Title: Mt Hood - Final
Post by: Gannaingh on November 11, 2011, 11:27:27 AM
Hi there friends. I've been working on this for the past week now and decided that I just need to share it. It's based off of a photograph which is probably why I'm not satisfied with the realism of my version. I'm fiddling with most everything besides the terrain and camera POV but any suggestions for literally anything would be much appreciated.

I have a suggestion for you. How about animating it?  ;)
Really.... the vegetations are excellent. The atmosphere also. God job. +1 from me  :)

Terje

Very beautiful light and vegetation. I am not certain for the pov and  Panaroma format. Maybee test a other format.
Sorry for my bad english.

Cool, I always like the huge amount of trees you can cram into your scenes. :)

Thanks for the comments! Sadly, I can't animate this one since I don't have the animation module. However, that does not prevent me from trying different aspect rations and that like. Thus here is a tall skinny one that I really like for the sense of depth that it has.

Cool experiments with aspect ratio. I think I like the tall one more, which is unexpected for me. It's rather dark though, at least over on my monitor. Maybe realistically so with the mountain and sky exposed that way...

The forest is a bit dark here as well but that is OK, it is different.

I really like this,darthvader1! I love the serenity and 'simplicity' of the scene. Very artistic and painterly.

A really nice image. Great feeling of depth and scale with the tall version.

Hey Darth,

Your render looks really crisp and the trees look photo real even if under exposed. What settings do you go with for your atmo, and haze settings? The image looks like a photo. Im not talking about rocks and trees so much as I am the air between the camera and the horizon.
I have asked questions like this before but haven't got a great answer yet, probably to many variables. Still if you can be specific it may help.

Thanks guys! The trees are underexposed because the camera is very low to the horizon with really one a slight ambient occlusion enviro light filling in the shadows and a bumped up camera exposure.

@TheBadger: Sorry for not answering before.The atmosphere settings aren't tweaked too much from default. I've only slightly increased the haze glow amount and haze glow power while reducing the color saturation of the bluesky horizon color and bluesky density color. The atmosphere has 32 samples and I'm rendering at detail:.9 AA 8 ray trace objects/atmo: on GI:2/2. The render settings are probably overkill, but they guarantee a crisp, clean atmosphere. I hope that helps, if not just shoot me a PM.

Here's the final version. It's pretty much the same as the previous one, just with more light getting into the darker areas of the image.

That's a pretty awesome image!
Funny in a way that one of the things I like most is the clouds :)

I really like this. I'm a space art and sci-fi fanatic...and a UFO or comet in the atmo would have been nice... :)
Still, very nice work!
