Tower and Trees *Update Page 3*

[RArcher]

Thanks everyone.  Ulco, the rocks are just the internal sphere object distorted and textured.  The cracks are from some very large scale voronoi.

The rocks rock!

Here is a smaller lower res test, same set up as previous but from an alternate point of view.  This POV gives a better sense of the difference in scale for each tower.

I like this last comp a good bit better. But now I can really see that the right most tower in really to big, I think. Looks nice though, just crazy big.

[otakar]

Very cool stuff, the last one is just great.

[Bjur]

Aww, i like it a lot in all aspects!

Madagascar comes into my mind. The home of lots of rly strange looking rock structures and plants/trees..

[Hannes]

The lighting is incredible! Looking forward to put my hands on TG3. We need a drooling smiley here!
Ah, got one...

[mhaze]

Wow! The last one is amazing! great light and a wonderful feeling of scale.

[Jo Kariboo]

Beautiful rocky creation. The first right of its close distance seems to me less realistic. Nice refreshing light !

[RArcher]

Maybe the final update here.  Similar to the last POV but much lower on the ground with some other things going on.  Here is a list of everything in the image:

6 Internal Sphere objects - distorted and textured.
Flock of Birds from Hannes
5 Elephant models posed in DAZ years ago
1 Baobab tree from the Xfrog Africa DVD
3 populations of Umbrella_Acacia from the Xfrog Africa DVD
1 population of Arrow_Poison from the Xfrog Africa DVD
2 populations of Egyption_Carissa from the Xfrog Africa DVD
2 populations of Dry_Grasspatch from Walli
1 population of Ryegrass from Walli
1 population of Dirt_Cluster from Walli

Terrific! It all comes together nicely. The elephants give it a very good sense of scale. Almost frightening, these huge rock outbursts. If they're termite hills, beware!

[Saurav]

The last one is great, love the sense of scale and the details on the rock towers. What were your render settings in the render node? GI, quality, AA etc.

[FrankB]

Fantastic work, Ryan!

These are beautiful! I'm loving the lighting in the shadows
