.. now, that has changed.
Took me a very close look to spot that the grass pattern is repeating. Is that grass a 2D floor texture?
If so you've merged it perfectly into the scene!
The vignetting - is it a decent blur I think to see in the lower image corners?
Amazing work!
The vignetting is a filter to darken the edges of the image - as I understand it this is a property of real life lenses. Horo set this filter up.
The grass... began life as a photograph taken by Horo, I processed it in Genetica 3.6 to a tile-able texture. Then in Crazy Bump I extracted a selection of maps from it, height, ambient, specular. The height map is used in two ways, one to drive bump and also after processing, to create a heightmap for the terrain onto which the final texture was applied. This gives the grass a "real" 3D presence in the render and makes it respond in a more plausible way to the environmental lighting used. A bit of a fiddly thing to set up, but once made into a tile, it can be reused again easily.
I really was wondering how the floor could fit so perfectly into the scene environment.
Thank you!
