Started this almost a year ago, finally rendered it with high detail. Anyone kind enough to render this at a bigger resolution?
7hr 10 mins render time at 0.9 quality, AA 3

Very nice! My computer is booked right now, but I really love the lighting you've achieved here.
Hey thats a lovely image, can I make one comment about the lighting tho?
Im guessing its early morning light, and you have the pinks and purples SPOT ON, but the brightness is a bit strong, the mountain kinda pops out at me from the sky. Early morning light even on a brisk winters day is still quite soft.
i have no idea how to tweak it in Terragen, and its lovely as it is, but softer light would bring a more realistic feel to it. Or maybe the blue sky is a bit blue
heres an example of what I mean

Thanks for the feedback, i do tend to go overboard with brighten and contrast in photoshop. Heres the original, It maybe more to peoples taste

Very good work. Like an older color photo.
Most excellent render, very realistic. I much prefer the lighting on the second one, a lot more natural.

I have a Dual 3GHZ Xeon 3GB RAM PC thats going to be on but not doing anything this weekend. If you want to send me your files I'll more than happily render it at full quality as large as I can get it. If you want me to PM me and I'll let you know where to send the bits ;D

*EDIT*
Doh, didn't notice the little envelope under my avatar.... a direct link to my email address ;D If I had half a brain....
Thumbs up, especially at the very good trees :)
Mr-miley, did you get my email?
Rouge
Yep, got the email .... eventually, after finding it in my spam mail. Rendering as we speak ;D
Miles
looking forward to see this bigger...very nice work!
Its coming, its coming ;D I had to do some serious number crunching in work yesterday, so the render spent a fair bit of time paused. Its been going for 22 hours odd now, and is about 3/4 done. I'm rendering it at 1024 x 640, detail 1, AA3

Lightning is perfect.
I could help you render it at 3k x 2k for example but my PC i doing a render atm. It's been 100 hours now... 3600 x 2400 but this render time has to do something with populations (placement based on fractals). It shouldn't take so long on quad.

I'm rendering a scene without a name so far. A mountain range (this time without show) covered with lots of trees and with some naked rock spaces. There's also a nice crazy cumulus on top of this mountain range and a lake in the middle.
As usual - hard to describe without the picture ;-) Well... I hope to see it in next 40 or 50 hours...
I'll make a thread for this image... if there won't be a power failure or something.
Big Version, thanks Mr-Miley!

Few little touchups in PS as per usual
My pleasure ;D
Do you know what really makes this version for me? Its the very tip of the tree in the centre bottom and the top of the tree far right, both of which are obviously in the foreground and are not "hazed" and are really dark. I think this makes it look a lot more natural somehow, but then, thats probably just me ;D
Miles
Yeah i really liked that too, i wish i could have got a few more tree tips in but it would have been a nightmare getting the positioning just right.
I like the bigger version. It still reminds me of an old color Kodachrome photo with white borders. If I didn't know it was TG2, this would be my first assumption.
