Title: Half Dome V1
Post by: Harvey Birdman on May 17, 2007, 06:58:12 AM
Yeah, yeah, so my renderings suck.  :D  Maybe this will inspire one of you to do something better with the Yosemite terrain ( http://www.ashundar.com/page.php?id=320 (http://www.ashundar.com/page.php?id=320) ). Any takers?

;D

I'm working on the Donahue Pass shot from the photo link posted by Sethren.

It may be awhile though, I have a couple of other projects in the oven. :)

Hey your renders do get better as you keep going. :)

Thank you - I am trying.   :)

Valley floor needs a few items - more trees, the Merced river... the roads... the Awahnee ... 20,000 tourists with their dogs, kids, cars, campfires, tents, RVs...  the little strip mall...

I did get a bit of the smog, though.

;D

Some of those things could be left out i.e.. people, tents and RV's. ;)

I think I'm going to model one of those nice ergonomically designed concrete picnic tables and rustic, natural-looking metal cylinder fire pits/grills (would you ever eat anything that actually touched one of those things?) that are at all the campsites, then try a shot looking up at El Cap with a campsite in the foreground.

And maybe throw in tourists, dogs, kids, cars, RVs, the little strip mall...

;D

Yup!     ::)


Your trees look to scale which is nice. Just add a few hundred more.      ;D
I have more photos showing that there are small dark dullish green shrubs along much if the slopes rising up near the top elevations from the valley floor but i wish i knew what type of shrubs these are.

Manzanita, probably.
