Title: Far Distant Shore
Post by: Ogre on May 21, 2007, 10:30:02 AM
After my last render I was told to stay off the drugs.  So here is what I get when I do that......

Great image!  I love the colors!  The monitor I'm on is rather dark, so I can't see the foreground very well, but the composition is very nice.

Nice lighting on the water and nice ship placement.  Sky is beautiful.

Thanks for the comments.  I am trying to get back into being more active on the forums if the job lets me. I have a few more renders in the works.  I have been watching the images being posted and I am trying to get motivated by the great works I am seeing.

I like it. Reminds me of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion :)

Nice work, but lighting on this one seems a bit strange, causing the rocks to look too uniform and flat.  The distant foliage looks a bit too grainy and synthetic, likely due to the lighting as well.  I'd look into adding some translucency to the leaves, petals, and stems for all the foliage.  Get that and the lighting dialed in, and the image would shine.

Anyway, I can see the makings of a great TG2 pro coming up!

Nice work, but I'd disregard the advice re: the drugs.

;D

Thanks. Is there a good thread regarding translucency?  I cannot seem to find one and the things I have tried in this area haven't worked.

I made some adjustments based on the comments I received.
