Title: Glacier Valley - Final
Post by: Gannaingh on October 12, 2012, 01:30:31 AM
I'm finally getting back into TG2 after a couple month break. As stated in the title, this one is of a valley carved out by an ice age sometime in the past. I'm going to work more on the rocks along the valley walls, and play with the aspect ratio some. Thanks for taking a look, it's good to be back doing this again.

Very nice work here. The terrain/valley works well as does the conifer population.

This is really good. I also like the terrain and surface work, and the distribution of the trees looks realistic to me.
If anything, you could consider making a river out of these individual puddles or little lakes.

Thank you everybody! I thought of making a river down the valley, but it would have to be unrealistically wide to be noticeable, so I'm just going with some glacial lakes. Hopefully you all enjoy this crop render, it's nice and big for ya. I'm going to do some more work with the shrubs and ferns, but besides that I'm just about ready to do a full sized render of the entire scene.

This is one of those images that keeps one looking and looking some more. A beautiful work of photo realism.

As promised, here is the big one. I'm really pleased with how it turned out, it might be one of my favorites even. I might render an even bigger version sometime, just to take advantage of all of the details in the scene. Thanks for taking a look!

Beautiful. The mountain side texture is perfect. I'd be tempted to paint out that bank in the middle of your valley. But the atmospherics and combination of those two tree models work really well.

Great!

I like the lakes over the river idea. Where I live almost all of the terrain is glacial drumlins. Of course we have rivers too. But I like the lakes at the base of the drumlins better, my self.
