Description

This is a lighting study above all, because I just don't know how to make those lights spin quite the way I want them to. If I'm bad with lighting I'm hopless with the tree lab, but that'll improve with a little work. For you to be able to tell me whether or not you like the effect you need to know some basics. I have one parallel round light and the sun providing lighting. It's volume and visible, and has a gel aplied to it. There is no background, that is to say that I took of the sky, all the background there is is there because of that one light... so knowing all of that I'd love to hear what you think of the effect. Also if anyone has some suggestions on trunk and leaf textures I'd be grateful for the help. Once again thanks.

this is cool! excellent even! I love to play with trees and lights. Whether it's good or not on a specific setup I leave to your experiments, but sometimes I temporarily turn off the sun, and set all the material 'Ambience' to zero (in a tree that's the trunk and the leaf textures), and then go from there. I extremely like the green tone so maybe try to keep most of that. Hope that helps float your boat.

Nice work! This is the best "Bryce bush" I have ever seen! Real nice!

One thing I've played around a bit with for close up bryce plants was making the leaves a little transparent (only a few percent). This makes them look (in my opinion) a little more leaf like and a little less solid. But be warned, your rendertime will go up in a hurry if you do that. But still, what you've got is a good start - keep up the experimenting :)
