Mirages

[Seth]

what do you think ? 

[Gannaingh]

Nice try Seth, But I can tell the ground is a photo Excellent work on this! The lighting in your vegitation is perfect, and the entire terrain is one of the most realistic ones I've seen come out of TG2!

[MacGyver]

Fantastic! This one really touched my heart. Not because of the Mirages, they don't add to the picture in my mind. I do love the ground though.

what do I think??

I think this is freaking gorgeous!!!

my only complain is clouds

[Seth]

hehe thanks guys !

@dhavalmistry : please tell me about the clouds... what's wrong with them ?

[dhavalmistry]

I think there is too much going on in the clouds. Maybe lower the fractal contrast and roughness. I have interpreted this as a clam image and I would prefer the clouds to be calm as well but that is just my opinion

[Henry Blewer]

I think the clouds are too blobby, at least in the foreground. I would up the edge detail. It will be difficult with this lighting I think. Even on real clouds in the real world, the details tend to merge.
Perhaps a ridged cloud noise would work better.

I think the lighting is great and the landscape is top notch.

Very nice render , Seth

O i see...
I guess it is a matter of taste and... well the horizontal fov is 100, so... it changes pretty much everything
and as stated by njeneb, with this light... ^^

Great work on surfaces and light !

[old_blaggard]

Great work. I don't really think the Mirages add very much but the ground is beautifully done. Perhaps increase the AA a smidgen next time, though, cause there are a couple of plants that look a bit too sharp to me.

Overall, though, this is a really nice image.

thanks

I'll see what I can do next ime ^^
i'll do some variations of this one because i had a lot of fun doing it

[RArcher]

Great one Franck!  I think the clouds are fine, and are beautiful as is.  Fantastic vegetation distribution, it really helps everything look natural!  My finger is itching to use the clone stamp to remove the airplanes though 

[Seth]

hehehe
I won't put them in the next one ! :p
thanks dude !
