Got questions? This is the thread to post them in.

So this is going to be something that isn't just as simple as making a model, you have to make the WHOLE landscape...

Well, it's definitely going to be a challenge

Well I think we have some talent here, and I also know that we as a community will help each other.

I posted some inspirations for all of us as well. We have the full month to do this, so let's jump in and give it a shot.

I like this. I really like this. Very good concept for this challenge.

I think I'll get to brainstorming.

tks to DaveC for his new grass tutorial research


***linky***

Does it have to be large scale landscape or can it be a camera in a forest?

I would say its open to translation.. however, challenge yourself... don't settle for the minimum.

good challenge concept.. i will be contributing to this.. see.. ive made a start... ive taken the space-ey approach.. and ive come up with a slightly convincing planet... might as well post my progress in here.. more will be added..


what do you guys think..? decent enough.. or need work...

EDIT||||| i'm just going thru a new tutorial for this now.. so should have a better planet by tomorrow... FYI

just a reminder to save often... now excuse me while i hang myself

6 HOUR... and i didn't save once... what kind of idiot doesn't save ONCE in 6 hours it was... beautiful... and intricate and it had a lake and an awesome castle built into a cliff... and the water was pretty and reflected and awesome sunset in the distance... and the forest... its all gone... damn you grass partical system stupid stupid stupid... 6 hours... i normaly cant spend more the 30 minutes on something without getting bored and moving on to something else (ADD) but i did 6 and i have nothing.... nothing

well i can't model a castle again without bursting into tears so I'll have to make something else.

of course, after posting a **CRASH ?&/%)"% REPORT** you didn't re-open blender did you ?


cuz yea, AFAIK, blender do save your file each 10 operations or something like that.


ho...

here it is :







No more {head pops} !!!


Blender handle everything !! !!


now I guess you have to look for the file named "quit.blend" or something like that....

that was the sad thing... when it died i freaked out... then i realised about that file (cus this happend to me before) so i went to open it and it was blank and [twitch] yea. i also went threw a bunch of the files in tmp looking for it but there are ALOT in there and when i looked at the moste recently modified ones it wasnt there oh well no use crying over spilt milk

Im prolly retarded but im using the grass particle system as well but i cant get the grass to render correctly, Its being rendered as black same as the material for the object even tho i have a seperate material.

I don't have an answer for you but you will get answers to this quicker in the general help section. Although it may be related to your entry.. that section will be able to help you on specific questions like this.

... did you change the number of the material that the particals use to render... its somewhere in the rendering settings... maybe its the wrong number.

I dont know how i fixed it but i did now im off to tour come colleges wish me luck guys
