Terrain GeoControl2 - Grass (Klas) - Render time more 80 hours (grass high quality !)

WOW! Love this. Photoreal and cool point of view. Nice lighting.

Wow. I'd say that the background needs some more work to fit in with foreground. Where is the grass from?

After thinking about this, I agree with nvseal about the background. It could use some more work to bring it up to the quality we see in the foreground.

very nice foreground Phyllo !

I'd say the opposite: the background looks very realistic - I like it - , but the foreground doesn't. Too regular patterns, too CG plants (not your fault, of course).

I really like the overall composition of this image, but there are a few issues that jump out to me. As Frank said, the grass looks a little too CG, but that could be fixed by adding another variation or model. The population also seems to end only a few meters in front of the camera on the left side, so you can see through it there. Finally, the background textures could use a little more variation to continue the impression of grass and make them interesting overall. Don't get me wrong, though - the overall setup and composition of the picture is quite nice

Certainly, but the contrast is sought, the second plan might be too heavy it seems to me!

Great comment ! Let me think about it
