I am making a forest like this in Blender (I have the trees yet) so I need ideas of how to make the floor
I sure hope you have a hell of a machine, OP because there will have to be a lot of displacement and particles goin on in that scene
>>523877
Well I thought in make it more simple, like make the ground with a texture and leaves over it but i'm not sure at all about it
>>523879
dont understand what u want man. u want it to look realistic? then yeah like that guy said u need displacement maps and badass pc. cos putting a texture on a plane with some leaves is gonna look like ur in world of warcraft
>>523877
Surely thou doth jest? You'd do all that in post
>>523876
>so I need ideas of how to make the floor
Sculpt a plane
I made this one a long time ago. I think this scene took something like 18GB of ram but if you're smart you could proabably do in a quarter with bigger particle batches and less polys per particle. Plus there's not too many leaves going on in the op scene.

fuck me, can't tell if its cg
Sculpt a plane but put lots of forest junk over it
>>523892
Didn't this get used as a splash image a while back
>>523876
If you want it to look fairly realistic without going full Hollywood you want to use a fairly dense ground terrain with all the major shapes you see there as actual geometry.
Then use deep normal mapping, parallax mapping or a tesselation shader to inexpensibly generate a sufficiently detailed ground texture of a forrest floor.
Not familiar with blenders shader capabilities, but those are the kind of technologies we have that can pull off what you propose.

How can you not immediately see the noise and artifacts?
Not denying it looks very good though.
hm
>>523892
The big pebble like stones in bottom left corner and the unnatural grains ruines it, but the rest looks fucking amazing af.
>>523892
What renderer did you use?
>>526680
it was cycles. I think that render took like 15 hours on the cpu.
>>526688
don't render on CPU
>>526770
There was no choice back then. You either render on cpu or you were limited to your gpu's ram.
>>526792
>Back then
Isn't that still the case now?
>>526798
no and hasnt been for years
>>526799
So then how come I still get messages containing about insufficient VRAM?
I thought when you do GPU rendering it only uses your VRAM.
