California Coast

[yossam]

C&C welcome.

[Henry Blewer]

The sun light is just great IMHO. I would add some fake stones and some pines. See if you can find some photos of the northern California coast. They will help with the scales and populations.

Version 2. A sprinkling of rocks and two populations of Wallis' pines.

Looking good. There are more plants available at Terragen.org . If you are using the freeware version, Walli's 2nd pine shows more variation using populations. Mixing these with other types of trees helps the variation also.

hey i think its looking good-
I prefer the feel of the first render to be honest.
Are you aware of methods of post processing 32bit images?
I would suggest saving out of TG2 as a .exr and playing with the intensity of shadows / highlight in post.
32 bit allows you to play around with huge amounts of dynamic range!
Good stuff

looking good, so far!
maybe increase the edge softness of the clouds and increase the smallest scale of the cloud fractal?

Dramatic lighting here; and, I like the points of view.

Needs more atmo samples, IMO.

[yossam]

Samples were set to 48 on both Atmosphere and clouds.

throw samples all the way up to 64 is best on the safeside, good image BTW
