I enjoy creating new maps for the poser animals, often using photographs
of animals for a more
realistic look. This appaloosa is owned by a good friend of mine. I hand painted the
palomino
texture map. The cat is one of my own feline friends. I then added the 'Bryce bump' to the
textures to give
them more life. The appaloosa has a 'reverse bump', so that the spots would be raised (as
they
are on a real appy!). When painting the palomino, I added a texture to give it roughness
in Photoshop.
That way the 'Bryce bump' had something to work with.
The mountains were NOT Anti-Aliased in the final render, to keep a more natural look.
To prevent an object in Bryce3 from Anti-Aliasing, select it, and click on the tiny 'A'
next to it.
Then hold down the shift and control keys, while clicking on the checkmark. To undo this
action,
click on the A again, then hold down just the shift key, and click on the check
mark.
The grass is created first from my own original Bryce grass material, with a bump. In
Photoshop
I selected the foreground grass, and 'added noise'. I usually use a 'monochrome' noise so
the color
stays true to my selection. Then I go to PhotoShop's Motion Blur, set the blur to go
straight up,
at anywhere from 2 to 5. This results in the grass 'growing'! I added some tiny plants and
twigs
in the grass with "nozzles". The tree was created in Tree Druid, with a little
help from a 'leaf nozzle'.
