Title: Canyon Pass
Post by: nvseal on April 10, 2008, 07:59:37 AM
Based on a ter of the Grand Canyon from Big ben, beyond that everything is procedural. Rendered in TG 2 with some contrast and saturation post work. The trees are Mr-Miley's and the bushes are moodflow's.

Very nice, especially for a head-on sun shot.  Those are the most difficult lighting to pull off well and  you've done a fine job.

Great work, I love the terrain, surfaces and distribution of trees !
I find that the trees from the base of the canyon seem not as good as those located on the top!
Do they have the same origin?

Really excellent canyon.  The only part that doesn't look great to me is the top right canyon wall, looks like it either needs some more small scale detail, or the lighting is making the detail that is there look a little bit flat.  Other than that, great job!

Thanks for all the comments.

@Phylloxera - No, the trees at the top are Mr-miley's while the plants at the bottom are bushes from moodflow.

@RArcher - I agree about the detail. I really should have tried to bring more out before doing the final. I'll do that if I re-render this one which is likely when we get transperency. Originally, I wanted to put a stream here but I decided to wait.

Edit: For fun, here is some lens flare.  :)

Very well done, I had to convince myself that surfaces on the rocks weren't image maps.

Very nice!  The only complaints I have are about the textures on some of the canyon walls - they look a little too bulgy and not detailed enough for me.

The path is remarkable- easily passes for reality. The lighting on the walls is less convincing somehow.

Nice one  8)

Just one tiny thing; It may be the height of the camera above the ground or the size of one of the objects but I am not completely comfortable with the scale, something just feels slightly off.   :-\
