Arc Concept WIP

[Dune]

I would indeed loose the top trees, but I did like the clouds. Why not put a spherical building on top of that mountain where the trees still stand. Like a radar post, growing out of the top. A bit weird of coarse. I think the tower lacks definition, it's very spiky and simple. Perhaps some 'balconies' from which 'things' can be launched or dropped, or whatever.

[Jack]

I will see what i can cook up hehe thanks

[Jack]

this is a bit of an update changed the angle of the tower added some extra plants and colour variation put the old clouds back in added in an extra building and added the gas giant in

im still not happy with the trees they look to noisy and flat any idea on how to get them looking better?
increase the gi maybe?

[Oshyan]

What's your AA setting? Might need to increase it (or post-sharpen less).

its at 6 but i have changed the veg anyway with some better quality models I have cooked up

[Dune]

Why don't you thin them out, leave a few patches of these trees, scatter some (huge) rocks, maybe a scouting SciFi terrain truck among the rocks/trees. And you need a little fill in light for the circular building I think. That's my idea, anyway.

[domdib]

I don't really like the circular building, as it's too central and too big - it shifts the balance of the composition. But hey, it's your planet

Heh. Greeble

I'm looking forward to this.
Looks really cool

i rendered this before i got your feedback but im glad because i increased the tree size and I like this much better also messed around with the clouds abit more what do you think?

I will work on getting more variation in the trees tonight a few broadleafs nedd to be thrown in me thinks^^



p.s yup it is the greeble plugin hehe 

oooh ! gorgeous render ^^

[Jack]

here is one with some nicer looking trees. I think the big broadleaf tree has too greener leaves so i Will edit them a little I added some rocks from advice from dune and I Think they fit into the scene really well I also changed the clouds yet again But my final render will probably have the orginal since they seem to be the best so far
any more crits are more than welcome

[Jack]

here is another approach i have been working on. the clouds are a photo and post composed in with photoshop
also painted in some rain effects to add to the mood
the base image is one of m,y early renders the final if i chose to do it like this will have the modded veg etc

[MGebhart]

Dude, these are fantastic. Keep 'em coming.

[Kadri]

I like the last one too
Not so much your style but nice image!

[Jack]

here is a small crop of the final trees Im much happier with them now hehe



their are 4 different species

Do you think the mountain looks to barren maybe add some more green on it?
