Saints Ridge

[Jack]

a project I have worked on over the past couple of days its great to see the evolution of thumbnail sketches to this!!
the main cliff was inspired by the blue mountains in Australia I would love to go there oneday

trees and structures created by me the main cliff was created by voronoi 3d cell ontop of a large terragen metablob then i applied to levels of displacement to roughen it up a little. the out crop was done with the same method copying the group nodes from the main cliff to the outcrop metablob (very easy work^^)

added trees structures and light and wolla!! a 3 hour render.

enjoy^^

cheers guys
im please with how the structures blended in with the terrain, i didnt want great big white elephants sticking out of the cliff so i took the time to sketch out some organic shapes that are not too intrusive to the surrounding environment.

The arch structure is very well done, Jack. Excellent work here, looks like a very natural outcrop. I like this a lot and the scale of the trees makes it even better.
Even when I have a massive terrain, it'll look like a small one because I can't seem to scale things this well to make it look right, you done good, laddie! Very good!
