Hmmm? That last wine might have a fishy aroma?

EscapeArtist · 21 May 2010, 01:44

It seems the wine has nice body...

TIG · 21 May 2010, 08:51

Too much wine == furry tongue next morning ?

Underwater fur.

joppermann · 24 May 2010, 14:36

Oh wow tallbridgeguy. That is a fantastic use for the plug in. Great render!

fymoro · 24 May 2010, 14:41

Wow!!! Is it true ? Really amazing...

olishea · 24 May 2010, 15:24

yeah its great, how did you achieve that underwater feeling?

tallbridgeguy · 24 May 2010, 21:54

Thanks guys!

I essentially built the scene during a work break using a fish from the google warehouse. (xpmouse) Throw the fish in a green bathtub, add some rocks, grass and fur....

I like the fact the image was made with su and kerky. No post pro at all. (I really think the fur plugin is cool.)

A couple more arty versions without any post pro.

fymoro · 25 May 2010, 19:04

Wow Hieru, that second image is awesome...

Hieru · 25 May 2010, 19:04

First off I'd like to say how amazing this plugin is - thanks for a brilliant resource!!!!!

I haven't tried anything too wacky and I've mostly spent my time trying to think of ways of creating all sorts of plants, trees and shrubs.

Here's my attempt at a 'shaped' bush/hedge:

I'm not completely happy with the realism of the model, but I'll try experimenting with different leaf sizes and mixes. The shape isn't right either (too regular) and makes me think of a Dalek in camouflage -

Hieru · 25 May 2010, 19:10

Thanks Fymoro

I was surprised at the results considering that I just downloaded the Dalek from the 3D Warehouse and quickly applied the leaves using the same presets as the bush.

I suppose it just goes show how important your lighting and environment is to a render. I'm new to rendering so I hope that the bush/hedge will look a lot better in a more realistic setting.

olishea · 27 May 2010, 15:03

yeah that image is sweet!

I used fur plugin today to make some marketing images for a housing association. its supposed to be a postcard for their carbon neutral "Code 6" homes.

I scattered one of Solo's ivy leaves to the gabion wall and the front of the house. I then intersected some 3D text with the road and then grew some grass!

Good bit of fun, but I had to place everything on hidden layers. 95MB file size lol. yes its tacky but this is what they wanted!

michaliszissiou · 27 May 2010, 15:45

This is a fine render, fish is modeled in another app though. And fish is that makes the deference...

oops you updated your post, so, these last too are great renders, amazing

And here is the clip map/alpha

Thanks for sharing.

Had a quick play. Used the fur plugin to distribute a plane with a transparent grass image I made. Worked fairly well. Image attached if anyone else wants to have a go.

Let me just make one request:
Like Solo and EarthMover, could you share Their techniques and components (maps, textures) of grass.

Mask - Alpha
