This was made using Max 2010,The reflection in the ball is a foliage shape inherent to 3D Max...(cherry bloom) (3 years and 93 days ago)
Beautiful render. Suppose render all those scattered Lines for grass take a lot of time. Hair modifier make the same thing with a grass bitmap but render time is also very long.As a simple suggestion.On light rollon,Advanced Effects there is an option named Projector map. If you click on None and then assign as Bitmap a photo with clouds, the white reflection on the ball will be more realistic. Good luck, excelent work. Reply »
