The translucency in the leaves is very realistic, but the area around sun looks a bit oversaturated.

Thanks!

I could reduce the density of the hazes, but nothing more. The bloom also adds to the saturation but is really necessary for the translucency and to avoid a crappy looking sun.

Another solution would be post pro...

Absolutely, though it is not really my principle

Yesterday Seth sent me an e-mail with his post pro version of this image, see below.
It definitely improved I think, what do you guys think?
I can make the same effect in TG quite easily. After all I tend to be a purist

I'm rendering a new version @ 3525 x 1500

It's finished within 24 hours. Please stay tuned

Et Voila!

Unless I find a very nice metal fence model I won't update this image anymore

I will post the original resolution later, somewhere. 3525x1500

and it took "just" 30 hours to render @ detail 1, AA10, GI 1/1 with SS-prepass.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I did creating it

uuh aahh, very beautiful. The lighting really works a like charm in this scene. So all the wait was worth it in the end, don't you think? :-)
cheers,
Frank

Thank you Frank

I'm quite happy with this one and indeed worth the waiting. You should really take a look at the original resolution next time you're on msn

Personally I especially like the lighting on the tall tree on the left foreground.

Great work! The blown out sun bugs me a little, but other than that, this is one of the best images I've ever seen.

efflux · January 30, 2009, 06:17:58 PM

Very nice. It works much better now. Lighting is great.

Volker Harun · January 31, 2009, 04:43:44 PM

GOOD ... GOOD ... :-)

MacGyver · February 02, 2009, 03:06:32 AM

I agree, very good effort!

I'm blinded by the sun

Did you add trees at the horizon? Looked a bit pixellated to me at first glance but I didn't know where it came from... $:-\$

Tangled-Universe · February 02, 2009, 03:44:13 AM

Thanks guys

MacGyver:
I duplicated the tree-populations and made them denser at the horizon.
The reason it can look pixelated is because this has been down-sized from the 3525x1500 original.

MacGyver · February 02, 2009, 04:25:09 AM

You're right, could well be the resizing!

Tangled-Universe · February 02, 2009, 04:33:24 AM

I'll upload the full res at deviantart tonight so you can see.
Another reason could also be that the density is slightly too low and since the trees are quite slim and tall they may look blocky in the distance. See for youself in the full res version as I don't have it here at work
