Title: First in a while...
Post by: Cocateho on December 19, 2016, 12:19:03 PM
My first render in quite a while, I've had a pretty busy past few months with little time for TG. This is a WIP, thinking about scrapping the snow altogether and making it a more lush mountain-scape in the background, but maybe bring back the snow for a christmas themed version :P

Very nice!  ;)
You might want to decrease the overall haze?

At that resolution I bet this looks great on wide screen. ;D Good one!

Looks great! If you'd tilt down the camera a bit, it wouldn't look cut off at the bottom.

Yepp - that idea with the camera tilt would meke it even better.
But anyway very beautiful!

Indeed, my first thought as well, perhaps also a movie ratio, wider. I do like the snow, I guess it's WM + masks? The clouds are less interesting, I'd surely play with those. But a terrific start anyway.

Update, forested mountain, better clouds... the reason it is cut off at the bottom is solely for practical reasons to cut down on the render time as that is the slowest part of the image  ::), but for a final image I will lower it.

and Dune- no WM, just TG!

Excellent render, a little more water in the image would help IMHO

I like the mountain both ways but the clouds in the first have more potential.

I am sooo curious what is in the lower part of the not yet rendered image - surely a surprise! - ?  :)

I liked the snow version maybe a tad more, but both are nice. My only other concern is that it looks from the full-size image as if you are upsampling a lower resolution render to get this "high" resolution. The result is that it looks quite "soft", almost blurry. I would rather see the "true" size of the image if that is what is happening. As it is my monitor is not high enough resolution to display the full-size image 1:1 anyway, so if I zoom in I just see a blurry, partial image.

A striking image. Along with a few others I'd like to see the lower foreground. The pine ridges are nicely done.

Echo Oshyan, the snow was very balanced on those ridges somehow and gave the image a nice contrast. And indeed, a bit blurry, or was it the filter?

It is difficult to feel things with 3d. In your image I feel good feeling summer. I like to look at the details of the bank and the forest. Beautifull picture. By taste I would have eliminated part of the sky and made a slight tilt down. I prefer the last one.
