Well, finally something other than an abstract, (although as much goes into them as this)...I need help, as you can see there are some problems, the biggest is the baby bunny, any thoughts on how to make him 3d, the ferns I finally got right, although the tips are embedded in one of the rocks, and I'm happy with the rock textures...any input on how I can make it better...this is my first atempt at, well anything besides geometric shapes, so in small words please...:) Zhann

That looks brilliant the way it is. The textures on the rocks are superb!

Image looks great so far, Zhann. As for the bunny, did you import the picture onto a 2D surface? You can try and bring it in through the terrain editor and clip off what you don't need. Or maybe get your hands on a model of a bunny.

Great image and intention. I agree about the rocks. Use the 2D pic, make a copy B&W, use it on a terrrain,color with the original,might also use the b&w for bump if needed. You could turn your fern and plop render till their exposed. (didn't mean to ryme,hehe) Looks great!

Great minds think alike BOOMER. :)

Or make an alpha image in a paint program to use as blend transparency. Sorry about your bunny. I had one named Thumper, who lived to be about 10.

This is not my "second childhood". I'm not finished with the first one yet.

Yes, he is on a 2D surface, I tried using a symmetrical lattice, it gave a really nice 3D look ,except the bunny looked mummified, tried a terrian, but we don't even wanta go there as to how he looked...I could post work the edges and add some detail, but thought this was only Bryce...

Great job. I love the textures on the rocks.

I read in an earlier post about FOV (I think) You select an object - in this case the bunny - and then the FOV thingy and the bunny comes into sharp focus and the rest is slightly out of focus.....did I get this right....I think this might help to bring the bunny more into the 3D realm...

Definitely a great pic Zhann, you have every right to be proud of your rock textures. A suggestion for your bunny - maybe go for a less realistic view of the bunny - more ghostlike or otherworldly. It is a new beginning for him afterall. Lin

Great idea here! The rocks....well, rock! And the fern is awesome!

Great image Zhann. We had a bunny named Pockets once He was an indoor pet. Used to lay stretched out on the floor with the kids to watch TV. Love the ferns and the rocks!
