hi rusteberg, sandykoufax, devista and numerobis!
x sandykoufax.
The procedure i used is following:
I built one layer with aleatory placed points, i projected the points vertically on to the landscape and i
replaced the points by 3 sided polygons.
Now i have one single layer containing only 3 sided polygons. I deleted all triangles which have been to
close to the water surface. i built some zones without triangles. The procedure should not take longer
as 20 minutes.



I imported the file in to Felix and i assigned three types of plants to the layer containing the triangles.
In this way Felix replaces each triangle with one instance. Now i had only to define the rotation freedom,
the scale variation and the density of the plants.



this video show's the procedure http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sf2xn1mktfA

[sandykoufax]

wow. amazing this too.
but what is the Felix? I saw your youtube videos.

It's a Cloud Computing based rendering system based on Maxwell Render www.felixrender.com

So those are 2d trees?

-Brodie

No, they're 3d models.
That's the point

Aw, interesting. I thought Felix only did 2d trees for some reason. I'll have to take a second look at felix.

Thanks tokiop!
Hi Brodie_geers, yes, tons of 3D trees. 3D trees are now part of the object libraries of FELIX and
you can easily add your own tree meshes. Thanks!

by the way...Which is the best tree generator today?

[jc4d]

Amazing, good job

Speedtree 5.2 looks very interesting

btw/ incredible renderings here daros, one question about the rocks, do they have displacement?

[brodie_geers]

Daros, aha! So I'm not going crazy. I followed Felix's development for a long time before it came out but have sort of fallen away after the release (the current credit model doesn't really work with company unfortunately). Glad to see you've got 3d trees now, that's a great improvement.

I don't really use a tree generator. I've tried Onyx before though since so many people seem to use it and it seemed very powerful and fairly intuitive.

thanks jc4d and iker!
x iker, no displacement is used in this scene for the rocks, only bsdf. Let's try Speedtree 5.2, thanks!
x brodie_geers, i'm glad you like this feature thanks.
