Winter Sunrise

RArcher · October 18, 2010, 10:31:39 AM

Not feeling particularly creative at the moment so here is yet another boring sunrise. I really like all the different colours that came out. A little disappointed that some of the tree trunks are a little too low poly, but they came out OK.

Thats one of those sunrises only nature gets away with!

Look very awesome to me. Nice work for someone who thinks he's in a rut...

I think this is really top quality work. I have seen posters sold which do not look this nice.

Exaxctly. you could easily win a photo competition with this render. One of the the more photo realistic renders I've seen around.

Superb render as usual!
Beautiful colours in this scene and the silhouetted trees really enhance it, low poly or not.

It is nice , Ryan

I feel the same as the comments above too!

love the scene, Ryan, beautiful!

Just splendid! Beautiful scene, as is usual!

Lovely work on the atmosphere! The trees fit well here.
Must have been a bit of puzzling with the cloud altitudes and sun elevation I'd guess

Thanks so much everyone. It's not that I don't like the picture, I think it is pretty nice, it's just that the entire picture isn't very creative, which is fine, but rather dull

Definitely a bit of a puzzle Martin, I started with the sun position around -5 then adjusted each cloud layer upwards slowly until they hit the colour / brightness that I wanted then did some additional atmosphere tweaks from there.

Gorgeous sky!

Gorgeous looking sky. The type you get the camera out to shoot HDR photos.

nice work Ryan! this is one of those natural sky phenomenon that is hard to do in TG but you did it!

FrankB · October 20, 2010, 11:52:59 AM

simply great, Ryan!
I'd say there no particular need for a great image to be complex, necessarily. You still made it a quite unique sunrise scene, no matter how many other scenes like that have been created. Sunrises / sunset amaze me personally. I don't think this will ever start to bore me.

Cheers,
Frank

A most refreshing scene of a sunrise. The colors are right on!
