Finished Lothlorien Vegetation

[Eriol_Eandur]

I got an idea for light in Lothlorien and making leaves looking permeable for light.

I like the idea ...

A lot of light below the trees was very important to me from the beginning of the project till now. I tried a lot to achieve this (inclusive hiding Glowstone below carpets). Finally @Ryiw and I made a lot of 1x1holes in the canopies of the trees where it was too dark at the ground. Without shaders this works very well and it's very hard to spot these holes. I think this method worked very well and all regions of Lothlorien except Caras Galadhon and Cerin Amroth have enough light on the ground (use video setting > brighness set to bright). I can't say how it looks like with shaders, my computer always crashes when I try to use shaders. In Caras Galadhon and Cerin Amroth the large fletts are the problem. Small shafts of light permeable leaves will not help there and I don't think it is a good idea to make the planks of the fletts light permeable.
Some larger shafts of light permeable leaves could probably help there, I think we could try that.
But we have to be careful to get...

... just the right shadow to keep the forest vibe.

I also fear this could bring up problems when using shaders, like beams of light out ouf nowhere. I would be happy about some feedback of shader experienced people about this point.

Elves don't need furniture! They just roam around all day singing songs.

....right?

Ill make some shader screens for the Times, mostly with SEUS

I just replaced a lot of leaves in Lothlorien with red glass. I think it's looking very well without shaders. Would be happy about feedback. And please show me how it is with shaders on.
To retexture the red glass you have to copy the the file:
..\.minecraft\resourcepacks\Lothlorien\assets\minecraft\textures\blocks\wool_colored_white.png to
..\.minecraft\resourcepacks\Lothlorien\assets\minecraft\textures\blocks\glass_red.png

If those streams are gonna be much smaller then the big rivers then I would really love to see some trees that have fallen over a little stream. Like this:

Mallorn trees dont really die

I don't think that is stated anywhere. Plus, well, there are trees other than mellyrn anyway.

Any update about this?

@Ma5terMinD I think it already is done.
Also @RubenPieterMark that is a post that is ONE year old you responded to.

I havent noticed any red glass in lothlorien when I flew by.

Really? cause I saw it all over the place in Caras Galadhon, and I always asked why it was there since there's no server texture for it, and anything with the default textures pretty much always looks
out-of-place anywhere on the server to me

 

[Eriol_Eandur]

I have too many other stuff to do and changed back the glass to wool for now.

But I will keep this in mind.
