Exploring the Grass Effect

I was inspired by the grass concept I used during my last project and wanted to do something more sofisticated and more realistic with it. So I dropped the cartoonistic colors and went for more natural scenario and colors.

As always, I hope you guys like it!

Maybe adding some camera focus / blur.
Or a different lens type. The blue flowers on the hill, in the back. Give me a feeling of trees.

Have fun!

Looking good. Grape Hyacinth looks a good model.

The Anemones look too flat. Or at least need variations not so flat. You did mean it to be Anemones, as daisies would be out at a different time, and smaller or a taller type if that size I presume? I also think the flowers own leaves would show through the grass

The grass looks recently mown, very even in height. The grass also feels insipid, like it has suffered a period of drought and is yellowing.

Perhaps an HRDI background and used to light it too?

Referenced a photo on line.

Wow , what an amazing picture and thanks for the awesome feedback!

@NP5 Yes, there is a lot to be ajusted there. My main goal was to expand on the usage of the particle effect to create a “procedurally generated” garden. All the variations, and models in the final render where based on only 4 models I created very quickly, enhancing those would mean a great increase on the overall quality and the fell of variation of the final image.

That said, all the lighting and colors where chosen without much reference. I’ll definitely use your photo to enhance things around! Also, the sky is literaly just a blue wall :laughing:. I will be tweaking things around this weekend.
(The white flower was suposed to be daisies and this is the HDRI I used for the scene https://hdrihaven.com/hdri/?h=greenwich_park_02)

@FedPete Thanks for the feedback! I will try that too, camera is something I never remeber to ajust. Yeah, in the distance they look like little blue trees.

@Blest Thanks for the comlpement! I draw a lot of inspiration from your awesome work here on the forums!
