Agree the rocks look great - only thing I'd change is perhaps remove the grass on the steeper parts of the cliff - make it more bleak.

one of the best rock surfaces I have seen!......awesome!

Hetzen

Thanks for the replies guys. I think I'll leave this image now and start on something else.

Martin, you're absolutely right about the haze being noisy, I had Atmosphere on at 40 and the cloud setting at about 6 samples, I could of pumped it up a little more, but the way I did the water with PF, it would have taken days to render. So I think a little more R&D in that aspect is required to make the scene a little more render efficient. May come back to it when I don't need the machine for a weekend! :D

Domdib, I know what you mean about the grass on the cliff face, it was applied with a surface layer set at maximum slop angle, I guess I could use a paint shader to mask it out, but actually sort of like it there, I can imagine some nesting seaguls on the cliff face, or maybe it's some sort of algae growing there lower down. Anyway, thanks for your comments.

Cheers

Being Cornish, I'd say you got this spot on, Has the real desolate Cornish coastline look about it. Great rock textures.

I love the smell of caffine in the morning

good job.
hope to see a less grainy version (and a little more contrasted one maybe) ^^

Hetzen

Here you go. Managed to hijack a work colleages dual processor workstation last night. Then played with the exposure slightly.

Cheers

Indeed! This has come quite a long way from the first render to this. Congratulations!

Looking great.  One more suggestion perhaps?  With all the mist and water, perhaps a little bit of reflection on the rocks would look nice.

Very good Hetzen.

Archer is right.
So this is Disney World.  Can we live here?

Yes, you're probably right, although I'd hate to think what that will do to render times! I agree though, the rocks do look a little dry/pastel.
