Title: Good morning, Hoodoos!
Post by: AndyWelder on April 19, 2016, 02:32:29 PM
Found out the terrain features depicted in many of my recent renders are called "Hoodoos": It's the official name geologists use for these features. That name made me smile so now I created a scene with a more "cheery" feel. Hope you like it. Credit to Ade Levi (Terrade) for his Willow herb and Ulco (Dune) for his Heather.

I love the texturing of the hoodoos.
A little bit of nitpicking: did you check "receive shadows from surfaces" in the mist layer? If not, I'd like to see how it looks.

Thank you, you two. About the nitpicking: You're absolutely right! Now that you mention it I don't understand why I missed that.  :-[ Will give it a rerun with "receive shadows from surfaces" enabled.

they almost have a personality! I sorta get that it would be easy for people to attach supernatural mythos to these kinds of places even in this day and age. Actually it is pretty understandable I think.

Really cool series, and nice work. I enjoyed the other images in the other threads too.

Here's the version with "receive shadows from surfaces" enabled. No spectacular change or a very prolonged render time either.
