😂 No worries, Spikey. Plenty of reminders around me these days, I’m afraid.

Hi , I would love to join Nature team

[spikeyxxx]

We welcome you Damian!

Got any idea what you’d like to make yet?

Hello Team, 

honored to be working with you all 🙂

I chose the creek.

Best

hey guys, since i am a lover of nature i decided to come here and try some flowers 🙂
so i know we cannot use subdivision modifier but we are allowed to use the geometry subdivision node ?

still am not good with nodes so it will be messing around i guess :p

[spikeyxxx]

Welcome Florian. Glad to have you with us!

Not really a surprise that you chose the creek 😉

I hope you share a bit of the workflow in your WIP thread. I don’t know anything about flowmaps (was that what they are called?) and I’d love to learn!

Hi there,

I’m excited to work on the ivy. I’m familiar with the sapling add-on and blender particle system. However, the ivy will probably need a lot of hand-crafting. I’m glad to be joining this team!

Hi Yuki,  welcome!

We do not use the Subdivision Surface Modifier to smooth out shapes, but if you subdivide a Plane for instance, because you need more Vertices,  then that is okay. So it is important how and why you would use that node.

Geometry Nodes was first created for set dressing, so it seems logical to me to use it in our case, but everybody is completely free to use whatever method she/he wants of course!

I’d suggest to use little geometry and textures with an Alpha, to create things like leaves and grass blades, because there will be a lot of them and I don’t want to destroy Kent’s computer 🤣

But we will see how everything goes.

Welcome Fabian!

I wouldn’t recommend using the Sapling Addon for the ivy, there is a dedicated Ivy Generator in Blender:

Works really well!

I will look up some tutorials on how to use it.

This scene is so lovely, its difficult to decide, but I’m most exited about FG/MG Bushes and MG trees, eventually Creek or Stones, but finally I’m really flexible, if need help somewhere I do my best.

[yukino hatake]

ya that is so true xD got mine destroyed once, trough he was already a few years old, but still it caught fire and that was terifying, so i better dont do that to anyone else :p

as for the textures with an alpha what do you mean with that ?

[spikeyxxx]

@dyoc every category is already occupied, but MG Bushes and Creek only have one person so far.

Just look in the Asset List, the orange triangles at the top right of each field denote that someone wants to do it.

[spikeyxxx]

You can use an Alpha or just paint a leaf (for instance) on a black background like so (only nicer painting 😉):

[yukino hatake]

ow nice to know 🙂 indeed then i dont need to model the curving of that object 🙂

[spikeyxxx]

No, but I would give the Plane a few more Vertices, so you can bend it a bit…it’s too flat now.
