Title: Autumnal Equinox
Post by: choronr on August 17, 2010, 01:46:22 AM
Only a little more than a month away (September 23rd) and Autumn will be here. Goodbye to a rather hot summer.

The image depicts a typical high desert area where you get a little bit of the colder weather; some deciduous trees and traces of snow in the winter. Such places are Payson, Prescott and Show Low which are refuges from the summer heat and are only a few hours from Phoenix.

The plant models featured are:

•   Two populations of grass clumps by 'Walli' (one re-colored as dry grass) - and, are available at NWDA.
•   One population of vinca (periwinkle) available at the Ashundar site.
•   One population of grass by 'klas' available at the Planetside Forum  site.
•   One population of Dry Shrubs (#3) by 'Walli' (re-colored to a lighter shade) - and, available at NWDA.
•   Four individual 'The Noble One'  trees by 'Walli' placed at different locations and rotated differently.  Two of the four use a yellow leaf cluster which was made by 'Dotthy'. This tree is available at the Planetside Forum site.
•   The cirrocumulus clouds (used in part)  are of a development by 'dandelO' and are available at the Planetside Forum site.

I get into the habit of using the same old; same old stuff; and, need to get out of the rut. Hopefully, my next images will take a turn for the better.

This is very realistic. I like the variation in plants.

Very good Bob. I wouldn't be too worried about re-using terrains and plants and clouds, because that way you build a degree of expertise which is evident in your work.

I think you may do some of the best desert scapes I have seen. This is one of your best.
