Hmm... we're halfway through November and it already looks like I'm pining for summer .

[dhavalmistry]

I think the lighting is perfect....I also like the variation in the shrubs and trees.......good one....

is the grass TG2 native grass??

[Tangled-Universe]

This looks really nice. I like all the species of flowers, nice variations
I like the tree models as well and the overall render-quality is very good (keeping the (heavy?) scene in mind).
Great work o_b!

Like your foliage.  Is it all xFrog or a combination?  Which part is xFrog and which package is it from, if you did you use xFrog?

[efflux]

The variety is good. Repetition of the same vegetation kills many renders for me but not in this one. Cool work.

Thanks guys .
Calico - the models are from the Xfrog tropics set, except for the blue flowers which are from Ogre.

You an me both OB...we had a few sprinklings of snow up here in the soon to be frozen north...Stellar image...makes me long for the day I can afford the full app and more than 3 populations....not really too dark but I might have played a bit more with eithe ambient occlusion or the other one in that tab so as to peer into the shadows a tad....great compo tho...thanx for posting this inspirational[to me at least] piece.. ...

Did you modify the leaves or bark or anything?

Thanks guys .

I applied a bit of translucency to all of the leaves, but other than that, everything is unchanged.

I like your image, I would leave the lighting as it is as woodlands of that type tend to have that kind of illumination and brightness from ones I have been to in the past if recollection serves. Fine image, great job.

Regards to you.

Thanks for the intel, sir.

Seems like GI is off, no? If so I think it would improve the scene a lot to have it on. But the scene, especially the vegetation, is great. Just needs a bit better lighting to really make it shine.

GI was on, but I'll try upping the quality and playing with some other settings.
