as I now have still 11 hours left at 71% and 26 hours have elapsed I can safely say I will not be able to look at what is what for a while yet!!!
the 11 hours never reduces because the scene gets more detailed as you reach the bottom so the estimation is severely under calculated.
I think I can safely say it will take 2 days with my computer running flatchack GPU and RAM wise!
I certainly will not be doing any panos from other co-ordinates
this will be my go to shadowcatch plane spherical background for any animations I do involving camera movent albeit ball joint!
may render a few 1920 x1080 background from other positions as well one week!!
honestly cannot see myself putting things in the scene and rendering!

38 hours later, my render is finished

Yeah, certainly not meant for the speedy animation render scene!
Hats off to you Wendy - where you get the patience, I’ll never know!

My eyes just caught on fire ... but I can’t stop watching! 

Seriously though Wendy; I am actually jealous that you could make a useful render of Valle Alpina. I still haven’t figured out why mine is so screwed up.

still an odd leaf, cannot find it to replace, gone through all the trees

did eventually find the stray leaves hidden in replicared trees, apparently the master ones do not control the lot!
but
here is the odd thing, it loads correctly in C8.1 if I put the leaf folder in a couple of different folders (unsure exactly which one of two fixes it)
but not C8.5

Wendy, how did you structure the folders on your drive? I’m still having terrible issues with Valle Alpina and I’d really love to add it to my collection of Howie renders…

Thanks!

I haven’t been having issues, but also haven’t had much tree time lately - but some. But one of the things mentioned in the beta thread is that plant primitives may behave differently (no specifics listed) which is a know issue and is being looked into.
Just thought I’d mention, just in case it helps you figure it out?

garstor, wish I could be more specific but basically copied and pasted plants in several likely folders, no idea which one actually worked in C8.1 had to manually change leaves in beta

Thanks. I’m still using C8.1 since, like Holly, I have zero interest in Genesis for the foreseeable future. I guess I’ll uninstall Valle Alpina and give another whirl…
