Hey all,
I wanted to pose a challenge for us all, and see what we could come up with, using a base image and a few rules. Hopefully this will generate some creativity and some new ideas.
The image base render and .tgd file are attached.
The rules are pretty much:
1. Camera position, zoom, and FOV must not be changed. Otherwise it would be hard to compare images.
2. Sun position cannot be changed (changing other sun aspects is OK)
3. The base terrain cannot be changed (though modifying it with additional nodes is allowed, as well as adding more terrain if needed)
4. No post processing allowed, including cropping. The 4:3 ratio must be maintained. Using 3rd party to save as jpeg or other web-friendly format is allowed.
5. No restrictions on sky, clouds, water, additional lights/suns, objects, additional terrains, foliage, surfaces, colors, etc. It can be rendered at any size, just keep that 4:3 ratio. Obviously, higher res renders will likely look better.
Be sure to post what you've made! No time limits of course. I know it can take a while for TG2 to render. Just post it when you can. No obligations of course! (sounds like a sales pitch!)
