Title: Wild Flower Meadow
Post by: RArcher on November 20, 2008, 12:10:30 AM
Another meadow render using Floraworks plants.  Combined mixture of Caucasian Fir, Douglas Fir, American Larch, Tulips, and Grasses.  This one took around 14 hours to render at 0.85 detail, 12 AA.

first post! I love the colors, they remind me of a photo taken back in the day. My only critiques would be that the flowers look too tall compared to the grass and their distribution is too regular and could use some more clumping. Other than that, great work ;D

I recommend to keep tweaking this some more. The overall impression is very nice, but
1 - you seem to have turned of rotation of population instances for the grass. Looks like the field has been combed.
2 - I'd work on the cloud shapes some more, and maybe on they fractal distribution.
3 - the colors could be a little more "dynamic", but that may have been your intention.

other than that, lovely scene!

Cheers,
Frank

The lighting is incredible.  What did you do in the Environment settings, lighting and GI?

I like the dreamy look of this. I also like the foreground because it isn't totally natural but a bit surreal.
