SECONDARY
GEOMETRY

Using Pixar's custom Mel procedures to create secondary geometry, including a custom UI to let users control size, 
position, color, and orientation to the scene

Software

Maya, Renderman

Method Used

​

 

 

Create RiMel and Mel to control random size and position of the secondary geometry, also how much scatter they will be.

FX Technique

Then create first base geometry. I used a "SPEEDTREE" to create a tree trunk and bring into maya through alembic. 

 

Attach half spheres to the branches to be used as base to populate the secondary geometry: the leaves and constraint base spheres to the tree so they will sway with wind force
