Hedge

[Dschaga]

I had similar experiments (instead of onyx i used scattered leafs on a noised multiplane object), but wasn't able to use proxies with 1.09 so i stopped the experiments.

I also had something like an "tile" effect.

my solution to this problem was a script:

	
for i in $ do
	(
	rotate i (angleaxis (random -90 90) [0,0,1])
	)

drop that text to your toolbar and this script rotates all selected objects around the z-axis.

im a fan of the blurscript "random transform"

jacksc02 - cool technique..... the test you posted does look a bit too tiled as others have pointed out... but wouldnt that be real easy to get around? if you just rotate the instanced hedge-parts so they dont all face the same direction i think it would look great!

how much does these onyx-trees cost? can you buy them one by one (like the bionatics trees) or do you have to buy a whole bunch of trees at once?

oh and one more thing... why did you convert the hedge to a vray proxy? ive never used the proxy option so maybe this is a stupid question... but the two images look the same and the proxy version took longer to render, so...?

Ill be following this thread closely... hedges have allways been a problem for me so its great to see some new techniques!

What is the best way of texturing leaves to Onyx models ?

I have tried a few methods but none work well with the opacity map.
