Test with dummy plant and tank textures. I want to fit in a pump,
wires, pipes, switch boxes and a lamp so I'm going to widen the
image and maybe change some proportions within the scene.
Those tanks looked pretty good 20% bigger. Plants from PlantStudio2.
They have no colors because none of the converters can export them
to pov mesh. 4 different species at 3 stages of growth. I wanted to
see how the plants look before I edit about 100 textures for them.

About 8 million polygons (95% visible). Render time @ 800x570 8h.
Some post work was done in Photoshop for that photographic look.

Wow this looks really good, but actually I like the old one better in some
ways. The shed you added is a great addition, but perhaps it might look
better with fewer plants. Perhaps make the plants fall off as you move away
from the walls, so you would have a lot of plants growing right up against
the wall and they would fade out to short grass and then the gravel you had
in the last version. It's just that the last version looked so desolate that
the plants in this version almost seem out of place, they also seem a little
flat, though I guess with your added textures they won't. Great picture!

Already looks great ... can't imagine how the final will be.
Like that moss and rust and the weathered wood.
I think the plants/weeds are a good touch ... looks abandoned.
Very nice ... looking forward to what's coming ... ;)

This looks quite stunning, you need pipes between those tanks, and pipes 
going from the tanks into the wall etc.  

The texture of the tanks looks like fairly new paint compared with the 
old weathered textures of everything else in the scene. 

The plants are excelent as they are I think eventhough you say they're 
all the same colour, I didn't notice that. 

Nice work, keep us posted.

It's just approximate flat color to test radiosity illumination.
It's good to see how a known color changes before painting the
final texture.

Good idea. I tried to find the clutter macro with probability map
but couldn't find it so i made my own. I used the map to place the
plants in the visible area only to optimise polygon use. Maybe two
or more groups of plants (tall, medium, short) and a map for each
so that tall ones are close to wall etc. And LOD control too where
high detail versions are placed close to camera and low polycount
versions far away.

This place has been left in the middle of the woods for close to
100 years so I think this kind of vegetation is in place :)

With that much time in the woods, I would be expecting a tree in the
open space. It would have to be in deep woods with not much sunlight
to escape having some sort of heavy bush growth there. But this is based
on wooded areas I have seen in northern America, so maybe not.

Hi,
I made a clutter macro with mulltiple probability maps. The objects placed
by the macro are textured according to their position and the results are
stored in an include file. The macro is really simple, so that you can adapt
it to your own needs. Of course, if I were you I'd go on using your own
macro (since it's more satisfactory), but if you are interested I can post
it.
Great work you're building up! Great use of h-fields and image-maps. Keep up
the good work.

JRG.

Great! The crate looks incredibly realistic. The broken glass doesn't
look that real. Myabe you should make the remaining glass cracked.
Vegetation is nice, but you could perhaps make it more interesting by
varying it a little - taller plants close to the wall and worn down in
the center.
