Description
Lately I have been frustrated with my work. Yep, I know I have peculiar focuses and you see Adrea 90% of the time on my renders.
For my stories I really am working to develop good landcapes for my characters. Jungles are a holy grail to me. Vue I am sure would be fantastic once I learned it. My Vue 8 use to have ecosystem but for some reason, no longer.
Still, I am compelled to use Carrara. I am use to it, can visualized with it, play with it, compose in it. And, also am too lazy really to spend the time to learn other softwares (up to now).
On this, I tries several different iterations, most just slowed my machine. What I did here was to use xfrog billboards and then use a Carrara plant, surface replicate, and some DR tree props. Couldn't use Dynamic hair on Lynette here, the volumetric light made it transparent.
Aimed at high contrast lighting as well.
some post in Photoshop.
Hope you like this Jungle attempt.

It looks good. I hate learning new software myself.

This turned out really great. So much software, so little time.
