Shhhh...Oshyan!

Now Badger doesn't believe I'm an arcane magician anymore

Yes, image two looks great. As was said, Volume Density settings are perfect for that type of look. I did something like a Lake Diablo type look some time back.

Still think more than a few of you are half human half computer hybrids from outer space. Never really liked the idea of wizards though. I always thought if I met Harry Potter I would want to punch him. At least I always want to punch adults who go to harry potter movies dressed up as wizards. Also, cyborgs are much cooler than wizards, cuz cyborgs get lasers and wizards just have wands, and I like guns more than wood sticks. Either way, you still make good renders.

Some may have seen an earlier version of this on FB, but here's a new iteration.

This is only the top half of the image.
I'm still working on the bottom section of the render and I still have to pursue some other ideas for improvement, like changing some tree types and placing some big boulders here and there, as well as some dirt/twigs and suchs.
Quite a lot of work to do, actually.

Anyhow, enjoy, hopefully.

Cheers,
Martin

much mo better here, like this a lot

Agree with Oshyan on the water.

[Dune]

Volume density settings even takes lines of colors, so there's a lot you can do (whirls of silt). Or add a surface shader under the water and have a 0.2 like coverage, decreases the reflection a bit, but also colors the water. Sometimes decreasing reflection isn't a bad idea anyway.

Looks already very nice Martin.Curious about the lower half.

[Tangled-Universe]

Lower half is on its way...

Lower half is on its way...

woo hoo 

[AP]

Looking forward to it.

My co-worker was asking me if I was looking for tree references ... he didn't get that that this first image posted here was a render

[Tangled-Universe]

Here's how the stones look so far...sorry for the inferior quality, the other render took way too long.

[bobbystahr]

Wow...them r nice rocks indeed.

[mhaze]

The rocks are great just like granite a few small cracks and they'd be perfect.  The water looks just like recent glacial melt just be fore all the sediment settles.

[Tangled-Universe]

Thanks Mick

Like glacial melts indeed and it's too strong to my taste, in retrospect.
If it's glacial melt, then where's some of the snow which I would expect to be around, still?
That didn't seem right to me, so I changed to colours a bit.
