Nice trees. Have you rendered your images with mentalray?

Good luck on the challenge !

The tree is render with Maya software and a dome that I’ve created with 40 directional lights and another one to be the keylight…

lookin cool there! i think the grass parts sprouting out of his spine and head are really interesting, they give him a more dynamic feel. the root guy is great too, thats a cool pose you’ve got him in. the renders are coming along nicelye as well. no crits right now from me, i’m looking forward to seeing some more

:+1: looking good… how do you make all the roots in maya is that paint effects or all moddeld ?

Thanks Zipp !

Thanks !

The roots are modeled using curves snapped to a geometry using “makelive” option.

You can find the video tutorial THERE
