This is my first post, so be gentle ;)
I am absolutely overwhelmed by TG's abilities, it's powerful, flexible and fast... I have been trying to setup alpine mountains for ages in that other program but never succeeded. I then had a go with TG and had some very nice results on the second day already, amazing!

I like it. Especially the second one. That's a keeper :)
Did you add a lens flare?
not bad, not bad at all! :)
im not sure which one i like best, so ill just say i like each render equally
are you using any tree populations in this? i cant tell.
No need to be gentle Pokoy your renders look good :)
I like 2 and 3. The clouds look nice on 2.
Would look better in a bigger render i think.
Thanks! Obviously, I need to learn a lot. But I've noticed that the forum is a good place to get help :)
Yes, there's a lens flare in the second one, and I used Photoshop on all of them for colors and levels.
I am rendering high res versions atm, will post when they're finished.
Very nice!
I love it because it's simple, and perfectly executed. Just a simple sky, with a simple relief, some simple textures, a nice composition, and perfect settings. Your pictures are clean and refreshing. I love also the serial aspect (several iterations of the same composition). Are you going to do others ?
Nicely done!
Well done, especially 2 and 3! Have you thought of how these might look in a wide-screen format? I think a panorama type image of these mountains would look great.
Thanks for the positive comments!
In fact, I'm rendering many different images with different camera settings and positions, sun positions etc. It's just mind blowing how fast it is. My initial intention was to render panoramic HDR environments for airplane renderings, but it looks like TG is perfectly able to deliver awesome backgrounds as well.
As for the wide-screen format, that's actually a very good idea, I agree. Would be nice though to have some kind of a panoramic/spherical camera built in (I know this is on the wish list of many users already) to avoid wide fov stretching, the camera already has a focal width of 24mm so it might look distorted in the end. Then again, rotating the camera and rendering separate images and stitching them is doable, it would just save some extra steps.
Great work. For me also the renders 2 and 3 are awesome. Great work with sunlight!
These are great. Especially the 3rd one. Very impressive :)

The last one is superb. Test in panoramic format.
Sorry for my bad english.
Thanks!
I spotted some strange things in the mountains in the last shot so I'll redo this one, but a panoramic high res view is definitely on the list. Thanks for the suggestions.
no. 2 qnd 3 for me...great work pokoy, welcome!
:)
I think they all look very convincing. Maybe a notch down on the cloud noise in the second one. That said, I'd pass them all as photo real.
2&3 for me too.
It's a great first post, especially the third image. That is a beautiful render. The colouring and lighting on the mountains shows up their forms perfectly. Clouds are just right. This is the best image I ever saw in a first post.

Absolutely agree!
Looking forward to your next work :)

To me the 3rd one is not only the best first post I've ever seen in this forum, it's the best alpine image I've seen here at all.
I think it's so good, that I'm tempted to ask you, if you're sure that this is a TG image? ;) ;) ;)

Yep it would make a nice print on my wall in my TG-office, which would require a high-res render ;)

+1 agree with Hetzen in all points!
Amazing work for a TG2 newcomer! Congrats!

Thanks for the encouraging comments!
The plan is to revisit the scene and render some highres versions when time allows. I'll let you know.
Right now the terrain is fine from certain angles and in a certain light only, I'll have to work on it a bit more so it looks good in highres as well.
