Yes, you are right... the catterpillar is a little MONSTER.

Here the settings of the foreground leafs:

Wow, I really like the surroundings (ground and plants) I'm not completely convinced by the catterpliiar though, it seems a bit flat/dull. I think the colours can be made a bit more vivid. check these:

but otherwise very good.

And yeah, could you spill the beans on how you set up the leave-shaders?

This time I just played around with displacement...


Video is blown up a bit with some small cc in AFX.
The render time is very nice for that orgy of displacement in my opionion.

Here is the video...

The vegetation is really realistic. Did you use the same settings for the grass?

Many thanks and great work.

[Esperamus]

Just some variations...

[CiroC]

Thanks for your reply.

I am finding difficult creating a vegetation material using just textures and not materials for each side of the surface.

Inspiring thing. Waht method you choose? Pt+PT bucket? How much passes to clear?

[Esperamus]

For the caterpillar I used PT+HDC, for the displacement test it was PT+PT.

[jetcrow]

tnank you.

great grass!
