I am rendering one with 0.5 detail and AA 8 right now. Curious how it will look.
Ulco i actually use mostly AA6 and AA8 indeed when not needed more of course.

And as i had many versions i saw that the one i used had the sun strength not at 15
(that was a version with a much lower sun) as i said above.
It was 1.2 in this version. Soft shadow is ON this time.

I changed the water transparency to zero now as it is probably not much important here.

This will take a while. As it wasn't for the Ryzen 9 i bought lately i wouldn't do much of the latest renders probably.

Wasn't it something inside the render subdivision settings? Detail jittering or microvertex jittering?

Maybe. I will look later. For now postwork is OK. Thanks Hannes.

Dune

Isn't the line because of the 256 variation limit of a PF or something? And having to do with the x=0 line? Maybe shift the lake (if you used one).
I would indeed loose the transparency, but also the soft shadows won't be very visible. But if you have such a Ryzen monster, who cares?

Kadri

Thanks Ulco. I will have a look later.
Soft shadow won't be visible probably but yeah as you said why not :)

This looks wonderful. Awesome pic, well done.

Thank you.

I tried some softer renders. In one the water was bad because of some things i changed probably (using a planet,soft light or whatever).
I just didn't change those things and just added a soft light and tried the suggestions from Hannes and Ulco about the vertical lines.
It worked as it looks. Thanks.
Detail was 0.7, AA 8. I think especially the changes about water made the image very slow to render. Instead of 3-5 hours it took 14 hours.
But no problem for a still image.

Curious what you think about this softer version.

Hannes

I think, this is great now!

Dune

Yes, totally agree with Hannes. Terrific. But still I think detail 0.5 and maybe AA6 would yield similar results, and be faster. Maybe PT isn't even needed?

Kadri

Thanks guys.

Ulco it could be enough probably. I wanted just to be sure instead of many re-renderings.
My Terragen version is old 4.1.25 there is no PT. Maybe the water especially could look different but i don't know.

I like this one...I see you got rid of the "center line" in the water....that bugged me in the earlier one
