Ken Gilliland's Products In Renders

[JOdel]

I gather that those are from a flowering tree (from Hawaii, rather than Australia, although they may have it there as well, by now.). And, like most of Ken's props are designed for close-ups.

 

[Miss B]

Yes, it's a Hawaiian tree.

I have seen pictures of Australian birds in trees that looked similar though. I wish there were more flowering plants available from Australia.

There are a few, though very few flowering plants. I know X-frog's Eucalyptus has flowering material options (although I don't know if they'll hold up too well in close focus). Talking with Stewart (X-frog's CEO) recently, he did mentioned that he's been upgrading all the libraries with high polygon count models over the past few years-- so maybe they're they do hold up better now.

Search DAZ3D under "australia" and/or "outback"; also X-frog (sold through CGTrader) has Australian plants scattered throughout its 3 volume "Oceania" libraries (though they are somewhat expensive and require some conversion/material setup)

There is also your Kiwi Burrow Ken, which I have used in some renders that I will be putting up soon.

 

[Ken Gilliland]

I use the Kiwi burrow often for the "wet" areas of Australia... for the dry, outback mallee areas, I use X-frogs Oceania volumes and AMLM's Australian Outback set (DAZ)... I actually used that "outback" set for my Razor Grinder (cicada) render

Wow, June's been crazy, hardly any art time. Here's one image though...

Dance of the Grebes

They look like they're having a good time splashing in the water.

Here is another of the wonderful Lyrebirds that are now available!

"Straya" is a shortening of "Australia".

Never having lived in an area where there were Cicadas, all that I knew about them was that they appeared in masses every few years & made a lot of noise. After seeing Ken Gilliland's Cicadas I realized that they were also beautiful!

Your brightening of this scene really makes it stand out!

 

[Miss B]

I have to agree.

 

[Carey]

Your brightening of this scene really makes it stand out!

if you really look you will see all kinds of changes starting with the rain drops...It still isn't as light as it was in my art program darn it...

[Flint_Hawk]

I love your use of colors! Very well done scene!

It was a surprise to me when I found out that Cicadas are even used to create jewelry.
