This is a little test to see how does the new SDS DIFFUSE, applied to the leaves.
It would be very useful anyone who wants, participate with their own tests.

thank you very much

No one has advice for improving the leaf?

If the Octane's sun had softshadows....
I think the effect is good...
You can add a glow effect in AE.

Reduce number of leaf (divide by 2 or 3)
then add more polygons and add material to branch/trunk
then you/we see better translucency effect...

I agree that there are too many leaves, but I do not know how to reduce them at random. (i use rhino ... maybe i can try whit grasshopper) ....
Only the leaves I am interested to test ... after , I'll try to render the tree.

Thanks a lot at all

I solved the problem of reducing leaves ramdom!
Grasshopper is the best plugin that I know!

Thank you, tonight I'll try to do other tests

have you already try with a mix material with a glossy?
here is one of my test with specular-sss + glossy
ciao beppe

I have not tried because I believe that the "specular sss" is slower than the diffuse sss ... maybe I'm wrong.
you may also post the settings for reference of your leaf??

Grazie beppe

sorry daniele but i suggest you to use a diffuse + glossy for a more interesting result, anyway i prefer the specular + glossy, it's a bit slower but not to much
here is an example of diffuse-sss+glossy
ciao beppe

p.s. i forgot to mention that this tree is made with Treesketch2 on iPad

nice looking tests.

bepeg4d - you mention Treesketch2 for the ipad, but a search on iTunes give me no result for a second version of Treesketch?

Only the original Treesketch figures in iTunes....?

cheers,
boom
