Title: River sunset
Post by: alessandro on June 13, 2014, 07:45:03 PM
This started as an amazon sunset landscape, but at some point I realized I used the wrong trees, so it's just a river sunset (note the caiman resting on the tiny shore). Flare effect added in postwork.

Nice 'wrong' trees. Really fine atmospherics and a lovely evocative composition, fine work!

Agree with Zaxxon, really nice looking "wrong trees".

Good looking scenery and it would be interesting to see it in full daylight.

Cheers

I too like this render, the lighting is very nice. But I do have some criticism; you should do some more work on the barren grey shore on the right, IMHO. It's a bit nondescript... is it mud, or stone? Maybe some vegetation and fake stones or more color variation would increase the beauty of this image. I would also decrease the 'wildness' of the water to very subtle wavelets. And if you could do some vine-like stuff (hanging algae) on the fallen tree, that would really be awesome.

That's true Ulco, I could have done a better job on that shore on the right. I wanted to create (actually I also tested) a slightly reflective material to simulate mud, but got bored with wrong attempts and high render times. I'll try to revisit this image and see if I can improve it. Thanks for the comments.
