Dubh Tòrr (Black Hill)

I think the mystery long grass (long_grass.tgo) is Big Ben's. It has a complex internal shader network intended to facilitate changing the color by height or distance or whatever. I don't think that feature works, though - the object's internal network doesn't have access to the terrain information. At least I think that's the trouble.

The second one is a big improvement. I like the feel of it.
Like your signature to. He he.

Yes it was Big Ben's (identified by the complex internal shader network), thanks BB and thanks for pointing it out Harvey.

While I like the first one I think second is an improvement, I like the contrast and sense of distance created by the patch of sunlight on the abbey.  If you replace or re-position the model and render again  adding a touch of the mist back onto the water would be nice.

I know it's not very Scottish but with a bit of hunting around I found the scrubby bush I had in mind but the grass works well.

I have to say that I really like the first one, it has some sort of cold mood!!!
bbbrrrrr cold... 

I saw the rocky slopes, the snow in the top and the grayish grass...
I'm happy i'm in the Brazillian northeast

Well I've finally done with this one, moved the abbey, put back the fog (10 hours just to render that bit !) and fiddled with the levels in post. I'm moving on to something else now, maybe a city, or an English country side rural scene (Haywain anyone )
C&C  as usual (but I aint gona change anything now LOL)

Not being terribly well versed in all those quaint English terms like 'Haywain'  (  ), I could be totally missing the point here, but I just finished these last week... I've been meaning to send 'em off to Ashundar and Mr. Miley but haven't gotten around to it. Would these help?

Just to clarify, lest anyone take offense, these are derived from .3ds downloads from Turbosquid.

Hehe, great minds huh?
Thats about the right sort of thing. I was referring to about the most "rural" English painting ever made (supposedly), Constable's Haywain http://www.thelilypad.co.uk/haywain.html. I reccon it would make a great TG scene. Thanks for the offer and I may take you up on it in a week or two. I've already started on a scifi city scene, halfway through the building modeling already, so I'll take a rain check on that for now. Thanks again.b Models look great by the way
