Meadow with Pines

[Henry Blewer]

I used several power fractals as masks for this one. Marc Gebhart's Pines and Sugar Maple. Walli's grasses and ferns.

Sweet image Henry I see you're getting really comfortable with rendersettings etc.
The grasses have nice subtle variations. I'm not very sure about the tree-bark-texture, but further the trees look good.
I like these type of images a bit more with less "filling" of the atmosphere.

Very nice and calm looking image. I agree with TU that the bark texture looks little weird.

[Henry Blewer]

The bark is straight as Marc made it. Besides the power fractal mask test, I was messing with function driven clouds. I wanted to see it. But some wispy cirrus would have looked nice also.

Thanks for the comments!

What did you try with the clouds? Sounds interesting.

[inkydigit]

agree with TU...I have played with warped and functioned clouds (with some nice/interesting results)...I will see if I can dig out an image/clip file

[Henry Blewer]

I added voronoi noises and a displacement shader to the density shader. Nothing Volker would bother with, too simple.

Sweet! I want to go explore or lay in the shade!

[Henry Blewer]

Yea, me too. It's a bit too pristine to be real. I am going to add some weeds and stuff to make it less 'Park' looking.

Looking good. You need to build on this one with additional weeds, flowers and maybe a slightly higher haze.

the tree bark looks weird, out of place - imo.

other than that, this is a really great render,

[gregsandor]

What grasses do you use?

[Henry Blewer]

Those are Walli's, his grasses and ferns from the sampler pack.

Thanks.
