Terragen instagram style

[Cocateho]

Ok, so not instagram but google pics. Ran one of my renders through a few edits and just for kicks put one of those cheesy "vintage" filters on and oddly it turned out pretty good in my opinion, although not exactly photo real.

On a side note I've put aside several pieces I was working on after re-organizing my objects files and now when I open up a project I made before doing that it can't locate the objects  is there any easy fix for this?

You can reorganize them back to the way they were.  Outside of that, painstakingly relocating the objects in each of your .tgd's.  I realized this fairly early on and planned my system around it.  Even so, I'm still left with a patch work file system that rigidly cannot be easily changed.

On the image:  It's not a bad image, but Instagram is everything that is wrong with modern photography.  And I use the word photography in the loosest possible sense.  Whenever I see an image that is very obviously "instagrammed", I immediately dismiss it as irrelevant. It reveals the takers desperation to inject some sort of sentimentalism and meaning into what is an otherwise empty, vapid picture, typically "selfies".  If such filters are used at all, they should be used sparingly and not very obviously, and should enhance, rather than dominate, the image.

Well, that's just my two cents...

lol!

Well I feel a little torn after reading UI's post. On the one hand I feel like insta filters make everything look the same, so UI's crits have some weight I think.

On the other hand, I like it. I like that aesthetic. Its like candy to me, not very good for you but tastes great. And in truth, regardless of if an images has something special in it before a filter or not, this look always pops to me. That said, I don't look at much "popular photography" on line so things like this still read as fresh to me.

I too realized halfway my TG work that you can't change the object folders, so some have crazy names, or are not very well organized. It would be interesting (regarding that sidenote) if TG could have a built in search function that could locate the files in designated folders/partitions.
Perhaps the library would take care of that, I don't know, I don't use it.

Yes, the library can in fact, search folders for objects and may indeed aid in relocating files in your new file system (use the gear icon in the library).  Although, to my knowledge, it cannot resort the files themselves any easier than your OS.

And more on my image comments, the only thing I don't care for in the way you filtered this particular image is the scratches and spots.  They seem a little too in the way.  The colour, I think, is good and used effectively.

I like the overall look of the render. Nice colors

It seems you guys have the same distaste for cheap filters as I normally do, but I'm glad I'm not crazy in thinking it actually kinda worked for this image. This was just a spur of the moment "hmmm, I wonder what that'd look like" haha 

As for my my object files I guess I'll have to suck it up and redo my objects in any old projects  sad day...
