Hello,
this is my first image rendered with the deep version and also the first image posted here. I hope you like it. :)

Nice!, I like your clouds, they look extremely well done, I also like your water..Have you added any nodes to it? as it seems to be a slightly diffrent colour...
Yes, I added a Lambert shader with a dark blue-green color to the water.
Yeah, It works really well, Again..Nice Picture :D
That's excellent!! All it needs is sonshine777's canoe.
:D
This is very good. You might want to give AA some high setting for the populations and maybe one more surface shader for breaking up the floor (only a slight colour change withing luminosity and/or saturation)
This reminds me of photos I've seen. Good job. As I look at the water, I'm encouraged by the fact we will someday have transparent water, which would make this shot supreme.
I agree with Volker, you want at least AA of 5 when you render vegetation.
Your clouds are very good.
Thanks for you comments :)
I've rendered the image at 2400x1500 and the rendertime was 24 hours. I used AA=3.
When I use AA=5 or higher the rendertimes will be a lot longer... and that's not really good ;) But I will try it the next time with a cropped preview rendering.

Simple composition and effective. Good work.
Very nice clouds. The flatten base option really works on this.

I used "wispy base" for the cumulus clouds ;D

LOL! Well the tops of those clouds are very impressive, so I figured that's what you used. Either way, very nice.
So this is your first image? I'm impressed, very, very well done! I like your clouds, they turned out quite well and the greenish tint of the water is well done as well.
how do I get atmosphere like that??....nice scene overall.....agree with increasing AA

No, it's not my first image. It is my first image here at Planetside. I created ~3-5 other images with TG2 before.

I only "pimped" some settings ;) I can upload my cloud settings, if you like.
sure that would be great.....also atmosphere settings wont hurt!
Still for only having 3-5 images under your belt this is quite good. You obviously have some skill with this.

Ok, you find the whole atmosphere as clip file in the attachment. But please don't use it copied and pasted in your scenes :)

A few TG2 pics, but a lot of 0.9er pics - I think about 200 or more ;D the settings in TG2 are not completly new to me :)

ofcourse not......just to check the settings and learn :)
and thanx for the clip file...
I disagree with the increase of rendertime when using finer AA to some degree.
Make a testrender at 480x300 with low and with high AA. It is less difference than you might assume. But the effect is dreamy ,-) Setting the Quality to 0.5 should render your original settings in less than 20 minutes.
it may not matter at such a small resolution but I think the render times would increase as you go BIG (1920 x 1200)
Thanks for the TGC.
It is about 1.3 times longer when going from AA4 to AA7 - but when decreasing detail blending to 50% you have your time back ,-)

Tell me how to get there and I'm on my way! ;)
This is a wonderful image by the way,
