.. and so you should be. Excellent texturing.

Any chance of a look at the code

i agree!
but i think a solution could be to put the wall behind the tree!
the shadows just need some fill lighting

nice tree Tom!

Hmm, thanks Ben and Jim - yeah, I feel the leaves are hiding too much, but
better lighting might resolve that. I did try cutting down on the leaves, but Lu
complained.

Moving the wall sounds a good idea - except that my intent was to render the
same scene as the winter version (still, that's screwed now anyway, since I
won't be able to reproduce *exactly* the same tree in both versions).

That tree is just great and well-textured, it looks like one of these great
Andrew Wyeth sycamore tree paintings.
(best link I could find,
sorry)http://www.cs.utk.edu/~plank/chppic/tmp/98.12.25/dec25008.jpg

...but could you fix that sky? It must be the darkest summer sky I've ever
seen, even in UK... I'm just looking at a reference photo and the blue is
rgb <98,144,204>/255 while yours is an ominous rgb <97,97,123>/255. (it's a
WIP, I know, I know)

WaheeEEEY!

I'm not sure about that grass, but what a tree! Man, that's fantastic!!! You
should do this for a living or something... (Or maybe you do? How would I
know... LOL)

But seriously - it looks realistic, and it looks dramatic and eye-catching.
Lovely shapes and gorgeous textures... What more do you need? 8-D

Well... <smiles sweetly> actually, something or other seems to have chopped
bits out of the smaller twigs. Oh, and about that second version... the wall
looks somehow wrong - maybe just too many shaddows - and the leaves do hide
too much. They look a good shape though - probably just needs different
lighting.

Did I mention "wow"?
Andrew.

http://www.gallery-ii.com/wyeth_pennsylvania_landscape.htm maybe? (nice - prior
to hunting, the only Wyeth I knew was Christina's World)

<0.5,0.5,0.85> but with light 0.5 ;) - but I'll try your suggestion. At some
moment I'm going to play with volumetric clouds. I have some nice cloud code
around from old megapov, but I haven't worked out yet if it translates to 3.5 at
all.

I'm currently working on the grass and rock textures - and looking forward to
trying out the double/triple layered grass that others have played with - a
green layer, a dead layer and a 'straw' layer (i.e. a few high thin yellow
strands).

Oh, thanks for finding this. I haven't got around to scanning my Wyeth's
landscapes book to use as visual references.

It may be interesting to make sure that the sky and sun colors/textures are
right before tweaking the plant ones, because we usually see plants under
the sky. Plant greens take a lot of tweaking in any case.
About the layers trick, having another layer of slightly different green can
help too. We can really be thankful of the way POV-Ray does instanciation,
because it's one of the few 3D software that can manage gigantic (mesh)
plant populations without complaining.

That's quite ok - I haven't been online in ages anyway, so I hadn't noticed
;-)

Andrew.
