First upload

Hi all.

This is, obviously, the first time I`ve uploaded anything, but I hope some of you like it.

I`m still a rookie when it comes to TG2, but I`m sticking with it.[attachimg=#]

The drama here is good; I would try to tone down the contrast of the image just a little so that it isn't quite so blown out, and the whole image looks a bit blurry somehow.

can be very good if you try a hq render !

I agree with OB very much, the bright is like Jesus light. Nice cloud shapes though. I'd also say try tweaking the sun position to get fewer but larger godrays.

cool clouds...higher res would be great!

Those clouds are amazing.

Maybe tone down the haze a little.

Thanks for the comments.

I`ll have a try at some of these later today.

Only thing I need to figure out is how to make the clouds warp in a circular/curved way.

Good job with the clouds.

Ykies, just yikes!!!

I`ve changed several settings, as suggested (again thanks.)

Only problem now is the render time.
Started it a couple of nights ago before I went out. After seven hours it had done around a sixteenth. Bit too lengthy as I`m rarely in & can`t leave it running.

I`m going to leave it until Tonight or Saturday & let it run its course.
I`ll stick the image & the .tgd file on site when it`s done & feel free to play with it & show me how it should be done

What quality settings/atmospheric sample settings are you using?

silentgod · July 11, 2008, 07:04:01 AM

I`ve probably set everything too high, even without raytraced clouds.
I`ve uploaded the .tgd file so you can see what it`s set up like & play with if you alll want.
I`m going to set it going on Saturday when I`m back.

silentgod · July 15, 2008, 07:06:10 AM

Wow, this is taking forever.
Oh well, I`ll put the .tgc in the cloud library tomorrow & this full image when it`s finally done.

Cool beans. Thanks dude!

D*A*M*N! 47 Hours rendering time... reminds me of my 65h render that went wrong

PG · July 15, 2008, 02:39:36 PM

WOAH!!

Seriously, what settings are you using for that dude?
