Another WIP... i really need help in texturing the stones! ??? :-\
Vegetation created with Arbaro and imported as .obj files in tg2.
C&C welcome and appreciated!
The final version will be rendered bigger ;D
The stones aren't bad. Check out the Rock Files in the File Library. The trees could use a little more translucency in the leaves and the clouds need another swipe at fluffy. There are a lot of files you could use to learn about clouds or even just add as a clip file, while you learn. These and the stone files are in the File Library.
Very good scene so far ... I like the lighting and the natural shades.
It looks like you use an image shader for the stones ... a good idea - make the image tiles smaller, though. You should combine it with a normal powerfractal (set to a coverage of ~0.6 and a breakup of ~0.4-0.7 as start values)
Go ahead
Second try... Quite changed!
Completly revisited clouds, disposition and shading of the trees, fake stones and atmo.
I also tried to make the grass more realistic.
I am not satisfied of the lowest-level clouds, I am going to play with them during the weekend.
And I also want to work on the surface layer under the grass.
What do you think? ::)
Oh... everything is procedural exept of the texture of the bark.
Trees are better.
The clouds look a bit like mountains now, which isn't a bad thing...
Different mood this time... and clouds tweaked. ;)
Still a WIP thought.
I really like how the low color of the clouds blends into the horizon!
In overall a very nice image. The shapes of the clouds look good already, but still could use some work. You might take a look at some of Frank's clouds to get an idea.
Martin
good job !
very good improvements
Working on shape and density...
I like the lighting and the vegetation very much. The cumulus clouds are great too, but imho the cirrus clouds look like old vue clouds ;)
I like everything except the foreground tree. too many straight edged polygons for me.
You detail level may me set too low for a close shot, or the model may not hold up to close shots.

This is the last version and it is the one I call "Final" :D
I need to move along to another project ;D though I've learnt a lot ( ??? ) working on this!
Hope you like it!
Gio.
P.S. Glow done in GIMP together woth some minor postwork.
Very good image. Turned out well. The detail in everything looks good now.
Iain
cool one !
Very good. Believable and magnificent in stature.
Beautiful. How many cloud layers is that? Love those cumulus cloud shapes at the right. Rockin' grass, too :)
great how you evolved it from its first incarnation! Well done.
Frank

There are 3 cloud layers: one for cirrus, another for the big cumulous and the last used to create the mist.
Oh, and thank you everyone for the comments and the suggestions! :)
