Great and natual render!
As dirk said "Dune styled"

Meanwhile I think an official predicate

...ähämmm... I see a boat that moored at the jetty but I'm still on the search for the sunken boat...

Thanks guys. Just beyond it in the same ditch. The guys who commissioned this complain about the cows being too modern, so I have to give them a more antique look

Maybe something like this?

A bit too ancient, haha. Thanks Klaus! Interesting.

Updated version.

Very nice achievement and historically instructive!

Amazing. Lots of things to discover.

One more test scene.

Would ancient settlements like that have piles of old rotting wood? You'd think everything would be used for something, or burned to cook.

Really like the liveliness of the scene. Can see them at work even though it's a still.

You have a point, but I needed some 'stuff' to make the yard a bit less sterile. Which is always a bit of a struggle. But they may have been rescued parts of the sunken boat, waiting to be burned in the stove... They would probably not have made a doghouse either

Absolutely!

I also find the texture of the peat tiles and the recognizable layers of soil remarkable!

Very nice work on the objects, characters and textures. With the bird's eye view I told myself that the workers were creating corridors for the water, but with this last shot I realize he cuts the peat with precision. Out of curiosity, what was he doing with this peat?

They used it as fuel (once dried), very common practise in the old days. This was around 1530 AD. The pits were separated by small areas, because otherwise they would flood too soon.

Thank you Dune for this informations.
