Title: Canyon Water
Post by: nvseal on April 12, 2008, 02:51:04 PM
Lame title, yes I know. Everything was made inside TG2. The canyon was made using procedural methods from the tutorial at this site (http://en.tgblog.de/). Of course, I did some more things to bring this image together. It is really more of a test of the final result than a serious image. No postwork (except for my name  ;)).

Yeah the overhang in the middle left is great. The technique on TGBlog is really good. nice work NV the water's fantastic and it'll look amazing with a little transparency when it's available.

Looking good.  8)

What is the line about half way up the water; are you using a fill light and is this a shadow?

I noticed that but I'm not sure what it is. The only light is the sun and I don't think its a shadow. It may be some kind of artifact.  ???

You could try changing the seed to see if it disappears, might just be a freak chance of the light catching the small waves. I wouldn't say to randomize the seed number but just increase or decrease it by 20 or so.

Excellent deformations of the stones and terrain.  Great water.  Love the colors.

Seeing that canyons are flavour of the month I thought I'd have a go at one.  :D  It's a long way from a finished but here is a test and what do you know?  A mystery line in the water.  ??? :(

There is nothing carnivorous lurking under these waters, is there?
Anyway, beautiful image!!!!
