Could you please redo this tutorial (or something like it) in cycles?

Excellent tutorial. Besides the cool image result, the coverage of particle systems and node editor was enlightening.

Um, observation. Using v2.63.13, the bevels, and the application of that modification, seems reluctant to play your way in those places were five edges converge. I suppose one could manually select those faces and insert-extrude [ctrl=f, i].

One more problem, the other faces come out as hexagons, instead of triangles and squares.

Just letting your know.

Have you applied the modifier so it become a real, rather than a virtual component of the mesh? The button for that is at the top of the modifier button.

Nice tutorial. The only thing is I’m having trouble adjusting the particle size and the random size. When I mess with the sliders, it doesn’t have any affect on their size at all. Does someone know how to solve this?

I like the video, very informative. I have followed it up to the final render stage but for some reason the rendering always gets stuck at processing scene data and doesn’t go any further. I am pretty sure it isn’t to do with my computer specs because I have rendered more demaning scenes. Any suggestions?

When i add the bevel modifer, the mesh stays triangles and doesn’t change to hexagons like yours do. I am using 2.62

sorry delete my comment! Anyway I found out the right key combo actually is E + ESC + alt S. I was doing wrong for some reason I confused with alt E, but it’s actually different!
