hi bob,
thanks for the comments. one of the things i became aware of while
doing this scene is how important every little thing is, such as lighting,
camera postion, and textures. especially lighting. i see a lot of
discussion about lighting in the good images. seems like radiosity
and the inevitable long render times come into play often.
i wanted the rays of sun to be visible, and i played with media for a
very long time. it finally came down to building a ray-shaped mesh and
containing the media inside the mesh, but in the end it didn't look good
and the renders were taking so long that every incremental adjustment
i made took a lot of time so i bailed on it.
i took a ready-made patch of grass that gilles had done and tiled the
yard in. i needed thicker grass so i overlapped them quite a bit, and
i attempted to put a random offset and rotation on the tiling job. i ended
up with a really nice looking macro that didn't seem to do a darn thing
as far as getting rid of the rows. and yes, the rows are my fault, not
gilles.
and no, no, no! you're spozed to ask me if I wanna meet YOUR sister!
thanks again, miker
