Playing around with my covered bridge again.
I changed the POV, and the grass a little.
I also worked on the sky, and added a Queen Annes Lace model I built in C4D.
I know I haven't posted allot lately mainly because it takes so long for my
wimpy computer to render things (once I get the render settings to the point it doesn't crash).

This one too 138 hours to render
Detail: .85
AA: 11

My processor is an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 1.2 Gig with 3 Gig of Ram
Someday I hope to get a new machine.

Comments welcome as always.[attachimg=#]

138 hours.  O my gosh.  You've been patient.

I almost hate to say it, since so much work has gone into this.  But, it looks like this render is a little on the cartoon-like side.  If you wanted that, great.  If not, then consider doing things to bring lighting back around to more 3D-ish.  It looks sort of strong and flat.  If I can help, I'd say try bringing out more shadows by using only one direct light source with shadows turned on and a couple of other less strong light sources without shadows for some slight fill.  Maybe lower the sun.  I don't know.  I think you should have some more GI turned on, but 138 hours is a heavy price. 

Maybe the water has something going on it that is heavy on the clock.  Do you have any reflective anything turned on anywhere?
So this is Disney World.  Can we live here?
