Description
This is actually just a test image that turned out
better than expected. I was trying out a
tree-placement script for a forest to add to my
previous sky image. The test turned out so well,
I decided to post it as an image in its own right.
Done in a freeware program called pov-ray. The
trees were generated by a pov script (macro)
called TomTree. The landscape is a heightfield
generated from within pov. The trees were rotated
and randomly placed on the heightfield with another
pov script. Each tree has over 50,000 polygons,
and there are 50 altogether in the scene (some
offscreen), so there's over 2.5 million polys
for just the trees alone, plus another 160,000
polys for the land.
This rendered in just under 8 hours with full
antialiasing--which isn't bad on a 266 mhz
pentium II laptop. *smile*
Still needs some tweaking. I'm particularly
trying to work on the leaves to make them a
little more translucent (for backlighting),
and I also have plans to add fully 3d grass
and shrubs for the ground, perhaps some rounded
appalachian hills in the background, and
better composition.
But this was just a test image..

Very nice. I;ve been using Povray a bit, but still need to learn about trees, rolling hills, and paths like you put together nicely in the render.
