Hello all. It's amazing I have anything to post here at all, considering
how long it's been since I've posted here (not including previous plant
scene :). Anyway, the 'seed pods' are isosurface superellipsoids that
have been altered with a radial pigment. The plants on the ground were
inspired by a very cool dream I had a number of weeks ago. Hope you have
a pleasant Tuesday evening :)

Questions, Comments?

I think that I am done now. I will just look at all the stuff that
all the rest of you do and enjoy the ride.
Those plants from your cool dream are very much like a weed that
grows in the Southwest part of the US. The real plant has thorns,
and a spiked seed ball on the tips of the leaf stock, but other than
that looks like these.
A very good job indeed.

How'd you do the stuff on the ground? It looks drawn. I like the plant in
the middle too. I wish I had strange dreams more often. Last one I remember
was being stuck inside a bubble, and I couldn't breath, but the I woke up
and all was OK. Scary, yet hard to 'trace. :(

I really hope you don't mean that! We are all learning you know...

Each branch is a cone and 7 spheres, with a cylindrical pigment applied to each
sphere and scaled with it.

Me too.

You can tell yourself to remember your dreams when you go to sleep, and that
will help you remember them. Also, keeping a dream journal by your bed to
record dreams helps a lot.

Some people seem to shine a little brighter than others with features
like this and you are one of those people.

> We are all learning you know...

Speaking of learning...

I recall that technique you developed for adding cracks to wall surfaces
using iso pigments (?). Where is that thread ? I can't seem to find it
and I am very interested in trying that technique in the up and coming
"ruins" round of the irtc competition. Or if you care to elaborate on it
more in the unofficial patches group I would be happy to move the
conversation over there.

Ken
When I read a mention this technique by Gilles
I searched everywhere and eventually found this.

Here's the source for the peeling paint texture. You may feel the need
to
scale it down :) Be aware that you must have the superpatch to use
this code. Enjoy the new area of texture-making this
opens up!

#declare Walls=

function{
 pigment{
  granite scale 30
  color_map{
   [0 rgb 0][.1 rgb .1][.15 rgb .7][.2 rgb .75][.21 rgb 1][.25 rgb
.6][.7 rgb 0][1 rgb .5]
  }
 }
}

texture{
 pigment{
  granite scale 60
  color_map{
   [.1 rgb<.7 .7 .5>][.18 rgb<.8 .8 .6>][.2 rgb<.7 .7 .5>][.21 rgb 1][1
rgb .8]
  }
 }
 normal{ function{ Walls } 1.5 }
}

	Or you can take a look at my entry for the irtc this round
for an adaptation of Samuel's texture that doesn't require
the superpatch...

Excellent method! Good use of resources...
They look like the kind of plant that would have a disgusting spore paste if
you mushed it.
