Rebirth

[Seth]

my computer is just an old machine so yeah 100 hours...
as for the clouds... well i am not the specialist in here but as far as i understand, i prefer using the perlin billow to have this bubbling look... i usually use big scale clouds with a smallest scale between 10 to 50 and a lead-in scale from 5000 to 25000...
i must admit i am usually lucky and i tweak a lot the parameters of the cloud layer...
i think the most important thing to achieve something close to reality in all aspect is the light and the atmo (one can't go without the other)... this one has haze 4 and bluesky 2, but i love to use 1 and 1...


ooookay here is the tgc of the fake stones... try to play with them before using them

Superb image, very realistic. I think I prefer the second one, with out the post work. The plant certainly seems to look better in that one, and the lighting is a wee bit more realistic, though I suppose it all depends on what look you were going for. Don't get me wrong, I think the 1st one you posted was superb, incredibly realistic, its just that hteres something about the lighting in the 2nd one....

STONES?  STONES!?  You've got some real stones to give us stones like this for free!  They need to be in the Rock Library.   

Thanks Seth.  I like the new trim job. 

[Seth]

thanks all ^^

@mr-miley : i truely understand your statement about light ! i am just looking for p-w techniques to try to improve my renders and sometimes ... well... sometimes it's better without it
to be honest, i loved the light i did for my previous render (here) but i didn't manage to do something as good in this one... i was lazy...

I like the original one more. Nice stones.

Have fun, the renderosity people will kill you with comments.

The shape of those clouds look like vueclouds so much

But these have too much detail in areas where they are not highlighted, making it looking weird a little.

hehe ^^

I love this version now, the plastic looking plant took away the appeal of the rest of the image for me before. Now though, it looks great, top job again, man!

Have fun, the renderosity people will kill you with comments.

Lol, not half! I rarely see any constructively critical/helpful comments on my images at Renderosity, except for Joel(yes, you, Phyllo ) it's the last place I upload to, and usually only as an afterthought, if there's nothing else left to click on my screen.
