmid]

I have finished my bushes, waiting for implementing =)

It was a long way, but i achieved my goals to have fun and learn new cool stuff.

[Matthew Ullrey]

@benkroft You put the “stick” in fantastic! Those little twigs really add a fun quality to the bush!

Guys, this is my week 4 update of the foreground bushes, incorporating material advice from nature guru Jonathan Lampel.

 There’s a bit of z-fighting issues to solve on some of the bushes which I should be done with by tomorrow. All in all, I’m pretty happy with the results.

amazing work guys. Those are nice bushes. Perhaps we could get an overview of all members of our team who are finished how the assets look ? (all in one post). as for me what should i focus on to finish of the flowers ? just make leaves and stems or should i do some extra things ? still gonna try to finish it off

[yukino hatake]

question, is it possible for a plane to follow the camera so you could create a illusion of a round stem of the flower. i could also use a 5sided object but if i can reduce that to a plane it would halve the amount of verticies. still dont know if its possible and what are the cons and pro of that method.
