Just playing around in the Terrain Editor and found this spot...added a Broken Tower harvested from some game and shared online somewhere years ago..seemed to fit in. The tree is from XFROG
Very nice one, right from the start. Water is cool, far mountains are great.
Great image, Bobby! The terrain and the shaders are really nice. But the trees are orange, which looks a bit strange imho. I know, colors... ;)

Agree! Would be fun to see a version with a more purple or something in the grassy-area. To compliment the cool trees:)

Hehe, yeah a strange fantasy world. I think adding more fantasy coloring to the surroundings would "de-strange" and balance it.

Odd that, they came that way, no tweaks there, hmm is my 'puter colour blind as well LOL

Thanks Ulco...are the trees orange for you as well...? Weird comment from Hannes as I just loaded and popped em, no tweaks at all.
Just checked with Colour Spy and the trees are green on my computer monitor.

You had me at "fantasy terrain"...
What I like is that singular outcrop on the closest mountain.
Heh - I thought you wanted the orange trees, being this a fantasy scene and all. Fits in with the concept, you know. But wow, if they are green on your monitor...

well that's what colour spy says...I'm as you may know am colour blind...are they orange for everyone?
Yes they are orange/red here too
here's a screen crop...still orange?test colour.jpgtest colour.jpg
Yes, still orange. As you see here the RGB value has a high 184 red value

Very nice scene.
Nice scene Bobby and beautiful water and mountains... but in fact here with orange trees too... :-\
Idea... Just add a shop from "orange county choppers" and everything makes sense... if anyone asks - they repainted the trees for a show ;)

ha ha ha, maybe...my computer doesn't like the net it seems....
Anyone know how this happened as you can see with the Colour Spy tests I did it's most surely Green?

I'd say no! ;D ;D ;D Actually it's completely orange.

the trees Hannes, or the colour spy screen grabs?
From what info in the Color Spy tool are you concluding that it is green? If you have a learned understanding of the HSL/HSV values and how they correspond to named colors, I guess you could draw a conclusion that's not explicitly presented in the UI. Although the low Hue value does also show that it is red because the spectrum traditionally begins and ends with red. But otherwise I don't see any info suggesting it's a specific color, do you?

The thing is they're image mapped leaves and look green in Colour Spy and in Photoshop when I open the render in that and use it's colour picker...not a mystery the, colourblind ie: me, can solve I'm afraid.
I'm confused 😄 Again: what *specifically* is it that makes you call it "green"?? Color Spy does not seem to show anything that says "green". Photoshop also doesn't label colors in that way. Are you looking at RGB or HSV/HSL values and concluding a named color based on your knowledge of those values as associated with colors you've seen before? Or am I missing something else?

Specifically, to my eyes it looks green not orange or any shade of red. When a normal stops by I'll have them look at it on my computer and see what colour they see heh heh
Ah, thanks for the clarification.

Well this is a fairly extensive re-work. Traded out that other tree for the free Umberella Magnolia from XFROG and added 2 Dune grass pops. Turned off Ambient Occlusion in SD as it was killing the tower's texture...maybe contributing to the odd colour aberration?
Changed the clouds as they were too milquetoast for a fantasy scene of this nature. All pops are colour varied and look good to me but my colour problem is sometime problematic.
When I was a married leather artist my wife (R I P) selected all my dyes and labeled them in English; and I always had her check on a test piece before I proceeded. Still miss her.
I might do a closer shot of the tower as well...it has interesting stuff goin' on.
C&C is cool
Much, much better :)
Oh yeah! Has this water area a softish simple shape base? If so, you could breakup the edges a bit to give the cliffs a more eroded look.
What I find impressive here is that the water looks very realistic. Seriously...
Bloom (is that what it's called?) is a nice addition too. Maybe a tad less of it though.

Unfortunately the water is the lake object just dropped in. I tend to do that to isolate an area of interest to render. Were it not for my ADD attitude I might re try it but am off on another tangent...soon as I get back from my music session today. If I do get back to it...I could maybe add some displacements at the water's edge with a Painted shader as a mask to do that breakup. Thanks for the input Ulco.

Thanks, well pleased with the water, rare that I am but this worked out well. Yeah that's Bloom, and actually it's just dialed back from the initial render as it was part of what I saw off in the first try.
