You are having fun   Nice!

Water looks very good, and I like the cypress roots.

[Zairyn Arsyn]

the water actually has some of its parameters animated (the transparency and decay distance) but its a slight change, not a big one.

i also plan on animating the clouds.

[MacGyver]

I like it, although I think the blurs the details a bit too much, considering the high resolution. Would be interesting to see a sharper version. Nevertheless, add a steamboat and you got a Louisiana swamp

the thing is, if you add a Steamboat, you would need a Mark Twain TGO to go along with it, or just Mark Twain himself.

i'll be sure and change the AA filter.

i modeled & added a new type of pylon, i call them "forkers", there untextured right now, but they'll soon have some textures.

added rocks, from the nwda fake stones pack, they look alright in my stone testing tgd, but i cant get the texturing / coloring right in the contest tgd. 
also added grass, needs closer spacing.... though i tried .5 and TG2 crashed.

C&C welcome

Nevertheless, add a steamboat and you got a Louisiana swamp

What if you extend the population of the knees, and add some (clumps of) bushes and/or long grass, towards the center of the water, as a smooth gradient from land to water. Then you'll have a real swamp feeling. Forget about the fake stones, they don't belong in a swamp. I wouldn't use the forks either, but that's my personal opinion. And perhaps reduce the size of the ivy on the big pylons, so they themselves would look bigger.

You must construct additional pylons.

here is storyboard version 3
detail 0.5
AA 3

-changed the texture on the pylons (for RTS)
-changed the ivy
-added third cloud layer
-adjusted the distribution of the cypress knees
-added object for frame 6

the monument in frame 6 is currently incomplete, still modeling parts of it. 

shoud i leave the pov in frame 1 the way it is?
i was considering changing the pov slightly, lowering it a little bit, changing the pitch for a more forward view.

C & C welcome

[Zairyn Arsyn]

the strange pylon monument...

this object will be seen in the last frame

its not complete, i'm still having some ideas.

C&C welcome

[Zairyn Arsyn]

here is what lies at the head of the river...
i know the surfacing on the ground needs some work

C&C welcome

[domdib]

It certainly looks eerie - if that's the effect you're after, I'd say you achieved it.

[Rudolfking]

It looks good, I like the forest!
Add more detail to the ground, it's a bit flat and blurred.

[Hannes]

This is going to be fantastic!
