Thought I'd try something different after all my misty attempts - I have based this on Kelston Tump between Bristol and Bath....a secret place best visited in the late afternoon. First attempt at trying to create a fence post in Xfrog and then using a population with strict height limits to get a sense of a fence around the tump...70% satisfied :)
...and a second image created later in the day...
I like the subject. The detail (2nd render) is really quite nice.
2nd render for me too
Terragen 2 - it's not just for terrains anymore... but you've shown very well how grouping of objects is possible with this magnificent program!
Thanks all - I will try to do a re-render of the first image but with stronger lighting - also want to play around with the purple flowers to get some more variety :) Any other suggestions welcome.
They're nice and subtle renders. I often put too much in one render, so for a change, this is very calming.
i agree with the above from Ulco.
i like the feel of these renders, nice pleasant atmosphere.
good work. :)
Final render - more light and more variety in the field...
This is a nice image but I think what would really bring it to life is some light shining through the leaves. It all looks a bit flat to me and when I think of English woodland like that I always think of light filtering through it. You should be able to change the translucency in the shader for the leaf. The Xfrog plants I have don't seem to have it set up by default which is a bit of a shame.

Thanks Jo - I will have a go :) Jonathan.
being a Bristolian, I know 'tump' well...great idea and execution...look forward to the next one!
cheers

Thanks Inkydigit - and to Jo for telling me to make the leaces more translucent - didn't even know it was possible....but it makes a huge difference. The final rendered is here.. http://jj100all4u.deviantart.com/art/Kelston-Tump-264216766 (http://jj100all4u.deviantart.com/art/Kelston-Tump-264216766)
That is a huge difference. Great!
Looks much better now :)
phenomenal difference for the good...happy you found translucence
A great improvement. Maybe a little bit too violet?
Very fantastic! I love it! I want too see a super Render of this if possible. maybe double HD res?
