we demand a shrubbery!!

[TimC]

Do you want a rockery with that?

Are there any swallows involved?

What sort of level of detail do you need for the hedge??

[rikke]

heheh, of course the UK dude starts to talk about swallows (African or European swallows? :) )
back on topic: I doesn't need to be photorealistic and it's not for animation. I could use the good ol' alpha plane, but I'm planning to render this scene from various viewpoints, so I would like to avoid the hassle of rotating them individually for each different perspective.
so I'm afraid geometry is the only way to go. Hints still very welcome...

[LucentDreams]

They call him TIM!

Uhm tim one ting, the one question is suposed to be whats his favourite color.

[LucentDreams]

do you have pyrocluster?

pyrocluster can be used for rough foliage with little setup and is fully 3d that is if like you said it doesnt' need to be photorealistic.

Not meaning to hi-jack this thread but with the Python reference I can't resist telling you what I just found out no two hours ago. A friend of mine just took a new job at a textbook company. His boss went to Oxford with Terry Jones and Michael Palin! :eek: In fact, he was pretty good friends with them. He said he helped organize a weekly review at the school where Palin was a regular. I consider that pretty darn cool!

Carry on.

This one is indeed very usefull! With a 30 day demo of xfrog and this hedge-generator you can see if you like it.

[vesalus]

with Xfrog you'll even be able to do some lupins :)

Actually that IS pretty darn cool!

Now back to the thread, this is getting silly.

PS. Lemon curry? DS.

I can't resist to plug in.
Does anyone has a "Silly walk" rig for mocca?

:)

[Siddhy]

Anyone has a render of a larch? :D

[Leebre]

Ok, one more thing I can't resist mentioning. Has anyone played the wonderful PS2 game called Katamari Damacy? In one of the levels they have John Cleese's Ministry of Silly walks character doddling around town.

If you're not animating, couldn't you just put "Look at Camera" tag on the alpha planes, so they always face the camera?

Hey hey hey! What's this? Off topic sugestions??
If you don't have any monty python jokes you better not post in here!

Eheh
Actually, that's the right thing to do, just make sure you turn off "Change Pitch Rotation" so that the tree planes only rotate in the Y axis.

As in Wallis Eck Ecky-ecky-pkang-zoop-boing?

You will have to fill in a form 4219-18B before the Ministry of Silly Walks will release any of their mocca rigs...

[JamesMK]

I have a procedural 'crispy frog' texture if anyone's interested.

[twilight]

Hmmmm... crunchy frog!!!
I hope this is not an attempt to distract us from the beast riding the carrot in your avatar!

[JamesMK]

Bwaahaa! Right... "crunchy" :banghead:

Hey, never heard of that one, I new something like that had to exist! Thanks! :thumbsup:

I vil not buy this record, it is scratched ....

Really? I thought that lot were all at Cambridge? (Footlights??)
Terry Jones lives in a very nice big house a few streets away from me (S.E. London.) Perhaps I could go round and ask him ; )

But now for something completely different... has anyone got a shader for Venezuelan Beaver Cheese?

[martinp]

I haven't had much time for 3d lately as I've been reading "A Sale of Two Tities."

Vicious, but fair !

Oxford it is then - I stand corrected.

(I must have been thinking of John Cleese and Graham Chapman.)

I shall immediately go and nail my pelvis to a coffee table!

I really didn't intend for that to sound vicious. Poor choice of words on my part. :sad:
