Title: High Meadow
Post by: otakar on April 24, 2014, 02:16:59 AM
I've been working on this for about a month. The original thought was to concentrate on the rocks (fake stones) after seeing some great stuff (stones) posted here. It kind of took off from there. I used lots of plants from the TG3 pack and other creations from Walli. I really love the tansy pack, I should have used them much more in previous renders. The eagle is from Terrade.

Minor adjustments in PS. Took only about 90 minutes to render, which I think is great with all these plants...

Hope it's somewhat pleasing, I don't know anymore after tweaking this thing for so long :)

Looking great! Love the veggies and the rock looks great too...
But after the rock the pix left a bit plain... ???

Very good. I can appreciate the time you've spent on this scene ...it shows. Excellent placement and choices of the vegetation.

Yeah, the rock is great. But the clouds are even better.

Thank you for the comments! I realize the barren look of the landscape in the background, it may be attributable in part to scale. The dark dots you see are actual bushes, there are hundreds of thousands. I did not place trees in the distance, but if I did they would be hardly discernible as separate objects.

The clouds did take a while to set up, I have come to realize that if you bring clouds into the picture it's often a complex setup - multiple layers - to appear interesting and realistic.
