Fall Clouds

[Henry Blewer]

This is an early test render for a new project. I am having difficulty with the lighting, but I'll get it...

Great clouds Henry!

[Dune]

Indeed!

Very good Henry; this image delivers the feel of coolness in the air.

[MGebhart]

Henry, you are rendering mad man. Keep them coming, I really dig your work.

[Henry Blewer]

Thank you everyone!

Here is a full render at detail 1 and AA 7. I used the Catmull pixel shader.

But I am not quite as pleased with it as I thought I would have been. So, I'll start from scratch and keep the fall theme.

something's with your monitor, Henry, as all your images are way too dark. You must have a very bright monitor, I suppose.

[Henry Blewer]

Nope, not the monitor. I have it calibrated for Corel Paint X2. I have also checked it with Microsoft and the THX calibration available on some DVDs.

He he, I always think your images are too bright.

[Henry Blewer]

Here's a test render of a new scene. I kept in mind Frank's 'too dark' comment.
Rendered at detail 0.375 , AA 3. I increased the camera exposure and the render gamma.

You know, I still prefer the very first image.

[Henry Blewer]

A render with the sun low behind the clouds. A silhouette experiment really. This one is nice and dark.

Really like this one Henry.

[MacGyver]

The last one has photo quality! (perhaps because one can't see that much, actually )

[Henry Blewer]

lol. The sky came out really nice anyway.
