Great scene, great theme. Where I have been heading myself. Are you
working from a reference?

Gorgeous!!
It could do an excellent picture for an adventure book.
Do you use eval_pigment to choose which specie will be found at this or that
place or do you use it instead of trace()?

Actually both functions are needed. The principle is not new, it has been
discussed here earlier. In this scene I used eval_pigment() and a spotted
pigment to distribute the trees and trace() to find the exact height of the
height_field at a given position.
You could do the same thing with random distribution of the trees but I
think a little structure in the forest looks better.

That was my guess :-)

Very impressive, Christoph! I had not yet had the time to use the
eval_pigment function, but I confess that you have pushed me to it. Like was
said above, it would make an excellent illustration for an adventure
book.... I hope to write one myself, one day...

I posted the image also in my Renderosity gallery. The birds are not
red-eyed, they are red parrots (Poser model). Due to the scale of the image
they are quite small and hard to recognize.
