Another quick one...

+ Bamboo modeled and bent with Wigs3D, exported via Poseray.

+ Hundred of copies placed and transformed randomly in front of the camera.

+ Single texture, applied to each copy after a random transform.

+ The texture is a simple texture_map using "gradient y", and involving
a tricky AOI layer using pigment_pattern to add turbulence.

+ Big area light for the sun, plus a simple white sphere for the sky dome.

+ A mayang.com picture was put in the background to avoid adding
geometry just for a blurry forest.

+ Renders in about 15min on a Phenom II X4... that's why I haven't
resisted to render a lot of variants with different random seeds.

   The AOI layer it's the real trick: before adding it, the texture
looked very flat and plastic-like. Thanks to it I even avoided using
media or sslt, as it seems to make the texture enough convincing.

   No, sorry, I'm going to keep it simple for the next bunch of images,
as I'm trying to find inspiration again through simple ideas.

Yes, that's an excellent trick I want to explore further in this kind of 
context. I had not yet realized all its potentialities...
