Project Dogwaffle is a PC paint and animation program. Using the Optipustics particle brushes, you can paint realistic grass, shrubs and other foliage, even animated waterfalls and fireworks, to use as part of a 3D scene rendering by mapping the created textures onto rectangular polygons acting as billboards. Here's an example of putting it all together: Using a seamless texture for the ground floor, and trees by DigArts as well as tufts of grass from PD Pro.
DigArts makes excellent collections of trees and shrubbery for painting and 3D compositions. Try the free samples, buy the complete sets. ![]() rendering of simple 3D scene with billboard trees properly casting shadows |
