Something different......................
Very nice! The leaf covered ground looks great.
Really like the ground. Somehow the flower seems out of place, not sure why?
Actually that was what I was going for.....................just about everything is dead, except the flower. :) Glad you liked the ground.
No, not that it was alive......just the size or something....not sure.
Bigger or smaller...........I am assuming smaller. :D
I would try smaller.....at least not so tall.
Comparing the flower size to the dead leaves size, I think the size of the crocus is OK. What you need here is some dramatic lighting with some fog. You might try an almost overhead sun ...maybe 75 to 80 degrees. Then, add a second sun with very low strength 180 degrees opposite the main sun with a low elevation ...maybe about 10 degrees. Play with the fog density.
I would leave out the trunk. And why not experiment with wet leaves.... add tiny droplets onto their surface (PF, world based) with a strong reflection.
Made some changes.......................
I would use some minor displacement on that trunk because the texture maps looks flat and painted on.
This is much better. Agree the bark of the tree needs some bump.
Great, like that fog in this one also...
yeah, that's the ticket...
:)
Made some more changes............
Looks much better. One other thing I noticed; the exposed root on the left side looks like a hip, upper leg, knee and lower leg partially in the ground ...odd; like seeing figures in the clouds.
I was going to ask you to share what drugs you were taking......................but I see it too. ???
Maybe Walli is putting subliminal geometry is his plants............... :)

Yeah, I see it too.
I wonder how much effort it would take to deliberately place subliminal elements in a render? :)
Now you're really getting somewhere; huge improvement!
this is looking very nice! Beeing that close to the ground, I would try to scatter some leaves with real geomtry - that would add a lot of volume.
Love these images and mostly the most recent ones as the tree looks better and the forest floor is absolutely perfect !
Superb Work !
