Fields - V2

... fields, baby.

Nice sense of space. I'm guessing that's your cumulus humilis hovering above the fields? The only thing that jars a little is what seems to be a population of trees to the far right. If these really were agricultural fields, wouldn't they be neatly contained beyond a fence or ditch?

As domdib says : great sense of space ;-) And very nice clouds, too...Maybe their bases are too flat, but it's a little detail !

Wow! This looks impressive...

Nice work.

Thanks guys... I have kept playing with the scene in the meantime, but nothing to show yet.

Regards,
Frank

I like it very much. Looks very natural.

GioMez · February 23, 2009, 07:30:57 AM

Agree with Hannes.
I also love the blue of the sky!

This reminds me in some way of some plowed fields I've seen before. Nice sky.

Thanks - I'm working on giving the ground more details. I have a reference photo for that, and man, this is more complicated than I thought in the first place.

The reference photo also has some tractor tracks crossing, and I find it not so easy to replicate them in a procedural way. I have also improved the clouds a little further. Maybe tomorrow I have another iteration for you to see.

Cheers,
Frank

I was just about to add a critique about a little bit of lack of details in the ground. Looking forward to see where you come up with.
I know it can be quite hard

The sense of scale is very nice in this image and the masking for the plants is very nicely done!

ok, here comes V2...

Awesome man, really like the way the foreground cloud turned out. The shape at the edges is good and the lighting is just right.
The rows of crops are more convincing now, looks good! I can just see that the hill in the background is covered in trees. Maybe you could render a seperate crop of that area at higher detail to get that a bit clearer. However, they are in the distance, so they may not be too detailed as well...dilemma's

Those clouds are the dogs bollocks.

much much better !
very good render.
Even if i am not a big fan of very contrasted renders, this one is really good
