I want to have a height and a little warren almost for the bunny to be looking at. We’ll see how that goes.
Thinking of using this:
And
For references. I know…white rabbits change in seasons, but the colour is subject to change.
With higher opacity so you can see the profile I’m working on.
I actually ended up with a fairly low triangle count by comparison with the tutorial, but I couldn’t get the eye sockets to work right. We’ll see how it goes.
Without the background image. I’m going to append it since I made this in a seperate file and probably have to scale. We’ll see.
Now that I’ve done the hair I can see I’ll have to go back and make the bunny have more geometry. Bunny does not need speed lines.
Then again-maybe not-looks like bunny gets speed lines even at higher geometry.
Not sure entirely why…combing doesn’t seem to change it. Wonder if it’s a lighting or hair material issue?
His hair looks better though-but I think that’s because I was more practiced with getting it combed.
Different base model here-I liked the form better-had to change the fur to a darker material, since the tutorial asked for us to add in a chest blaze… and I added another vector group for around the eyes to highlight them.
Yes the ears aren’t great, the prior model’s ears are better, but I’m not concerned about changing them since I know I can just swap the ears from one model to the next.
This is after working on adding randomness to the model.
Also-no speed lines!
I did a new file for the white background grass, so I didn’t end up adding something I might not want to my file.
I do like having sculpt for my landscape texture…I’m hoping that it won’t mess up the render too much
So I scattered my grass and my plants, but in order to get the grass texture and coverage I wanted, at the end I cheated and added a hair particle system and thinned the roots down. I’m looking for a rougher, more mountain bluff/tundra in the summer look, so it worked out. Even the little nubs that are the roots help simulate some of the low laying ground cover you’ll find in between with rounded leaves.
If I was going for a meadow I certainly wouldn’t have done it this way, so your own project might not find it as useful. I also wanted something that would render relatively fast-since I use my computer for a ton of other things.
I’m relatively satisfied with how it looks, for this assignment, at least.
(In something more professional, there are some gripes I have, but I’m not spending twenty more hours -or more- fixing stuff that I already know how to work on.)
My render… I wanted something ethereal and different. There are bits here and there I could do better…more grass plants tufted, some rock objects, larger, textured leaves, and a background with may mountains or something in the distance, but this is for the assignment, and I know now (thanks michael) how to do all of those things.
So here is my rabbit scene.
