A WIP - Sky and Clouds came out exactly as I had hoped, but the terrain detail is a bit "Jaggy" and "Stepped" when zomming at 400%.
Suggestions?
Thefull size image is 8,000 x 4000.
839.5hrs
Yes, I know it's taken a long time, but this is going on Canvas once detail has increased.
No suggestions. Beautiful.
You have surpassed my 700+. Congratulations. LOL
Thank you for your kind words. I did however, learn some very Valuable lessons creating this.
1) Get a Battery/Surge Protector incase you have a severe storm (ie: 860 hrs before this was completed,) that causes the lights to blink. Mine now has a 1-hr supply.
2) Turn OFF Auto-Update and Install of patches. (ie: abt Feb 1st.)
3) Disconnect the computer from the internet so that Windows does not attempt to Download and install Security Patches and a "RESTART" is automatically done. (ie: Feb 1st)
Lessons learned the HARD WAY >:( :'(
Sounds like some good lessons. I almost quit on mine about halfway through. But...why? ;D
Definitely would be awesome to see this on canvas, I never really thought of doing that before. Usually I just get mine printed out on large sheets of paper. If you are looking for some pointers/critiques though, heres some things that I thought of:
1) The mountain tops seem a little too smooth to be realistic. Mountains are normally much more jagged and rough.
2) The lighting on the cumulus clouds is beautiful... but the clouds themselves are perhaps a bit too soft looking.
3) The snow line is a bit too straight and obvious, try lowering the coverage a little, increasing the min altitude fuzzy zone, and setting some slope constraints as well (about 50 degrees or so)
Again... just some thoughts. It really is a beautiful render :)
Thanks for the Critique - that's why I rely on others to see what I sometimes miss. ;D
