A new day dawns *V3*

Hi all,

thought I'd share this new image of mine.
The focus clearly is on the sky - it's more complex than it would look from the thumbnail. I have tried to add a tree populations but got too many ray trace errors. Probably something wrong with the TGO I was using. So no trees this time ;-)
Hope you like it, still.

Cheers,
Frank

Sky is like a watercolor. It's beautiful. To be very picky, it's a little pattern strong in a couple of places. But, nature can be funny that way, as well.

a real beauty Frank!....how many cloud layers, and did you add colour to any of these, or were they coloured purely by tg atmo?

FrankB · March 23, 2009, 11:40:18 AM

Thank you Calico - I see what you mean and I am already on it... not quite sure where the sharp lines come from, but I'll figure it out eventually.
Stay tuned for a second version.

Thanks!

Purely TG2, other than level adjustment in post, but no colors added "artificially". And it's 3 layers of clouds.

Cheers,

Some interesting clouds patterns here.

That is very impressive.

Nice work, Frank!

Beautiful dawn colours and excellent cloud formations. What do you attribute that crease across the sky to?

Not entirely certain, but if I change the cirrus cloud type from 2D to 3D, it goes away.

very nice colours Frank ^^

FrankB · March 24, 2009, 02:08:10 PM

here's a much polished second version.
Now has a few xfrog trees, Klas' gras and a windmill and fighter jet object I found over at terragen.org.

Please have a look at the full image, the thumbnail doesn't tell you much.

Hope you like it, comments welcome :-)

Cheers,
Frank

That is spectacular Frank. Personally the fighter jet doesn't do anything for me, but the rest is beautiful.
