Title: Yellow River
Post by: sjefen on November 09, 2007, 08:46:02 AM
This is my entry for the Terranut's contest, but can't post it cause the server is too busy all the time.

The bridge was a pain in the ass to place. I'll guess you can understand that. I used 256 for the atmosphere samples which was no fun at all. I have never used more then 64 samples as I can remember, but then again I usually don't make scenes like this. The most annoying part is that there is still some grain in the distant mountains.
Don't know what else to tell. I just hope you like it.

Special thanks to:
Tim - For the bridge model (downloaded from Terranuts)
Whoever uploaded the Yosemite terrain on Ashundar

I really like it...this is very nice work....

as per the grain...I think it is the clouds...the clouds are coming onto the ground...try increasing cloud samples

and you dont need 256 for atmo...128 should be more than enough in this case....

keep up the good work...

Thank you dhavalmistry.

I don't think it's the clouds. I thought about that and made sure the clouds are all above the terrain.

than the only thing could be the sun leaking through terrain...

Grain might just be because of low light conditions  ???

I think so too, but it's not fun if these type of scenes should need 250 samples for the atmosphere.

I'm sure it will be fixed sometime soon, they want it to be good enough for movies and stuff I think.
