Hi Ian. Friendly? Yes. That is, until HTML is used to post messages...
plain text is preffered due to the wide variety of newsreader programs people
use here. Please have a look at posting guidelines at
povray.announce.frequently-asked-questions. That can help in the future.
| With this in mind I have decided to offer this here picture for criticism.
Don't hold back, tell me how to |make it the best pot plant ever... I was
going for something like a Cantonese Lace. I used SplineTree |and some scanned
leaves for the plant, h.f. for the dirt, and csg for the pot.
I don't know much about plants, this one looks good far as branching and leaf
placement goes, just a bit thinned-out looking. The detail to the leaves is
nice, even though not very visible here. You could vary them slightly with a
'turbulence' added in: pigment {image_map{} turbulence 0.05} for close ups or
larger renders.
|The area light shadow of the foliage looks even grainier on a less compressed
image.. how can I fix |this? (make nice soft shadows)
It may be that the area light is near and wide. If the light/plant distance
were 10, for example, with a plant size of around 1 then I'd have used a
'area_light <1,0,0>,<0,1,0>,4,4 jitter adaptive 1' (situated facing the plant)
but no more than that. Every situation is different though. Were you using
MegaPov then adding in 'orient' 'circular' would help it greatly.
I like the bowl, the dirt could use some color variation of sharp contrast at
a small scale using a granite patterned colormap for example.

That's a great idea, but I've also used the same leaf images for
bump_map's... if I add the same amount of turbulence to the image_map and
bump_map will they still line up?

It was, and I've fixed it now, thanks.

Instead OE copied the hole HTML-Message including the pic. Could be good to
uncheck "options"-"send"-"use same format for reply" (or something like
that).

Yep, if scale, rotate, translate are the same too. Just be careful not to
turbulate into chaos.
Example:
texture {
pigment {image_map {png "c:\images\IEerror.png"
// interpolate 2 // smooth it
once // don't tile image, just one copy
// filter all .75 // make 1st color mostly transparent
// transmit 1, .75 // make 2nd color mostly transparent
}
// transform it to unit-size (-1 to +1)
translate -0.5*(x+y) // center on the origin
scale 2 // make it 2 units across
turbulence .125
}
normal {bump_map {png "c:\images\IEerror.png"
// interpolate 2 // smooth it
once // don't tile image, just one copy
} bump_size 2 // raise or lower relief
translate -0.5*(x+y) // center on the origin
scale 2 // make it 2 units across
turbulence .125
}
finish {ambient .125 diffuse .75 specular .25 roughness .075}
}
}

Mmm, plantalicious! Just listen to the other people, the dirt is too
saturated and crank up the area lights...

Ohhhh... you mean a "potted plant." I was expecting.... oh, never mind.
