Title: Why leaves has difrent color?
Post by: Marian on 2021-01-30, 15:25:06
Why leaves has difrent color if they use same material? Could someone check it please? Or am I blind? https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1L2ILd7jhNDohOvDpaqZSO826Ht6X3GfV?usp=sharing (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1L2ILd7jhNDohOvDpaqZSO826Ht6X3GfV?usp=sharing)

Let me just guess? Their surfaces are pointed in different directions which is why light reflects differently.

Fun fact: Change your POV and leaves will again change 'color' accordingly.
In reality you're merely observing reflections ;)

No, I'm just guessing cuz I suspect you're missing a detail in your shading work (check geo, custom Normals, Phong angle...).

Do good, be good.

I checked it before I posted it here. I found nothing wrong. This is why I uploaded scene file.

As burnin said, it could be anything, like thin (single sided) leaves on one tree, vs thick (double sided) leaves on another tree. Try to apprach the issue more systematically - delete all the trees, exept for one copy of each that differs in colour, place them next to each other and render for longer (all that noise doesn't help to see what's going on). Render close-ups, do renders at different lighting conditions, try to see where from the perceived difference comes. If that won't help, try to turn off material's attributes one by one and see which one contributes to the difference.

Hi Marian, As others have already suggested, here's an example of the 2 trees with the phong angle lowered to 40. With the same material on each, I cannot see the difference.

Thank you.
