It’s a pleasure to present you our latest feature. French archviz artist Matt Guetta reviews Itoo Software’s Forest Pack Pro for Max Underground: “… one of the easiest and most powerful plugins available for creating realistic vegetation environments.” Read the review.
Thanks Matt for your effort and the good reading.
Great work Matt, a very informative review and nice test scene!
Cool review, I was curious about FPP 🙂 Thanks!
Thanks all, happy to see the review is useful.
If you’ve got specific questions, I’ll do my best to answer.
Thanks for the great review.
I love your test scene! I’m wondering if you’d share briefly a little of your lighting setup and post processing. It looks to have film noise and purple fringing and subtle atmospheric affects maybe?
@paulb: Thanks. For lighting setup, I used an HDR combined with a
V-RaySun, you can find a tutorial on Peter Guthrie’s blog. For
post-processing, I combined passes from a 32-bit Exr with Photoshop and
made some basic color corrections (Curves, Levels…).
The Atmospheric effect was made with a blue-tinted Z-depth pass. Finally
I added color correction (color balance…) and effects
(vignetting, chromatic aberration…) with MagicBullet PhotoLooks.
