Creating Trees in Maya Onyx Forests Techniques
The Gnomon Workshop: Date: 2012-11-29 Disks: xx/51: This DVD explores how to incorporate the Onyx Tree suite of
programs into a Maya and Mental Ray workflow, while
demonstrating scene layout and rendering techniques that
apply to any artist interested in natural environments. We
begin with Onyx Broadleaf, an invaluable tool for quickly
creating a diverse library of physically accurate trees
The user interface is explained while demonstrating how to
export geometry to Maya, including wind animation and a
custom Gnomon mel script for importing Onyx animation
Beyond Onyx animation, we also look at how to use softbody
lattices to manually animate tree leaves for quick
turnaround animation. A thorough demonstration of physical
sun/sky, final gather and miaMaterials for trees is then
provided including a detailed review of how to create
custom leaf textures from scans. Broadleaf techniques
culminate in the creation of an overgrown Highway scene
with a final 4k composite in After Effects that includes
beauty, Zdepth, fog passes and post-process effects with
the Lenscare, Magic Bullet and Sapphire plug-ins. Moving
on, we then explore Onyx Conifer, Palm and Bamboo in equal
detail discussing library and rendering techniques for each
type of tree concluding with a photorealistic bamboo forest
that introduces final gather techniques for deep shadow
environments. We wrap up the DVD with a demonstration of
Mental Ray proxies, allowing environment artists a
methodology for populating scenes with billions of
polygons. Suited to both students and professionals, Alex
shares his in-depth knowledge hoping to inspire artists to
delve further into the world of natural CG environments
