Title: Sunset Over Water
Post by: RArcher on July 07, 2008, 08:52:26 PM
Finally scraped together enough cash for a new system and needed a big new background picture, so I went with the often done and often overdone sunset image.  ;D


1920 x 1200
Detail: 0.85
AA: 8
GI: 3/3
Supersample prepass on

Took just over 14 hours to finish on a Core2Quad 9450 at stock clock speed.

Very nice colors ;).  I would love to get my hands on the clip file of the clouds you used.

Really a great scene. This shows perfectly the great colors and possibilities in Terragen's atmospheric model.

The only thing I would do would be to add a little waves to the water, but that's really not a big issue. Great image.

I second this :)

The colors and clouds are great indeed. Cool warp shaded shapes, at least I think that's how you did it. FrankB posted a clipfile once showing how to do this. And how did you do the sun? Probably just under the horizon with thick hazes?
I like the glow of it very much!

Maybe the picture could also use a little bit higher exposure, but I'm sitting at work using a different screen so I might be mistaken.

Beautiful.  A tad grainy on the left.

Keep working on those clouds on the other site.  Over time, we'll come up with some great ones.
