WAcky Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Hi all! Long time reader of the forums. Some great info on here. I just purchased the Onyx GardenSuite Superbundle for max 9. I've been getting my teeth into it but i've hit a snag. In the tutorial regarding UV mapping leaves on any tree it says to check the uv box in the Leaf row, then select the Sub-objects button. Thats all fine but it then says to "Set Number of s-objects red slider to 1" Here is the problem. I cant set the number. I've clicked here there and everywhere, typed in values, hit + and - but no slider or values appear for me... I will contact Onyxtree if noone here can give me a hand but any information is much appreciated. Cheers, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Homeless Guy Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 you should be able to put your cursor o the very left edge of the slider box, and slide it to the right. you need to be within a pixel or 2 of the left edge of the box.

mmundy Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Will you post some of your work for all to see? Is there a place here where Onyx users have posted their work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmundy Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 You can go to the onyxtree.com site and go the gallery page for some examples there. Yes, I went there already... That's how I knew I had to BUY the software! I've been using it for about a year now. Most of the time, I don't map any leaf textures to the trees. I pick a tree that has the diamond shaped leaves. I have used them as V-Ray proxy trees with much success. I really like the vertex-color method of coloring the leaves, but I've also tried assigning a solid dark green color to some of the trees, and a slightly lighter green to other trees, etc. This simulated a variety of species. I've attached a small rendering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAcky Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 Ah. hehe i didnt know you'd bought it. That image looks great. Ill post an image im working on soon. The only thing is my shots are a little bit too close to get away with the standard shaped leaves. I've got a pretty nifty idea for a kind of gradient mapped tree so the leaves get more red the higher up on the tree they are. Im going to have a go at it soon so ill post my results then. Cheers!
