Hi List, Bernie: >Predominately 3d >particles for hedging / groundcovers
Question is that when I tried leaves from particles there were no shadows. That's my question ... can paryticles be used as leaves and cast shadows? I accept that if they could then render times are probably going to be interesting. Currently, to solve the non-shadow thing I tried a basic analytic polyhedron within the leaf mass to do the shadow work but still not very satisfied. My current modus on trees, etc and terrain is to forget about shortcuts. Leaves for mid to close up I do as one or two face analytic polygons. Leaves for trees are six face poly sds's. Rocks I have yet to start on but think Zaugs super-fast-masses-of-analytic-random-shapes-creation script (RealGreeblz) to be a starting point. And his random object selector within those thousands of objects to be useful for establishing a handful of separate VSL colours that I can tweak later but I havent tried that script of his yet.
