Title: The beach
Post by: Hannes on April 04, 2011, 06:13:52 PM
Hi you all again!! I had to take a big break, but recently started to play around with TG again. I think I have to learn a lot new things now!!!
Anyway, I was trying to create some antarctica-like landscapes with icebergs and ice shelves and stuff. I played around with Geo control, imported the terrain and suddenly realized that this looks like a beach.
So the sun melted the ice and trees started to grow and here is another jungle again (I think I like jungles!). Hope you like it!

Nice! IMO I think the bushes shouldn't extend quite so close to the water...but that's probably just me wanting more room to spread out in the sand ;D

No comment at all, Hannes. I really like this. Perhaps some human activity in the form of a sail boat, perhaps... or some gulls flying across the water line.... or even a pterodactyl.

Very nice. You definitely need something in there, else from the point of view of photography it's an odd choice of composition imo.
It's certainly purdy.

Wow, really nice image. I seriously don't get how you always get such realistic pictures.

Hannes welcome back  :)

I really like this render !
The only part that i would like to change is the ground part that shows (the beach is fine) .

Thank you all. It's good to be back. I'll try out some of your suggestions.

Welcome back! Very nice image. I personally would like to see more blue in the water though. The green may be realistic for some areas, but blue is more appealing in my opinion (more tropical and it goes with the palm trees in my mind). :)

glad to have you back.
i think looks fantastic, i like the feel of the piece, but i do think the bushes i to close to the shore, which isn't realistic imo.

That is a great ship model. 8)
I like the first one, but the second is better. It would be cool for a Windows backdrop if it was rendered a bit larger. (I suddenly feel like Kadri!)
It is great to see you posting here again. Great inspiration!

Nice! I want to live there....I don't know if I can say much more than that :)

I think it has great potential, but the ship is far too big! Make it 1/4 or 1/3 the size at least and it would much better fit the scene. The object is very nice. Try exact measurements in relation to your cabins/houses. You could use the measurements tool, or a sphere of a certain radius. Looking forward to the next iteration!

Thanks for your suggestions, Dune, but I rendered it before with a smaller sized ship and it looked ridiculous. Unfortunately the resolution of the image isn't big enough to see that the "houses" are in fact dinghies! ;D

Ah, that's why I thought the ship was far too big. Looking at it again, I see it might be around right, compared to the palm trees. I guess these ships were maybe 80-100m long?

Excellent!

This is really great, whats your render settings? It looks very clean and realistic. Also, are those bushes just Grass clumps? or are they actually bushes?

Thank you! I sometimes decrease the amount of haze and at the same time also the saturation of the bluesky density colour. This makes the image a little bit clearer. It depends on the size of the scene and the lighting.

The bushes are grassclumps, but not the ones that ship with TG, but ones that a former member of this community named Lightning shared with us. I still like to use them although they are not available anymore, but there are lots of other very good grass objects in the files section.
