It's been awhile since I've posted anything, or really worked on much lately but got the bug to do some more terragen-ing again.
This is meant to be somewhere in the Pacific northwest, the cascades, maybe British Columbia? Take your pick :P
C&C welcome, I'm not sure I'm finished with this scene yet.
You have the rigidness of many of the peaks in those mountains down well and the density of the trees. There can be more smaller details adjusted, maybe other vegetation species thrown in, color variation and might be good to increase the ground GI. It seems a bit to dark down there.
It's a very good start, indeed. I would probably move the camera so that you have a clump of trees or rocks right in the foreground, for more depth. Say the promontery on the left. And maybe a little ground fog or low cloud whisps would do nicely. An area where a storm has swept down a bunch of trees would be cool.
Very nice start!
A few clouds and some forest glades and I am happy :)
Indeed it is a great start!!
Pretty cool. Good going.
Here's an update. Changed the camera angle,optimized a few things but it's still taking a long time to render at the quality I want.
The snow is a bit strange, but I like this POV. You probably used a max slope and smoothing, or displacing up, by the looks of it. Perhaps you can try a displacement intersection?
Why would it be slow? The snow area perhaps...
I really like this...have seen similar in my Rocky Mountain get-aways..well done...agree on the snow...do y have a reflective shader on it?
