Snowy Peak

Well it took 6+ days to render, but it finished.  I am not 100% sure what I think about it just yet.  I figured I'd still post it, atleast for the sake of my poor PC that had to endure the 6 days of torture!

Wow, the mountain shapes and surfacing are gorgeous! I'm not so sure about the density and distribution of the low clouds, but otherwise it's an outstanding piece.

I agree with Oshyan .  Great terrain, fantastic surfacing, odd clouds.

Awesome mountain scene! but i do agree theres something strange about the clouds, it seems like they are too white and don't match the blueish haze around the mountain? But i think worth the 6 days for sure!

The only thing about the clouds is the light intensity ... try lowering the brightness of the cloud colours (2 klicks on that slider)

Strangely, at that elevation they might look like that.  Or even brighter.

Great job for you and your slaving computer, Volker.  By the way, your recent work on cracks and texturing is amazing.

Ahha!  Yep, that was my biggest complaint with this one.  The clouds didn't match.  But I didn't want to cancel a render that had been going for 4 days.   

This image was inspired by Everest of course

This is a great image, however the sky is a little bright, if you look at either photographs or documentary film footage of any of the peaks over 8,000 meters including Everest you will find the the Atmosphere (IE Sky) gets darker with altitude and is the darkest blue you can get without been black. Any one here with a pilots license (Not me, though I do have an interest in aviation) will tell you the same thing, you can get to a point which is the edge of space 62.1 Miles (100 km) high but vary few aircraft can get that high.

Regards to you.

Ahh, this image was zoomed in on big time. 

Yes, for altitude, the sky gets darker.  I have 45 hours of flight time myself, including about 10 solo hours, but dont have my license just yet ;-)  Of course I haven't gone much higher than 10K feet.

Wonderful! Very convincing surfaces and beautiful clouds. Great job!
