Hiar for tree foilage, bushes, etc?

[Kelley]

Looking at Wm.Sutton's Mr.Dodo, in which he used the hair function for feathers, I'm wondering if anyone's used it for masses of vegetaion. Seems an umbrella-like dome could be duped and stacked to form treetops. Smaller ones with dodo-like 'feathers' could serve as bushes.

All the tree I made for TWO use hair for leaves. I use alot of hair materials for the outdoor sets.

Today's efforts. It's a start. Texturing the hair/grass, etc. tomorrow. [castle modeled after one found in a Mike Mignola 'Hellboy' story.]

Black Mage: When I replied to your textures posting, I failed to notice your second one with the 'Room & Tree'. Nice tree. Here's the final on the lake house. Tonight I'm going to try to build a water plane with lake ripples. We'll see what we see.

Thanks guys. Here's the final. The little flying sprites are Mike Mignola again. [as was the drawing that was the impetus for doing the house.] I've been delving into the Hellboy graphic novels and every coupl'a pages I see something that's drawn so tight and sculptural, that I want to model it. I think I will look back on this as my Mignola Phase.
