Master chief Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Ello again i have finally be able to generate a good looking terrain for my project but have encountered a possible problem i decided to make the planet I'm on a green one with plants and such. but i digress how would be the best way to make a forest . the plants them selfs will range from small flowers to large trees and theres going to be a lot of them should they be part of the land terrain or separate entity's. any other ideas would be useful as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeSlice Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 First, you are not going to be able to populate the whole planet with plants and trees. Pick your camera angle. For close to medium distances from the camera use geometry/hair for the plants. For background, make a flat or curved patch and apply a decal of some plants and trees. When you render, set the Depth of Field so the background is blurred a little bit. Don't add stuff to areas that will not bee seen. Most of the time it's best to make each plant and each tree a separate model, then add add those plants in the chor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
