High mountains *updated*

Was testing out the Intersect Underlying options a bit more, and got a bit carried away. Ended up with another 'sea of clouds'

GI 2,2
AA 4
2 cloud layers
3 surface layers

Graded the 32-bit EXR in Photoshop CS3, exposure only (I have no qualms about treating a render like a negative).

That's nice.

The combination of the different cloud densities gives a realism that is missing in most similar scenes.

I will need to remember that

Excellent work.

Beautiful clouds and lighting!

Wonderfully done. I agree with the lighting and the clouds you've nailed this one.

Like the lighting and the color.

The scales of the cloud billows are perfect. The lighting and rocks look very real as well.

Very, very pretty, very realistic. Nice work.

/agree with Mr. Lamppost

love it, great clouds

JimB · January 12, 2008, 09:10:19 AM

Thanks for the kind comments everyone.

I decided to re-render with a different sun heading. Also added some lens blur and a bit of grain this time (why the hell not...)

Shit <with expression>

Now, I really love the lighting.

Will · January 12, 2008, 09:23:18 AM

some of the best clouds and lighting I've seen. I say image of the week.
