So I set all of my setting really high and made a comp size two or 3 time higher than film quality. I wanted to see for myself if I thought it was worth it in the final render... Nope.
But this is about what you think.
Oh, yeah. It took a few hundred hours to render.
I understand your being tired of watching the render. I usually minimize the render window for my long renders...
The terrain is good. It's the clouds that are not quite right. I keep my clouds quite simple. Try using localized clouds with varied heights. You can get a similar effect without such high quality settings.
:o
Yeah the terrain does look interesting thought I do have to agree on the clouds not looking right for the scene. Perhaps you're looking for clouds like these from my renders?
Blackheart,
I like your images! Yeah I had done something similar, but when I couldn't get exactly what I wanted I just stared adding clouds. But Im sure Ill get what I want sooner or later.
