Walli's NWDA Dry Grass

[FrankB]

showcased here, but carefully mixed in with Walli's other Fresh Grasses 1 - 3 in various variants, Crocus, Astilbe and Mouse Ear, Lilac and Dry Bush.
I think it must be around 15 populations here.

Oh, and a single Walli dandelion poking its head out in the lower right

Cheers,

Looks great!

Nice render Frank 

There is a interesting part -tree in the image. In the upper left part. The tree looks like it has a white kind of halo ?

[FrankB]

ah, yes, that one blossoming japanese tree from one of the xfrog libraries.

[Seth]

nice place for a walk !

Nice work .

that one blossoming japanese tree

I would cut it down, Frank, it looks just like the luminosity is set far too high. Or put it somewhere downhill, not set against the sky. Apart from that it's a very realistic scene, I really like it!

Thanks guys :-)

I forgot to mention this is an older scene I have posted here previously. I am just re-using this scene because I wanted to try to mix the dry grasses with the fresh ones, and I remembered I had a suitable scene set up already.

Old or new, it's still bloody fantastic, Frank!

I love the foreground where you can see the earth through the grasses, very nice!

[reck]

Yes very nice although I must admit I don't like the glowing tree either.

Is the DOF terragen?

[FrankB]

Thanks

yes the DOF is native TG2.

Frank

yes the DOF is native TG2.

I hope they manage to iron out the problems with the DOF for the next release so the rest of us can use it. I like how it works in this image.

[Walli]

very, very nice and I second that, DOF adds a lot to such scenes!

About the cherry - typical problem that can arise with with bright blossoms, often you have to reduce brightness of the texture to grey.

[FrankB]

I don't deem it problematic at all. If this was a photograph, the white petals would probably be overexposed, too, as they stand against the sun.
Actually and honestly, I find this cherry an eye catching element of the scene
