mountains

[ThinkPink]

a new one ..... critics & comments are welcome

[rcallicotte]

Nice clouds.  The suspension of belief stops for me from the bottom of the closest valley moving back.  Otherwise, the mountain view is believable.

Very nice.  I am working on a similar image!

How did you pull off the foreground grass/weeds?  Are these populations of objects, or did you manipulate the ground for a grass effect?  Either way, this has some potential.

[ThinkPink]

@moodflow: There is no grass population in the picture. The effect is made with layers. The strukture is as follows:
Base colours (standard)
Grass (dark green)   Coverage: 1        (Fractal breakup: standard)  (alt./slope constr. as you like)
     - Grass (light green)   Coverage:  0.3125    (Fractal breakup: standard)
     - Flowers (yellow)      Coverage:  0.2         (Fractal breakup: (func.) 1.975)
     - Flowers (pink)         Coverage:  0.13125   (Fractal breakup: (func.) 0.8125)
     - Flowers (white)       Coverage:  0.13125   (Fractal breakup: (func.) 0.5)

That's all .... And then, after rendering, a little bit photoshop (contrast, sharpening)

Cool. I realy like the point of view, but I think the trees are a little to big to be in this height. They usually get smaller the higher up in the mountains they grow.

I agree with sjefen, the trees seems a bit overscaled. However, great work!

Very nice! I like your cirrus cloud,anything special about them?

[ThinkPink]

@sjefen & lucio: Yes, you're right with the trees. looks like cypresses in tuscany 

@mavcat: nothing special with the cirrus. The values are:

cloud altid.: 10600
Cloud depth:  10
Edge sharp.:   0.02
Cloud density:  1

The density shader is set to standard  (seed: 14260)
