Alpine heights

[lightning]

a project i have been working on over the last week

terrain made in geocontrol there are over 35 surface layers on the terrain which is quite alot for my standards
rendered over 8 cores took 10 hours to render

all vegetation i made myself except for the pine tree which is from my xfrog US conifer dvd

enjoy

here is the link for the tree version

I like it, I can almost hear Julie Andrews.  On second thoughts I absolutely HATE it, nobody should ever hear Julie Andrews ever!  Pass the sick bag please.   

Seriously though I think the mountains in the background could be a little darker and possibly a bit of variation in the colour.

a) What are your cores clocked at.

b) Do you use the deep version that has multicore support?

my question is : how the hell did you do the wind blowing snow at the edge of the mountains ?! Oo

[Phylloxera]

Beautiful and realistic grass !

[Tangled-Universe]

Very nice grasses indeed!
You've created a fine piece of work with combining all these elements into a working scene.
The haze is well done, creates the expected depth and sense of scale of the mountains.
The wind-blown snow is awesome Could you elaborate on how you did that?
I like the version without the pine most by the way.

I agree with Mr. Lamppost about the mountains and not about Julie Andrews.   

Your grass is phenomenal.

I'm with Seth93. How in the hell did you do that exactly?

I'm guessing PS

thanks guys!
Will you guessed right
just all i did was create a new layer then used the smudge tool and just lightly smudged the snow on the peak then set the opacity of the layer to 45% just so its not to bold

what do you mean cores clocked at?
all i did was split the picture into 8 then set the efillity or watever you call it to 8 different cores then put it altogether in photoshop
oh and no i don't have deep with multicore support but i have the normal deep though

In a TG-pov or a TG-purist's-pov that's a disappointment Nevertheless, it's a very nice touch

i tried to attempt it within terragen but its more trouble than its worth

[Xpleet]

Well to be honest Lightning i thought you had some kind of leet Intel skulltrail system. Those can have 8 cores of CPU! lol
