Ok thanks and instead the one on bottom left of this picture?

Here I tried to modify my tod and arranced a beach scene similar to the one in the real picture ...

What do you think ? please be critical and constructive so that I can change what's needed and improve it thankyou ....

 

Are you comparing your creation on the left to the photo on the right? Very well done! How can I go there?

 

Go where?

 

Looks great, Naima. My only criticism is this: check out how the leaves are arranged on the real Beach Naupaka vs. your version - they're not in flat sprays, the way you've got them, but in sort of rounder bunches, more like the palms.

 

yes I dont like how it come out the bush , but what you mean the round display like palms?

Also can you suggest some picture of grass types and eventually flower plants for jungle , tropical islands and rainforest?

right now I was improving the ivy , the lianas and the bromeliads...

 

The leaves on palms are arranged in a spiral - if you look closely, you'll find that the leaves on Beach Naupaka are arranged similarly - around the stems, rather than flatly along them.

For grasses in the jungle, there really aren't any that you'd think "grass" about that occur in untouched jungle - grass in that sense requires more sun than it would get in a jungle environment. However there is bamboo - this is most definitely a jungle thing, particularly in the higher altitudes.

For flowers, take a look at http://fm2.fieldmuseum.org/plantguides/color_images.asp and search on "Gesneriaceae" and "Ericaceae" - that will get you tons of photos, quite detailed ones, of the two most common jungle genera in the New World. For Old World, go to www.tropicos.org and search the photos there; I'm not as up on my old-world tropical flowers, but you can restrict the search by continent and often country. "Zingiberales" is a good starting point, though.

 

I still not understand whats the difference in the arangement that you mean ... technically in the model view

the leaves of the palms are flat horizont like then they bend toward terrain , disposed as star all arlund the center top and make a sort of Ball shape .....

You mean that the overall ball shape should be applied to the naupaka too or that instead you mean may be the arangement of leaves or what?

 

I have remade the shape of the bush how about that?

To your created paradise. It was a joke.

 

Oh lol ... sorry :) ...

 

Ok new version how about this hsape and look now ?

That's a lot better - and certainly more visually consistent with the real Naupaka.

 

Here A Rework of the Bush and a New Comparison Picture .....

How's now ?




And a Sunset ...

Here are some New Beach Rocks , smoothed and wind eroded , I tried to get inspiration from Seycelles beach rocks ....


What you think ?

 

Here a Distant View ...

 

Here is a Top view of the Welcome Island , I still have to find a better name , maay be I will call it Las Arenas Rosadas , due ot my SL Island and to the Rock colors slightly pink ....

 

Tha'ts my most polygonal model , around 18k faces for the waterfall , but I made also a total of 5 lods for it up to 500 polys ...

 

Gorgeous. I think, apart from the flowers you were talking about earlier, that you're pretty close to done!

Quick question: are you thinking of putting in insect/bird/mammal life as well?

 

Yeh Actually I was making also some life forms , For now those are the ones I made....

I plan to make an arboricolar Monkey like a Capucine or a spider monkey ...

tree frog, normal frog, Tucan , Flamingo , Eventually if I am able a Jaguar like Big Cat ... and may be some "weird" animals like may be some prehistoric fishes or extinct animals ...

 

Here is a link to the species list on a (mostly) tropical plant database I keep, some of the more detailed photos might help. There are a lot of photos, but most of them are closeups of flower, leaf, fruit, etc. http://anthrome.wordpress.com/species-list/

 

Thankyou All helps :) ....

btw , if there are officinal plants , curative plants or othe rkind of "usable" plants in medicine or else may be It could be interesting to also make a sort of minigame in the same game to collect like piece of this or that to create some kind of inguents and such for survival and so on ...

 

Also may be is not a right forum but if you have a front and side picture of a capucine or a spider monkey would help too :) ...

 

Those I have. Give me until later today to dig them out of my archives.

 

Here is a new update picture of the Kapok Tree , injungle scenery and out for silouette scene ...

Comments and critiques welcomed ...
