LUSH R+D
A set of tests I ran a while back trying to work on an "Abstract Lush" concept for a client that didn't pan out.
Initial test (pink / purple) done with Cinema4D cloners + deformers. This result looked too stiff and artificial in my opinion.

Next iterations are done with hair simulation + plant models used as hair objects with deformation.
Below: Original Concept with cloners + deformers
Below: Viewport preview of the initial "Plants as hair objects" test. Proof of concept render to check that the motion looked natural before a more polished look.
Below: More polished look at the last test, grass included to fill the gaps. Blend of mograph + simulation.
Below: More fleshed out idea with more plant simulations running in tandem spread across rocks. This is where I left the idea for the time being.
