Bzuco Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Hi, this year I started modeling plants. Some of them could by better. Only few of them was created according to a real template. For the rest I used mostly google pictures or youtube videos. Every plant took me approximately 4 hours to complete. Most time I spent studying how the plant looks Hold my fingers, I still need to create a few plants Abies Koreana Abies Lasiocarpa Compacta Amelanchier Lamarckii Buxus Sempervirens Carex Buchananii Bronze Carex Comans Amazon Mist Caryopteris Clandonensis Catalpa Bignoinoides Nana Chamaecyparis Lawsoniana Ellwoodii Coreopsis Grandiflora Early Sunrise Dianthus Caryophyllus Echinacea Purpurea Fatal Attraction Gaura Lindheimeri Compacta Grossularia Uva Crispa hedera Helix Hibiscus Syriacus Hydrangea Arborescens Hydrangea Macrophylla Lavandula Angustifolia Leucanthemum Hybridum Liquidambar Styraciflua Malus Domestica Miscanthus Sinensis Gracillimus Morus Alba Pendula Parthenocissus Tricuspidata Pennisetum Alopecuroides Philadelphus Coronarius Virginal Phlox Subulata Physocarpus Opulifolius Diabolo Pinus Mugo Humpy Prunus Avium Prunus Fruticosa Prunus Laurocerasus Etna Ribes Rosso Rudbeckia Fulgida Goldsturm Salvia Nemorosa Ostfriesland Sedum Spectabile Spiraea Japonica Golden Princess Stipa Tenuissima Thuja Occidentalis Danica Thuja Occidentalis Smaragd Thuja Orientalis Aurea Nana Vaccinium Corymbosum Weigela Florida 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I am using only few modifiers: almost every branch is using random/vector/noise direction modifiers, sometimes radial direction for leaf stem and when it is necessary object reaction modifier. Often for leaves and twigs and small branches it is essential use vector orientation, but this modifier is better test on extra small example, because it is sometimes hard to tell on bigger plant if you set the parameters X/Y orientation correct or not :)) . I was learning only from tutorials from exlevel page. After 2 or 3 plants it was quite easy to create any plant. 50% of success is to have good reference, photos, measurements, or real plant. Rest is about setting parameters and do some work in photoshop (extracting leaves from photos, make color wariations, normalmaps, make bark texture non repeating, ...). For bigger project I reworked my plants to use with forest pack plugin, because some conifers had 6M polys, and that was not good for RAM even as proxy object. So for example I grouped few needles to single mesh and dristributed that mesh using forest pack. Or convert growFX flower paths as single mesh and and distribute with FP. Then RAM consumption is quite low. And here is the rest of my collection : Acer Palmatum Azalea Japonica Johanna Campanula Carpatica Campsis Radicans Clematis Euonymus Fortunei Emerald Gold Festuca Gautieri Heuchera Hosta Hydrangea Paniculata Limelight Iberis Sempervirens Ligustrum Ovalifolium Paeonia Suffruticosa Prunus Domestica Pyrus Domestica Rubus Idaeus Thymus Citriodorus Wisteria Sinensis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
