Blue moment

This one is very close to what I saw every morning few weeks ago while driving at work

Rendertime was almost 71h, because of ray traced shadows.
Comments and suggestions welcome

nice light
i really like the reflection of the sun on the ground

Totally agree with Seth. Looks lovely, great scene!

(Next time you can save a lot of rendertime by only rendering a crop of the part where you needed the raytraced atmosphere for (as I suppose you wanted to prevent the sun from shining through the terrain) instead of the whole image.)

Very nice! But did you really need the RT shadows?

Seth · April 13, 2011, 09:27:37 AM

yes I think he needs it to prevent the sun coming through his terrain and vegetation, as Martin stated before.
well, I guess ^^

Great work here. It does look like the early winter morning.

Thanks a lot for your comments. Yes, I needed the RT shadows because sun was shining through the hill

Nice morning scene , Mor

71h is a very long time . I hope-wish Matt will make such renders faster in the future with new updates!

I agree!!!

Well that is good. Very very nice. 71 hours is mad. Is it just the shadows causing that?

Yes the shadows caused that. Detail is 0.65 and AA 4.
