Garden collection
-
Every stem and every leaf is a seperate group, only one level down (Component --> 86 groups)
Renders fast in Podium, Vue and Indigo (yes Indigo)I was under the impression that the new Vray handles grouped meshes better, or is it still doing that wierd disapearing group thing?
All textures have been applied to both faces, not groups/components.
-
Ok, with only one level of grouping it should be fine.
The original version had some problems where groups would not render at all. Components where fine.
In SR1.0 it seemed this was fixed, but in SR1.5 things seemed to disappear again. But this time only when you edited a group. Apparently SU doesn't report back that the group changed. But when the file is reloaded it works fine. So it should not be a problem when you just place the vegetation components out there. Only if one where to edit them. But a V-Ray user would most likely be aware of this problem anyway, so I wouldn't worry about that. -
Yes it would be nice to have trees and shrubs from Northern hemisphere. Well that is where my interest would be.
-
Technically they are, Most of these are used in Texas (mind you that's like another planet, strange weather, strange landscape and even stranger people/presidents)
-
Here is a flower that is from a temperate climate, anyone from such an environment confirm this?
Nasturtium
-
I have already started a savings account. I am placing a couple dollars on my computer every day waiting for the release, I hope that will cover it
-
Great plants
I am hoping for a Mediterranean collection pack. -
Incredible !! I love these plants !!
Great work Solo

Love Nastursiums. We plant them every spring in SE Pennsylvania and they continue to a hard frost. I believe they grow year round in areas without frost (i.e. California has tons along the ocean up as far as San Francisco). And they taste good.

...good low-poly collection Pete!
-
Nice sturtiums, Pete, They look very realistic, especially the leaves. They are a very rangy plant that crawls all over in happy disarray and the flowers tend to be floppy and rarely perfect like this, but this is fine, very fine.
-
Thanks guys, and I noticed they are very rangy, I will try modify them to look less organised.
Fern, Adenium, Daffodils and rocks.
-
Pete, your work is always amazing. I've a few requests:
A larger, denser liriope; they are very popular here, growing about 18" tall and very dense.
a hellebore (linten rose)
flowering crepe myrtle -
excellent job Pete!!!, something normal in you, the truth you can buy these plants is because they are very good and in sketchup is not always easy with vegetation so real, I guess that tell us where you can buy, grating
-
Solo these look great, I havent completely read through this thread so I apologize if I am repeating this question, but what did you use to map the textures? Im pretty sure photoshop cs4 can handle mapping on 3d objects, as well as zbrush...did you use any of these or was it in 3ds max?
-
Solo I am doing a photography collection of desert flora. Any interest or too limited in its reach.
-
Pete, I know quite a few landscape designers and architects that will jump on your collection. If I may add my requests....
More ornamental grasses. Specifically Miscanthus Gracillimus Maiden Grass, Karl Forester Feather Reed Grass and Karley Rose Fountain Grass. These are staples in northeast landscape design and something I'm currently lacking in my collection.
Just to give you a run down of what LA's in my zone (6b) would be looking for:
Perennial staples - Rudbeckia (Black Eyed Susan), Echinacea (Coneflower), Perovskia (Russian Sage), Shasta Daisy, Lavendula, Gaillardia (Blanket Flower), Autumn Joy Sedum, Hosta, Phlox, Daylilly, Huechera (Coral Bell) & Dianthus.
Evergreen Shrub staples - Boxwood, Otto Luyken Cherry Laurel, Schipkaensis Laurel, Ilex Glabra (Inkberry Holly), Pieris, PJM Rhodedendron
Flowering Shrub staples - Spirea, Knockout Rose, Hydrangea, Crape Myrtle, Weigelia, Lilac, Forsythia, Viburnum
Other things would be ornatmental trees such as weeping cherry, dogwood and flowering crabapple
Dwarf and weeping conifers such as globe blue spruce, hinoki cypress, weeping blue atlas cedar, weeping alaskan cedarThose are just a few of the many I use all the time in my designs. Even having just a few of these in 3D format would be worth the purchase of the collection.
What you posted so far would not be of much benefit to a landscape designer in my climate, except as use in annual gardens and planters, with the exception of the liriope and ferns.
Overall A+ on the modeling. I think it would behoove you to also release this collection in .vob format for Vue users, perhaps on cornicopia3d.com
-
Thanks again guys.
Adam, that's quite a list, you giving me room for a few collections there.
The first collection is nearing an end, here are a few more:
Daffodils (re-done), English meadow flowers, Hydreangeas and some generic wild flowers.
And the water lily.

Solo did u see my previous post? Still really curious how u mapped the textures
-
Steelers, sorry 'bout that.
I am planning to put my texturing process in form of a tutorial that will be available soon when the new SCF happens, I can say that it's a combination of projected textures and polygon sampling (difficult to explain, hence video is needed)
I have started setting up my 3D gardens page for soon release here : http://solosplace.com/3Dgarden.aspx
I am still posting images of the Solo 3D Garden pack1 and I explain about the textures also.
