Hi,
funny coincidence!
While a discussion comes up about wood I just started working on an old,
dead tree stem.
About the context:
It will lie on the ground of the wood, some moss will grow on it, surrounded
by ferns and some other plants. The ground is wet and therefore the stem is
too (at the bottom).
Well... definitively a WIP.
regards
SY

Nice. You'll have to do something about the rings though. They should follow the
shape of the log. Isosurface and pigment functions should work fine for this - I
think.

A blob. Created with a macro.

No, not yet.

Did a look on it right now. Nice shot.
I was inspired by this one:

I think I'll use this thing in the background, partially hidden by ferns.
For the foreground ( closeup ) I'll have to uas a different approach. Not
shure yet what to use best.

Very nice. How many blobs?
Your plant was such an impressive mesh. I wonder why you didn't make a mesh
log, as it would render so much faster. I wish I could afford to buy a fast
computer for every very talented person who doesn't have one.

Good idea, but surely very slow when ready.
Using a blob for that seems an interesting idea, for the radial cracks
that looks very good, but the concentric ones are not curved which looks
unrealistic.

Uhm... I don't know exactly :-)
Several hundrets I guess.

Nice that you like it. As it turnes out I have to do all my scenes as a
single mesh to make rendering fast enough *lol*
I think I'll have to use a mesh again. The blob stuff is really slow.

So I just have to become a very talented person and...voila I'd get a new
PC. :-)
thanks and regards,

*g* I can't see a difference. Every scene takes endless.... so what is
longer? Endless or even more endless? .-)

I know. I made them shorted but more of them along the radius. It looks
better but is even slower since it multiplies the number of blob elements.

That's usually how it works anyway. When a person spends as much time with
PoV as you obdviously have, a fast PC moves up close to the top of the
priority list. If a person can find $35 a week for cigarettes, another can
find $35 a week for a computer.
Also, I would consider you very talented already.
