This is an image that's been in the making since the surrealism round of the
IRTC last summer. There are 50,000 blades of grass, placed by a macro that
Tim Nikias helped me with greatly. The flowers are each composed of 200
scaled spheres with one "end" in the center and the other distributed evenly
around a spherical shell. This spherical shell points were generated by
another macro, this one entirely written by Tim Nikias. These flowers were
then placed on the same heightfield surface that the grass in on by the same
macro.
Anyhow, I'm very pleased with the flowers, grass, and lighting. However,
the visible slice of sky seems quite blank (especially since it is). I'm
not sure what to do. Stars and clouds, or what? I'm sort of lost about it
all. What do YOU think?
Thanks,
Frank

Normally, when seeing a grass-plain, I'd say: go for a nice blue sky, with
nice clouds and a sun. In this case though, I'd say give the scene a little
more light, but use a nightsky with stars, a few clouds and a nice moon. The
scene, with this dark lighting but with those nice glowing, red flowers,
looks really... peaceful to me, I guess.
Regards,
Tim

I definitely want to stay away from any bright blues :) However, I'm open
to the night sky, and Chris Colefax's galaxy plugin is an old favorite of
mine. However, I may try a different route as well.
Oh, and I'm glad you find them peaceful. That was my intention.
Thanks,
Frank

When I look at this, with a little bit different of scaling, I see ants
watching fireworks. If you use stars for a background, a lightning-bug
might keep it from looking plain. On another glance at the great looking
flowers, I think you could modify your code to make some interesting
underwater creatures. Anyways, these are just some thoughts I had as I saw
your render. Good luck with whatever you decide to finish it off with.
