Hi all. Just a quick one (oooerrr mrs). This sort of came about by accident, though I'm quite pleased with the results. I only rendered it small cause its still being worked on. There will be another version of this coming soon. Anyway, hope you like.
C & C always welcome.

That is a fantastic image. I love the point of view. Great job.
How do you place your single objects? I think it's hard to understand where the objects actually hit the ground. The bounding box don't help me much.
Anyways..... looking forward to the updates.

Very nice!!! I looooove the lightning!!  Great job!

[mr-miley]

Ta very much both. 

sjefen, The object placement was a real pain. Because the first tower is quite a way from the camera it made it awkward to get its plinth "on the ground" cause its very small at that distance. It was made even more of a pain by the fact that the base of the plinth isn't the 0,0,0 point of the object. It took me about 1/2 an hour to get the plinth on the ground

The front is very, very good.

He he..... Alright. Lets hope that this will be easyer to do in some of the next updates.

That is truly fantastic.  I love the setup, but I'm most impressed with the colouration and texture of the forground.  I can never seem to get grass and rocks to look like that!  Looking forward to further updates on this one!

As far as object placing is concerned I just tend to move my mouse over the preview pane to the rough area that I want and then type those values into the translate coordinate boxes for the object.  Then I move the camera around and click and drag the object around the preview pane for fine adjustments.  Takes a while, but usually works.  I also do very rough sample renders to check the positioning (about 320x240, detail 5) before repositioning as required.

That's what I do to, but I think it's really difficult. It takes a lot of time.

Wow .... that's great !!! The lightning is fantastic .....

[mr-miley]

Lightning?.... lightning?? I wasn't aware of adding any lightning *opens up TGTP and checks Objects* Nope, can't see no lightning!
