Chris MacDonald Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Hey guys, Just had a project that stalled for a few days so decided to use the spare time to create some plants (lavender and hebe) that I suspected might be used in the landscaping plan; the only reason for doing this myself was that so many of the plants available on the market at the moment are fairly "residential" looking, and not the kind of hardy shrubs that I am often in need of, and also one of quality. I plan on doing many, many more (time permitting). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heni30 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Good job. Was it time-consuming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernest Burden III Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 ...use the spare time to create some plants (lavender and hebe) that I suspected might be used in the landscaping plan... Those look great! I just took a walk to photograph some bushes (bring me a shrubbery!) as inspiration for a house I'm working on today (includes some lavender probably). I'm thinking I'll paint 'em, though, and layer on in Photoshop. 3D plants are such a PIA to get right/look right. Yours are looking quite usable.

Francisco Penaloza Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 so what software are you using to create these plants? I been trying to use Grow FX but I am getting stuck on figuring how to create the model I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris MacDonald Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 These are being done with GrowFX; it requires a lot of thought up front as to the structure of the plant; I've found the branches/twigs within the plant that you can't even see are just as (if not more) important than the final stems and leaves as they give the plant their overall shape. Having some decent source photographs of the plants is quite helpful too - we have these Hebe plants in our company car park, so that's been quite helpful.

Francisco Penaloza Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 This is the plant I am trying to do But I am having a hard time to make that puffy flower, I can't make it spread separated from the leaf. My crapy model https://www.dropbox.com/s/eo8pes6446hqvtr/LittleJohn_1.jpg?dl=0 I asked on the grow FX forum but the answer was pretty much what I read on the Help ...

Andres Saarnak Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) I dont know if understood your problem correctly (flower overlapping with leaves). You have in distributor range parameters start value 70%, but end value should be lower than 100%. So it may have to be leaves 0% to 70%, flowers 70% to 90% and another leaves paths 90% to 100%.
