Loners *UPDATED*

A lone tree stands on a ridge overlooking a small valley, while a lone thunderhead looms in the distance.

The tree is one that was created by TerrAde over at Ashunder.

The thunderhead used the same cloud clip file as the one in my "Fishing Hole (WIP)" image posted earlier today.

The grass is my Grass7.tgo found over at Terranuts

The terrain is called "Cradle Rock" also found at Terranuts

I am rendering a larger version with higher quality settings but it is still rendering on one of my other machines. I will post it when it is finished.

I upload the grass, I like it !
Beautiful render, but I think it's possible to improve the cloud that I find too dense, too uniform !

Nice, I really like the light, agree with Phylloxera concerning the clouds. I have a similar image with one tree but I have many trouble to make the render, I'll try again in a lower resolution.

Really nice lighting and cloud.

This is magnificent. Great lighting.

Light like cider. Like the grassy down too.

Grass has a soft "meadow" feeling great render

Have to agree with everyone else the lighting is FAB!

I for one like, the cloud the way it is, I have seen them just like that. The only thing I would change is; add a little variation into the grass.

Where can I get a bottle that big?

The three litre tanks from ASDA are not enough Hic'

Following one crash after 78hrs
This render took 97hr 15min
I change the POV very slightly by pushing in a bit, and thats it.
Settings:
Detail .8
Anti-aliasing 7
GI Detail 3
GI Samples 1

I'm happy the way it turned out it reminds me of some of the Thunderhead we would get where I lived near Bishop CA.

amazing light and colours !!!
great grass and tree.
i am not a fan of the cloud but it's a outstanding one as the other pieces of this render !
very good job man !

Phylloxera · March 25, 2008, 02:33:54 AM

Yes great render; but I don't like the cloud, it's not my taste !

This is an incredible render. I like the lighting very much...to say it again. I like the clouds - very storybook.
