photoman Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Hi! I finally managed to get settled in with my classes ! So I know have enough time to start a new project! I plan to make a fall scene and maybe transition it over to a Halloween scene.... Here is what I got so far, it is very rough needs some work: The grass needs to be thicker and better distributed and the pumpkin looks a bit uniform. Also the lighting isnt final, its just a single sun-light. C&C Welcome Photoman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted September 12, 2009 Admin Share Posted September 12, 2009 You are off to a good start. The horizontal nature of the scene (reflected in the horizon and the fence on the left) might work well for you as you add more and more detail to the tree and the pumkin(s) underneath.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted September 12, 2009 Hash Fellow Share Posted September 12, 2009 good start. things i notice: -the leaves are too flat. maybe model a few curled ones to mix in with the sprite leaves. -the branches are too smooth. Gnarl them up some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeSlice Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I just googled pictures of pumpkins. You might get better results if you just paint a bump map for it. Most pumpkins don't seem to have a lot of depth in their contours. If you want a really bumpy pumpkin - peak the CPs that lay in a crevice (the horizontal splines running through the CPs, not the vertical ones.) Then set the bias for the horizontal splines running through the CPs on the RIDGES of the pumpkin to some very hight number. You'll have to experiment - 300 might be a good starting point. It will create wide smooth ridges with deep hairline crevices in the pumpkin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photoman Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 Update! I did some adjustments here and there. Added the background which is a very low res render of hills, I will render a higher res one for the final render. Tweaked the tree, added the pumpkin and created a displacement map for both. I feel like the foreground is empty, I want to add something but I dont know what to add. Ideas? Photoman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted September 14, 2009 Hash Fellow Share Posted September 14, 2009 I think clumping the grass was an improvement. I feel like the foreground is empty, I want to add something but I dont know what to add. Ideas? Some small stones scattered around on the dirt might help. there's a scatter plugin that might help on that. Also, how about thinning the diameter of the close up grass? it's like pencils right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
