all done with zspheres. the quick way to do it is using radial symmetry and adding a few zspheres, dragging them off after hitting "w". then, after hitting "r" and alt+clicking on linkspheres, additional zspheres are added - including link spheres! this allows a quick build up without having to switch between "q" and "w". turning off symmetry at one point adds to irregular shape. i made the rocks using adaptive skinning at low-res, the vegetation was done after scaling a rather fat zspheretree down. vegetation was inspired by Mentats great vegetation-tool (http://www.pixolator.com/zbc-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=010264&p=1).

looks like it works fine as a quick grass-maker as well (well, with our beloved fiberbrush at hand we dont need that, but such a tool might be easier to handle for some purposes :D):

for those who care you can download it here (http://www.cyber-webs.com/zbrush/juandel/ZSpherebushzsphere.ztl) (unskinned for small size - you might want to skin it and apply texture25 :))

hope that you might find this helpful.

Some neat work Hansl, you have got the rocks looking great. The grass looks realistic as well, I'm just waiting for the Zsphere exportable tree complete with leaves. I have had a few trys but no luck yet. :tu: :tu: :tu:

An interesting and innovative approach to landscaping - I'd never have thought of using ZSpheres for this. Looks good. :tu: :tu:

I'm not quite sure how you got that beautiful landscape all out of zspheres but I really enjoy seeing your artwork. Great quality technique. :) :tu: :tu:
