Final Product What You'll Be Creating

This entry is part 2 of 2 in the series Grassy Butterfly Scene

Grassy Butterfly Scene

Hey guys, We’ve got a nice one for you today…. yes, another butterfly tutorial. We will be creating a “non-realistic-semi-fantasy-looking-3d” butterfly from an insect point of view, but the main focus in this tutorial will be more on the final composition of all the different parts… how to get the final look. We’ll post Part 2 tomorrow.

    • splash

      hmmm i’d say you’re more of a number two….. *flush*

      tut result looks good. Butterflies are really impressive. Thanks

  • ashcat

    Looks really nice. I might try use a displacement map to give the grass a subtle movement.

    Thanks for posting

    • Luke

      How would you go about that?

      • Ashcat

        I havent tried yet but it would likely use a few different pre-comped grass layers that would be using a fractal noise layer as the displacement. Fractal noise can be very fiddley but you can get subtle movements from it which shouldn’t make the grass look like its made from jelly ;-) ..its just a theory at this moment though.

        Heres the tut from creative cow on displacement maps

        Or you could just use Turbulent Displace.
