I really like this POV bobby. Nice. The trees on the right side have some funny green color. Kind of bright for me. Perhaps a little tweaking?
Very cool perspective indeed, reminds me of alien landscapes you'd see in movies.

Well you do recall I'm colourblind in the green/brown areas so I can't see it. Feel free to tweak in your graphics app...

I thought that as well but have no alien foliage...this is the trade-off.

Would it be helpful to have a tool that remaps green to blue on your screen so that you can see gradations of red through green clearly, and compare your renders with photographs? Are there any programs on Windows or Mac that do this? Maybe you could setup a Photoshop filter and drop all your renders and reference photos into it.
Nice render, Bobby. Lighting is very good, there's a mood of expectancy. It also has something of an ancient runway, now grown over. Perhaps an abandoned spaceship/giant aircraft, rusted and grown over (ivy generator) would be nice to add halfway. And/or some abandoned building at the sides. Like Nils did with his 'hobbit ship'.
I would (also) ad a good number of internal grass (colored by the ground) to the front area (fading out to fake grasses), so the valley has this soft grassy look.

I'd not considered that. most of my art life I've had a colour checker/wife to catch stuff like that so it only started being a problem as a single man and shows up mainly in my Terragen work based on comments I've received since TG arrived. Most times my 2D work doesn't involve gradiated colour or blends as it's often gross ad copy so it never came up.
I like this dreamy and mysterious look.
Could be in the same game or in the same book as this one from luvs:

I don't mind the leafy green color on the cliff rockface as much I would decrease the population a little to have the beautiful rockface frame the forefront pine. That is one cool cliff bobbystahr. :)

thanks luvs, twas an accidental product of the Fractal Warp shader, untweaked except for the texture.

I like the abandoned runway concept...will try some of the suggestions...you were referring to the TG grass patch right?
Yep.

What about the calcium deposits? ;)
You got something good going on here, Bobby. I am trying to understand the texture at "ground" level - rather grainy or noisy. Maybe add some dirt or sand patches?
Yes, from the small preview it looks like grass, but up close it's too obviously fake grass, hence my suggestion. You can of course have some worn and overgrown tarmac/concrete lanes here and there, or gravel patches.... lots of exiting possibilities.
Great work, Bobby. Reminds me of Norway's fords.

Well it seems that the last iteration is all I can get out of this old DELL computer, continuing CTD events even when just messing with the textures...gonna have to wait till I get enough cash to get the workstation repaired....sigh.

SSshader?? Like in Sub Surface Shader???
Anyway. I agree about the perspective.
Very dramatic.

No a Simple Shape shader
I still read "SSS" as sub-surface scattering, as anyone in CG should :)
