Title: Thermas Appolidonius - Egypt
Post by: Marcos Silveira on April 08, 2012, 03:58:32 PM
Appolidonius / Red Sea / Egypt
Frequented since the ptolomies, its warm waters are connected to the Red Sea by a little channel.

I have to thank wetbanana for his awesome voronoi clip file which was used in the terrain!!!!

Nice render!

The contrast is a little low and the image looks a little too bright to me Ro-nin.

Yeah, the water and underwater rocks look really good, I also agree with Kadri. But I think this is a very good start, keep working on it!

I think it's a very "natural" look, while most photography is fairly post processed to be more contrasty ("punchy" they call it). I think just reducing the noise (increasing detail/quality settings) would give you a nice finished result, maybe not "striking", but pleasantly natural to my eye.

No! I still think that it needs a little adjustment. But it is his image of course  :)

Rant goes here :)

I tend to don't make any adjustment out of TG. When I don't like the final look of an image I tweek the settings a little and render again!! The image was rendered with just 0.6 in render quality. I'l try to render it at 1.0 to see what happens. ;D
Also the sun was put at 45 degrees, what makes the overall a little too bright but it seems more natural to me (brazilian eyes here 8)).
