A nice terrain enhanced by files created by others.
Some elements included are:
• FrankB's 'Simple Camoflage Surface' added to my surfaces.
• dandelO's 'PGS Evolution' grass surface on distant mountains.
• dandelO's 'Altocumulus' clouds.
• Walli's 'Dry Shrubs' and XFrog cactii.
Enjoy,
Bob
Hey Bob,
This looks like a desert scene...ohh...it is and you live in a desert environment....so you have some personal inspiration....:)
Very close to photo - realism....a superb job. This is what you do best. Desert King.....nah, your still the Hoover man to me. :)
Wonderful work!
Mark
Hey thanks Mark. I use a 'Dyson' however.
is pretty, but prickly pears too flat, not seeing thorns, and maybe organ pipe is too defined at segments. re work models for more real look. Dyson vacuums good but fans are silly idea and overpriced. I use the vacuum too.
Love the scene Bob - As I live in Bristol I will have to try and model Cheddar Gorge :) P.S My parents had a 1964 Hoover - lasted for 15 years :)

Natasha, thank you for visiting. Prickly pear cactus are flat; and, their thorns are relatively small. Organ Pipes come in two varieties - one is segmented; the other is not. The models do not need reworking - come to the Arizona desert and see for yourself
But, Dyson does are far better job of cleaning than others - you want something good? - you pay the price.

Thank you for your visit. The desert out here is a delight to see.
Know nothing about Hoover. Markal (Mark Edwards) started a rumor years ago that I am a Hoover vacuum cleaner salesman (cause he says my pictures suck). Actually, I'm retired after 47 years in management as a procurement agent.
No Bob,
I called you the Hoover Man because your wonderful images made all of our pictures suck....don't you remember. It was many years ago.

Oh so long ago ...back then it was just you, me and dirt. Just kidding ...very nice of you to say.
Nice render , Bob :)
It is your scene but the only thing i would change is the "Prickly pear cactus" on the left near.
They look more real a little far away to me too. But then i have only seen them in photos ;)

Thank you Kadri, the PP cactus appears smooth until you get close and see the small clusters of needles (called aeroles) which produce new flowers; or new extensions of growth. They are relatively flat which gives them that 'bunny ears' look. We have many variety of these guys growing out here. Their fruit is edible are are quite prolific.
Thanks , Bob :)
good job again, Bob

good job again, Bob
Thank you Franck, I'm working on another version. May not be done for awhile.
I like the pov and the panoramic format of this one.
Did you try some DOF ?

No, I never have tried DOF. I'll look into that while making a new image.
ok

With all due respect, the 'Opuntia' Prickly Pear comes in many varieties. Some have long needles; some do not. If I wanted 'long needles', I would have selected another model. End of story.
ok
Your criticism here do not much count if you not show us your "original" art in your own thread Natasha !
Or everybody will think that you are a liar . I know you know this very much Natasha .
ok
Please keep the discussion civilized and refrain from insulting one another. Also, this is choronr's thread about his render.
Thanks,
Frank
ok

... and I am not natasha silly little boy
...
I and i think many here did think about this. But without proof nobody said anything.
I did write Oshyan about you much much sooner then you think!
The problem here is not that i or others are silly. The problem is that you think you are the best.
You have nothing to proof and only talk. If you were nice at this i had nothing to say ,but you are rude .
Anyway.
It is useless. You had a different intention here and was writing absolutely in the way you wanted.
I have no need to talk to you further!
ok
Hmmm it was the war here ???
Else nice desert picture with vegetation ! It is always a challenging type of picture. I think you have succeed.

I think we should all ignore childish posters who are insulting or just waste everybody's time and precious space on the forum, and just never answer to any of their posts/remarks. They'll get tired of it and vanish.
I hope he will stop being a child and being rude but we see. sometimes name calling make people feel bigger or better when they are not so big or good.
