Title: Cut Hedge Autumn Gradient
Post by: ShaneMcG on June 22, 2023, 03:52:52 pm

Hey there,

for an autumn scene I am trying to get one of the presets (200 cm hornbeam cut hedge) to look like the this:

Unfortunatelly, it's to no success so far. I tried the colour gradient, but it didn't work. I googled and searched the forum, too, but found nothing like this.
Can you please help give me a hint on this one?

Software: Max 2023, Corona 9, latest FP

Thanks in advnace!
Teo

Hi Teo,

Using the Get Color from Map - As texture on Surface (https://docs.itoosoft.com/forestpack/forest-color#ForestColor-Maps) (please feel free to check the "Football Field (https://www.itoosoft.com/es/tutorials/football-field)" tutorial) should do the trick. You might find handy the "use of the Planar from World XYZ mapping coordinate system" as mentioned here (https://forum.itoosoft.com/archive-forest-pro-old-betas/vray-rt-not-able-to-render-forest-color/msg13053/#msg13053).

I hope that helps.

Best regards,

Thanks a lot, Michal!
Please excuse my late reply - I had to put the project on ice for a few days and take care of other, more urgent ones.
Now I am back at it and was able to try the links (the last one doesn'T work for me, though:  "The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you.")
With some tweaking it works - I used gradient ramp for the colour range and have the slider way closer to "Element" than "Item".
I don't quite manage to achieve the looks of the reference, but I have now will do, I think.
