last minute Halloween like-themed render... felt kinda bad not doing one.
probably missing a few things
objects-
Pine trees (3) : walli/nwda
Grass (2) : walli/nwda
dogrose bush : walli/nwda
C&C welcome
updated version medium quality vers. with mist/ground fog
C&C welcome
The last one looks good. The fog is up to the theme :)
Is this the same base scene you posted before? I forget its name Zaai.
yes i have used this before ;) http://forums.planetside.co.uk/index.php?topic=11588.0
just the the dogrose bushes, terrain PF & some of the masks (paint shader) some of the grass popluations might of have been used too.
everything else is different objects
i should have mentioned on that last render i used a final density modulator on the fog layer.
I really like the second one.............very good fog.
its getting better, i am currently tweaking it, and now its got a little more eerie-ness to it, as if its reaching out.
Thanks Zaai. Curious how the next render will look :)
just posted an new render on devart, will probably post on again on here soon (after i a good quality render out)

getting near to a final render i think, something bigger with even higher AA
changes:
fog tweaked slightly
more rocks added
light sources tweaked
C&C are welcome.
Looks good Zaai :)
The only problem i have is especially the bottom lighting looks so even.
like a too high ambient lighting. It does not look bad. And this is not a problem per see.
It looks more like a painting in this way to me.
the previous versions had AO & GI environment lights, now i just have AO, and the strength on surfaces is pretty low, atmo. strength is set at 0
this scene is pretty much lit by light sources now (a total of 4)
the fog has changed a little and Fake Stones are now darker.
im using the cloud layer functions on this fog, the fractals have been stretched too,
C&C are welcome
I like the swirly green cloud/s.
I love the final render Zaai - looks like a ghost in the trees. Superb! J
Nice and spooky :)
just posted a bigger updated render on DeviantArt
(Happy Halloween)

doing one more large render of this (3200x2400 pix) then i will be moving on to something else.
Poster size. Awesome!
Zaai not sure if you made this intentional but the one fog...arm that reaches nearly to the moon looks more like a cloud part now.
I liked the earlier look more.
kadri-
i think i was having to much fun tweaking cloud PF / functions, i got carried away, (i could do dozens of these), they look a little more the way they were before now.
has anyone ever paused a render and forgotten to un-pause it? well i did that today, left it paused the whole day (8 hours :( )
will have a widescreen version out soon (2560x1600)
so far it looks pretty spooky... ;)

LOL! Same here :)
13 hours render time, i cant remember but i think i used a higher AA.

i couldn't help myself, coming back to a older project.
looks a little a different, made some tweaks to the wisp cloud, might take it a little farther changing/adding vegation at some point.
C&C welcome.
Great, I like this last one!
this one is a bit bigger, i did some postwork, added grainy photographic film look to it with Virtual Darkroom, but you can see more details on the bark.
i would post it here, but its larger, and a png.

Terrific, very mystifying.
I like the last one!
added some new ground cover foilage from walli's weed pack, hopefully that render will be done by the time i get home.
Ahh the forgotten paused render lol! This last one is especially fantastical/mysterious... I love it!!!
:)
Love the spooky mood. My new wall paper for my mobile ;)
the clouds are alive!!
i've been working on making these clouds look more creepy, its turning out well.
added 3 new populations, weeds from wallis weed pack.
original was 2000x2500px
8hrs 53min 19s
14,249,568 microtriangles
Detail: 0.75
AA8
RTO, RTA
GI 2/2, SuperSample Prepass
postwork done in LW3D with the virtual darkroom plugin.
I guess I'd run away if I would encounter something like that :) Cool image!
Great render quality, these modulated clouds at this size and density aren't that easy to render well. RTA did a good job here.
Lovely effect, very creepy.
that last iteration was done yesterday, and i have another one that i rendered overnight, ill be posting soon as adjust the exposure some in the exr format with photoshop ;)
mainly just more cloud tweaking, looks a little more alive, more ghostly. ;)
ghostly non corporeal apparitions approaching
exposure tweaked in photoshop CS5
6hrs 13mins 44s
7,792,600 triangles
C&C welcome.
Very nice clouds/light effects. 8)
Looks kinda like a portal. Nice :)
All of these are very cool. Look like something out of X-Files.

I would like the details for the mist in the last image. Pretty darn cool effect!

i started working on it at least a year ago, getting the effect was somewhat random, basically i just stumbled across it while i was tweaking, its gone through several iterations since the start.
Beautiful and mysterious.
a tangent in the series.
was messing around with sun elevation, and came out with this.
