Trees: Arbaro and Ngplant comparison

Tree created in Ngplant
The tree week in Nature Academy is a bit different. For the rocks and grass the recipes were rather straight. But trees are more complex matter and I didn’t perceive the tutorial like a clear cut solution, more like a starting point as people try to get more realism, pruning the tree to their computer capability and looking at other tree-creation software. Fortunately my computer handles the more heavy settings and didn’t crash at all, just slows down at certain points. I managed to follow the tutorial, but straying from its exact settings to get a personal image seems more difficult than with the first ones.

Don’t worry, I won’t be posting every new rock and weed I blend, I just needed to get the right version online instead of the blurry one.

This is week 2 result “rocks”. I strayed from the official tutorial and tried this scene:
No architecture!

Something is missing! What! no human mark on the landscape except for a small footpath?
This is my personal scene based on the grass tutorial in Andrew Price’s Nature Academy. I had fun following such a non-architectural subject – something rather new for me – hence the butterflies in the foreground 🙂 The distant hills are not very convincing but maybe I’ll try to improve that later.
