Can anyone tell me how the wind-blown autumn leaves were created in this Ksenia promo image?
Is it a DAZ package? Photoshop?
Or any alternative methods suggested for creating blowing leaves.
Thanks!

I’m not positive, but I’d bet its done in Photoshop.

There’s this:

Now that’s a neat pack. Thanks for pointing it out.

I think you will possibly find that it was done using Nerd’s Blowing in the wind tool

The Cofleck-gnorg one might be better for on the ground leaves, but this one is much more versatile.  Never knew it was in the store. Nice.

Darn beat me to it. I forgot the name so it was a pain to find.

There’s also the scatters series by Traveller over at RDNA http://www.runtimedna.com/Modualz-Scatters-Vol-6-Leaves-2.0.html

And just about all of the blown leaf or falling leaf packs out there seem to be maple leaves, so telling them apart is going to be tricky.

Oh come on JOdel, it’s so easy to make your own for most of the sets. Just a Texture map a Trans map and maybe a Bump/Dis map. And the Texure maps are all over the net. And other stuff is easy too, hearts or flowers ect..

The Nerd one actually has 4 different leaf maps as well as some others, like petals and snowflakes.

I just bought Nerds. I have a pack that the leaves would be good in for the promos.

I thought that all Daz Store Promos are not allowd Postwork apart from Colour Correction, is that correct? So if that is the case it would have to be a product like the ones mentioned above or a a plane with leaves and trans maps on.

...I have it and it is a wonderful effects tool.  It also has bees as well.

...oh, and it currently is on sale.  As it is not a plugin it should work with any version of Daz Studio.

I made one Random Runtime Render Roulette picture with it:

As a kid Emily liked visiting Aunt Edwina and Uncle Frank; they were very spontaneous sort of people in general. If it felt like a good idea to grab the living room carpet for sitting by the poolside, along with a small table for a drink, that’s what would happen in their household. However, Emily could never decide if the downside of visiting them was…

Fortunately a rogue gust of wind removed one variable from play.
