my first z-attempt since wearing new glasses (stronger, plus they found i got a few additional eyebugs since my last visit) to test how i do on a computer with them (result: strange :D)

terrain is dragrectangle 3d-brush at varying z-intensities and depths, making use of an alpha grabbed from dragrectangle fiberbrush, which was also used to alphacentury the waterplane.

i found that dragrectangle simplebrush with alpha #34 (the one with the rays) and reduced width- or heightsettings (branches) setting (draw-palette) is fine to paint conifer-trees.

hope you like this experiment.

    :large_orange_diamond: edit: the script seems to work fine, at one point it tries to load lightsettings, just press cancel and go on watching much boring bestrender after bestrender :roll_eyes: - as mentioned in my below message final details like additional flowers, cropping, painting evergreen trees and so on were done on the 2d-image in another session.

I like it! Very serene landscape. :+1: :+1: :+1:

I empathise with your eye problems - I hope they are more an inconvenience than a serious or threatening condition. I suffer from increasingly frequent bouts of what has sometimes been diagnosed as severe conjunctivitis, and sometimes as blepharitis, though I find it hard to tell the difference! Apart from making my eyes sore and hypersensitive to light (including TV and PC monitor glare), it also effects the focal lengths from day to day somehow, which makes life rather awkward, and the choosing of a date for an optician’s appointment for an eye test and new specs a bit of a lottery. It also makes me look like something out of a Hammer Films vampire movie, with the whites almost completely bloodshot. Perhaps I shold send a photo to Ron as an eye study for his next gory head! :smiley:

I agree with everyone else…

This is great work!..

BTW how did you make the plants? did you sculpt them in Zbrush or are they made in a diffrent application and imported?

anyways, I realy enjoy your work :slight_smile:

#6

This is very pretty, peacful and serene - I really like it! Your new glasses seem to be working out well if this is any indication :smiley:

#7

A beautiful picture :slight_smile:

And thanks for the info on how you did it. Talk of 2/2.5d brushes confuses me, but thanks to your expperiments the water will be nice and warmed when I decide to take the plunge.

Mes compliments au votre Optometrist, mon cher ami! :wink: :smiley: :+1: :+1: :+1: !

This is one of your best, and that’s something for the Master Landscaper! Those back hills are really nice, and the evergreen technique is 'Slick-O-Rama! :+1: :sunglasses: :+1:

Very well done JuJu! I am pleased that you got your glasses and eyes straightened out, and have started posting your superb landscapes again. Now that you can see, I am looking forward to more awesome images.
Take care, stay healthy.

thank you, ZBs! :slight_smile:

:D, flycatcher! yesterdays outdoor testing was rather successful, but then i only had a rather blurred 15 minutes walk to a nice restaurant located in a forest near my hometown. i could read the menu and found they serve my favorite beer, so i had a few. vision was almost back to normal afterwards - as my brain had adapted to blurriness itself :smiley:

@ polaris: plants are mostly snakehooked (leaves done the DeeVee-way, using the tiny alpha, i think its #40), some of the flowers are modified 3d-gears, the others done with simplebrush and dragrectangle stroke. i saw your fantastico plumarias, wished my flowers were as good!

@ bonecradle: i did record the session (except reloading it as a texture/filling a lil stretched canvas and adding a few details on the 2d image) but havent checked the script yet. if its ok, i will upload it within the next 24 hrs. and will send you a p.m. that i did so. 2-2.5d-brush dragrectangeling is all but complicated, but i found that sometimes fiberbrush dragrectangeling (which i used for creating the basic alpha for both water and terrain) and moving it around/sizing it isnt recorded correctly, so the script might end up in something completely different :wink:

thank you all for your kind comments!
