A lot of thanks about the environnement. It's amazing. How do you do to make instancing with grass and trees.
When I will have some samples, i will send you.
Sorry for my english, i am french.

Studiouno,

You're welcome! The guide on how instancing is made can be found here : http://www.indigorenderer.com/forum/vie ... =17&t=2215 .

Another batch of updates. On this set, I started using the newer environment where all the trees are much closer to the house and at the same time were scaled up.

Looking good, Jeff! Great thread!

These are looking fantastic!
Only a small suggestion: I would reduce the exponent value of the phong grass material a little bit.
Did you color your leaf textures with a color picker, too? Your overall greentones look so seamless... great!

Thanks a lot zeitmeister. I will start reducing the exponent value. Initially I was trying to make the grasses really look wet to simulate dew. But on these last scenes here where the sun is already high, the wet grass does not fit anymore. I used a color picker to color one of the leaves here and made several variants of it to color the others.

Another batch of renderings. I re-rendered a familiar scene again. On this one, most of the fir trees were taken out and were replaced with maple trees. The regularity of the leaf arrangement pattern on the trees is very obvious and this had to fixed. I also tried doing some interior renderings of another part of the house. I am still using the furniture I got from the GH house.

This color picking workflow results in very harmonic overall looks.
Nice interiors!

Thank you very much zeitmeister. I found out about this color picking thing when I worked on a render of a maple tree. http://www.indigorenderer.com/forum/vie ... start=1260 My computer had a hard time loading the scene and it was this reason that prompted me to just pick the color of the leaf material instead of using the material.

Just tried fixing the leaf arrangement on the branches of the trees. These were arranged neatly before and this gave them that 'repeating' look. What I did was, I took out that neat arrangement and scattered them about randomly on the branches. Did some test renders and these are the results.
