Title: Hazy Cliffs
Post by: RArcher on October 16, 2008, 10:34:31 AM
Yet another cliffside image.  Normally I keep the haze value at around 1.5 - 2.  For this image I increased it to 10, then doubled the camera exposure.  Once rendered a couple of extra soft light layers in photoshop gave it this nice soft glowing look.  Bushes and Grass were from Lightning.  Total render time was 11 hours at 0.85 detail, 16AA, 3/3 GI with supersample checked.

I agree with inky, but really want to see the stone surface.

Another great image. You seem to really have nailed how to make great rock structures.
Also, the vegetation looks very good here.

WOOAAH!! :o This is an incredible effect. It took me ages to realise it was a render.

Fantastic, but I'd like to see it without the glow.

Sure Hannes - Here you go.  Only postwork done has been to do a levels adjustment.

Did I comment on this one... Dang you spit out so many awesome renders....
You know what my hope for this one would be... Is that eventually TG... would be able to have that trickle of water run off on the left. Can you 90deg. the left side of the scene an do those crazy water things, and then flip it right in PS and combine the two?
Well you said you were going to do something crazy. ;)

RArcher, your work is usually so great.  I love the lighting and the realism of this one.  You obviously have a creative mind.

Blow through, dude.  See what none of us (even you) thought you could do.  <--  Challenge.

Great image. I like the non-glow version better. Extremely realistic, great vegetation!
