procedural Christmas Ball contest

More decoration

Maybe we can add this decoration around the nice tree. I used the "hair script" to make it.

It's almost impossible to move the object with the hair script though.
 
Here we have the tree ready for the Chrismas Balls. :smile:

I copy / pasted the tree and rotated it slightly to give it more density. I can see a Christmas card in the making here. :smile:

The "new tree" with the higher density looks good.

I just tried to move the decoration, it works. You just have to move the helix object and then to click on the update buttom in the hair script. First the "hair" is on the old position, then it appears at the new position.

Ah, thanks Novus, I'll remember that. :icon_thumbup:
 
just a quick note to let you know I'm setting up the tree... if anyone has some more procedural to share, now it's the time :rolleyes:

Weedo, thanks for saving me the time to make the lights... a simplified version is already on the tree (well, some hundreds of instances actually :smile: )

cheers,
Alessandro
 
work... in... progress... (still... time... to... join... in...) :smile:

light/decorations test - ball materials still missing - fully instanced decorations (*Loving* ParticleSpline and Todd's PathedHelix.js) - fir tree made in Vue8 (exported as .3ds)

cheers,
Alessandro

P.S.: Novus I didn't use your "hair" festoon because I had (and wanted) to go the "instance" way ("only" 4Gb ram here... mine has 100000 -max?- instanced 4-quad-planes with alpha map to multiply 6x!). sorry. the idea is yours of course... ;)

Looks great Alessandro!

Here's another contribution. It was kind of lazy of me because it's made from the one I posted previously, but I'm really not good at the node system.

Never mind Alessandro. How did you make this "ribbon" (what is the correct name?) around the tree? Please explain it for beginners :)

The tree looks very nice. Please switch the lights on!

More like a particle xmas ball...

Here's my try. It's not done with nodes. It's particles. I'm not in for the contest, just for the spirit of the season.
Cheers!
I think I'll donate the ball... :D

Wow Alessandro great work like usually :icon_thumbup: :icon_thumbup: :icon_thumbup:

I think you/we should put more stars in the tree with the balls
and put something like this on the top

Cool materials guys :smile: :icon_thumbup:
