Went back to using the Generate Terrain for the first time in a long while and found this attractive spot. I planted Dune's Moerascipres and the Atlas Cedar from XFROG and a Purple Willow low bush also an XFROG plus an exaggerated Dune grass 5.tgo for the swamp grass...worked O K I think. C&C as always welcome. Have a nice day, I am.
Very nice light effect in the clouds. I have the impression that with this very low sun, the forest would be a little darker than the one in your image.

Thanks man and very likely as I over-exposed it 2 stops on the 3D preview slider.
Maybe also decrease translucency to deepen the shadows a bit. You can also use the internal grass for swamp grasses if you stretch them (0.5-5-0.5 or so).
Another nice one, Bobby. You're making good use of those winter days.

will try that translucency tweak, thanks Ulco.
Nice one so far - curious how it comes out with the suggested changes :)
As Ulco suggested I pulled the Translucency way back and the scene appears darker as it should now, at least to may eyes.
Yes, but think this is more what your eyes would perceive with such low sun. A little more haze would also be good I think, to decrease the 'harshness' of the horizon clouds.

good thought...off to the chiro as it's Mon morning but will try that out when I return...
Hours later...
well I set it to render during my appt. but doubled the AA which is great for the image but am in hour 4 of the sky. Later today it will have proved a good idea but right now it's ticking me off heh heh.
checking back it seems I 'thought' I was doubling the AA but merely left it at 3 and made the mpD .6....sigh...shouldn't do set up before coffee...no idea why it's taking so long to render ...
11 seconds off 6 hours, was it worth it? C&C, as always, welcome.
Way more natural than the first iteration anyway. I wonder why it takes so long; easy cloud I presume?
Lovely cloudscape on this!
Great improvement!
Render time really sounds like easy-clouds.

Thanks Y'all and I'm as curious as the rest. Y got me on the time as well as it's a Ver. 2 cloud...must be this old DELL.
Nice!
I think it's quite a nice image. :)

All except the cloud density which could be toned down a tad, it's overall a quite enjoyable view. Your poor old Dell - maybe you should set up a GoFundMe page to get the good one fixed, or a to get a new one...

that's a thought, it's the default large cumulus free preset so I left it as is as it was done by someone who knew what they were doing but hey....inveterate tweaker that I am maybe will.
