Nature bamboo rc1

Description:

A clump of bamboo stalks for the Blender Durian Sprint. These are all linked to one mesh. I failed to create variations, but some simple duplication, scaling and a mixed color on the mats will do. All textures are procedural.

Notes:

• Emit .001 set on the three bamboo textures, as a GI cheat.

• This has subsurf set, but with the way that the stalks are set up, this doesn't seem to be helping the stalks go from hexagons to dodecagons.

• This has SSS set, which really helps with the organic look of the material, even with error bumped up to .2

• Ray shadows on the key light are set to 4 sample, so they're pretty gritty, but this takes like 10 minutes to render at 1080p on my dual-core box so meh.

• The stalks to the leaves could use some UVmap work.
