I like the bright texture very much. Must have a look at Norbert's
posted scene.

OT. Its a pity that the sort of image I would like to hard copy always
looks better with a black background. With an inkjet - thats a lot of
ink. I wonder if there are printers or inks out there that rely on
_black_ paper.

thanks!

I took the sky sphere colors from an old terragen sky render. The pow
commands are needed to adjust the colors to the gamma value of 1 (colors of

adjusting them).

There are real texture masters like Gilles Tran, Mick Hazelgrove, Rune,
Margus Ramst and some others more.

WOW!

Very suggestive. After 5 minutes looking at the colors and following the
curves, I feel hypnotized.
Good work!

I don't think qualify as a texture master as I mostly borrow stuff from
other people. Particularly, the SEM texture thread above was very productive
for me: skin textures can also be simulated this way, by changing the
diffuse value in the slope_map (this is what I used for the Poser tests).

Of course we all learn from each other. By example I love your pinnacle
texture from "chess".
The use of the slope dependent texture in the skin definition is really

I by myself am testing the use in plant textures. I hope to solve the
double_illumination problem you mentioned some months ago, where you used
media instead of double_illuminate in a leaf material of your phantastic
pond image. Up to now I have a simple meadow as an test. Grass and flowers
have all slope dependent pigment definitions.

Wow. I'm going to put this to immediate use.
You're going to win the IRTC, right ? Too bad we can't place bets :-)

Great compliment for me, thanks.

I'm not sure if i understand this right, you use a slope pattern in
direction of the main light to texture the side facing the light with some
normal plant texture and the other side with an ambient finish to simulate
the light scattered?

Your scene, although being impressive by the sheer amount of plants, seems
to lack the contrast in the colors you usually would expect for a view
against the light.  

A scene showing this quite well is:
