    dunno why surface replication giving me a hard time.  i've done it before no problem.

    trying to scatter a herd of bessies

    theres 5,000 cows in scene, scattered so far can only see a few.

    i converted the terrain to vertex.  deleted mose of the polies off to the sides to make a smaller area.
    didnt want to drop a plane in, wanted the cows on the hills.  poor bessie lookin lonely

    Try this:

    1. Make a square image in your favorite image editor
    2. Make it fully black
    3. Paint a small white shape in the center (assuming we're looking at the center of the terrain

    Back in Carrara

    1. Double-click the replicator in the Instances Tray
    2. Right side of working box, click the button to adjust the shader
    3. Place your new image in the Color channel

    Adjust the painting to fit your needs

    I hope you love this tip!

    Me too. One smaller central terrain inside larger ones that go the distance.

    Excellent Dino drama !!!

    Thanks. 

    i trimmed half of the pastuer away

    just notices surface replication has options for clustering.

    zooming the camera around looking for the lost moo-ers, lost the production frame.  zoom default brought it back.

     

    Do shep and the moo-ers and the roos hang out in the pastures together?

    the toon cow has pose erc instead of pose presets.  is nice, cause can pose to varying degrees.
    i've never seen a cow sit, do they sit like a dog does?

    RE: replicating on small portions of large terrains

    Here are two options I have tried.  Which I use depends on the scene.  My level of success varies.  I tend to start with a duplicate of the terrain.

    - duplicate terrain.  create new shader for duplicate.  use 3d paint tool and paint black/white area to replicate. save as map.  In replicator distribution, use the black white map as shader

    - duplicate terrain.  select duplicate and set lower resolution.  convert to other modeler (vertex).  select portion where want objects.  invert selection.  delete.  replicate on reduced version.

     

    cute cow, Misty.  yes

    just around the corner from me in the paddock the roos and horses mingle, and up the road the roos and cows mingle but the llamas keep to themselves smiley

    except for the emus.... the emus invade their space

    pbr plugin

     

    oh, when i turn the plane round, the displacement map is the inverse on the back of the plane.  was wondering why it was sinking in instead of out

    looks good 

  • magaremotomagaremoto Posts: 1,226

    thx Misty, a good compromise between an AO cached map and GI sky light; maybe with a LUT filter I could get a more cinematic realism.

    here the same scene rendered in D/S 3delight at 1920x, no post work as usual

    That's really nice shading, Magaremoto! I can never seem to lock down a decent SSS setting. Always ends up too glowy for my liking. This looks really good!

    thx DB, well it mainly depends on good maps and lighting; G8 Hersilia has very good maps suitable for testing sss in carrara, what I actually do is create a skin shader usable for any lighting condition, by tweaking color and sss channels

    here are 2 screenshots: in the first you can see how doubling the map and invert its color you can make skin more or less reddish (it counts a lot), in the second one you can check my simple sss settings; normally I act on color tab and intensity slider only.

    maps with white or pink background (like Hersilia's) work better in carrara; translucency is needed only for ears shader most of times

    about lighting, I suggest to keep it simple, just a good irradiance map and a bit of sky light, as in my shot, it speeds up rendering times considerably

    Buppy sighting.  is that Baxter?heart and E-or

     

    i had to kill the 300 hour render.  from now on i'll do a test batch of a 10 frames to get the average frame time estimate

    This 1 frame took an 58 minutes.

    not saying is not worth the wait.  Is a gorgeous set.

    anyone tried the murky volume?
    i'm guessing is for like under ocean scenes?

    a dubious lil dragon

     

    the toon giraf was a bit weird.  theres 3 xtra geometry parts for eye targets.  i kept losing the eyeballs.  couldn't reset it, had to delete and reload the figure.to get the eyes back.
