hope you like it ^^
thanks for viewing it full size
vegetation is free xfrog :D
(http://smileys.sur-la-toile.com/repository/Surpris/surpris-yeux-crie.gif)Houla c'est tout bon ça ! J'aime beaucoup ! L'eau est superbe, t'es devenu le spécialiste des vues aériennes plongeantes !
Je vais retrourner bosser !
Absolutely amazing, the water, atmosphere, lighting etc etc etc is GREAT
My only complaint is that the trees at the near bottom right look a bit weird growing out of solid rock.
I'd love to know how you colored the water so vividly!
The same for me, how did you get the water so green? :)
Wow ! Superb and amazing work.
Thierry
ps; je vais finir par regarder TG2 de près !
Really cool water man :o lighting is realy sweet aswell (very vivid) I like it!
Some of the best foliage I've seen in a while in TG2.
What AA settings did you use?
Also, if these are the free trees, did you use the default settings for translucency, or did you tweak your own surface shaders for them?
Nice work 8)
Thanks guys !
for the water, i changed the water "Volume 1 colour" to green and put the density tab to 0.15 and i changed the decay teint to a pale green too. but you must think that the atmosphere colours has a great impact on the water (by changing the sky colour)
the AA is 15. And i did tweak the transluency of the trees (as far as i can remember, the default was set to 0)
this is awesome!
yow! 15 AA!
but I don't think I would want to go swimming/fall into that water though.
Really great image. Great atmosphere and shadows. AA 15! It reminds me of an article on the radio a few months back, where a spokesperson for a large chain of supermarkets in the UK was commenting on the difficulty of keeping tinned peas green without the use of atrificial colourings. I thing you have a solution there. ;D
Have you thought about some ground cover around those trees? Like leaf mulch, smaller bushes or a few grasses. It's the only thing stopping me believe this is a photograph.
yes i thought about adding some groundcover...
but i hit the render button with only 4 population just before leaving home for the week end ;D
I may come back on this one sooner or later. thanks for the advice !
c'est magnifique!....really nice scene...more please!!!
Your lighting is superb as always! I also love the color of the tree leaves, it looks real...although I think an increase of specularity wouldn't hurt. Great image!!!
Got some work to go to beat that, as a newb to TG2 this blows my mind, like so many here.
Lovely colours and bloom lighting - great job!
Strange and lovely water ;D
I also like your light!
Very good, Seth. This is why you're not allowed to enter the NWDA contest - so someone else can win it. ;D

more please!!!
just another view of the (almost) same place
Epic sense of scale! I also really like the color of the water.
mon dieu!.....it is real, love the scale/ and the rock details....bravo!
I see your water has gone back to blue with the change in the sky colour, would be funny if you'd left it green. All the interest is now in the shadows, and by that I mean the eye has a field day looking into those clean dark places. Love it.
How did you manage to get the 3D Max teapot into the side of your cliff face? ;D
Wow - this is better again - massive sense of scale here!
I'll need to progress a lot before arriving to this level of knowledge :P
Very nice! Love the lone little tree at the very top. Glad you didn't clone it out ;D
Looks like a teapot up there. ;)
nice "teapot" isn'it ?!
i was very happy of this rock's shape ;D
Great work! Love the scale and the terrain. Great color too.
Aaah, that's the solution! The black tea changed the water color! :P
Respect, looks like a completely different image to me. Shows what's possible with your terrain :)
I think I'm going to need a bigger cup... :D :D :D :D
Perhaps we can meet with dandelO at Campbellton Loch and have a nice cup of tea and a shot of whiskey ;)
hehehe :D

Ha, tearrific!

Very,
very nice, Seth! Both of them.
Imagine a base-jump off of even the
lowest peak, just above the water portion. Phew. It seems terrifying. Imagine then, going-for-it from the teapot!
I'd hope to land in the teapend and not the shallowend! :D :D :D
i need to be honest about this "teapot" thing guys...
it's... a rendering bug that i've notice during some previews caused by the sun orientation... so i tried to use it as a detail of this render

last one...
just to show a different view... not as good as the other ones but i spent 10 minutes (maybe less) on it.
random seed button is my friend ;)
nice place for some skinny dippin'!!
Top stuff Seth... The scale of the first couple of images are awesome, the last one looks nice and tranquil. Quick dip anyone... apart from Inkydigit, who will apparently be naked. ;D
Oh please don't underestimate your image! It's really good! I like the right part especially, due to the overhang :) Really good stuff :-*
Ah, I noticed some banding in the sky, is this also in the original image?
nope... bad jpeg artefacts :(
wow, amazing lighting and terrain in all three images!
Your water is stunning here
Honestly not so stunning, as all guys tell, but still some good pictures..

thanks :)
maybe you could give some advices to improve my renders... the groundcover was an improvement needed for the first one but maybe you can help me to find more things to do on the 3 images ^^
I can't really give technical advices bcause I have only used Terragen for few weeks and because I am not the creator of your pictures, so I don't know what you would like to show. I only gave you a personal feeling ..
but maybe you can point something that looks wrong in them ;)
light ? pov ? surfaces ? atmosphere ? colours ? terrain ?
I understand that you took my comments on opinions I did on another thread for yourself, but my question is "what do you think need to be improved", not "what do you don't like in the renders" ^^
so, even if you are not able to give technical advice, you are able to point at the problem you see in these images :)
and be sure that i will appreciate it very much... i always say that critical comments are the only ones that make you improve your skill ! (even if , like everybody on earth i love good all nice comments too)

My sentiments exactly. There's nothing worse than being told something doesn't look good without expressing what's wrong or what doesn't quite work. Better to give an idea of what you would like to see improving, whilst still appreciating the effort put in.
I agree with you Hetzen ^^
it seems you won't enlight me with your knowledge pointing the flaws of my renders allowing me to improve them.... too bad, SpaceMaker...
anyway... you shouldn't take things personally, it makes you write useless comments :p
Stunning! As all guys tell.
I know what it takes to do this stuff correctly and this is a well controlled Terragen work, Seth.
Not a useless comment from Spacemaker, just an inexperienced TG one, maybe? Maybe not.
I think this is good, regardless, especially numbers 1 and 2. :)
thanks dandelO ;D
what i find useless, it's to tell that there is something wrong without tellin what is wrong...
constructive critics are priceless but non-constructive critics are useless ! ^^
I like the third image as well. It has a Japanese print feel to it.
O_O
... Darn ... Not much to say, I'm stunned..
Wrote to you at DA, Seth, to say I'd bring this up here...
I see something strange in version 1, in the upper-left shadowed area.
It appears to be missing some terrain.
There's a bright area that looks to be lit by pure GI, either that or, it is the waterplane beneath(but I'm also quite sure that you wouldn't have made the lake so big as to be rendered this far beneath the terrain.) . Did the ground fail to render correctly? This must be what the 'teapot' error is aswell.
Looking to the top of this area and there seems also to be a plane added and rendered that isn't part of the terrain, seems higher than the main terrain. Was this to try and cover up the hole in the ground?
I never noticed until I looked at it at DA to add it to my favourites. I don't think anyone else has asked about it.
I don't think it is missing terrain because the vegetation is properely placed on the ground... but there IS something wrong in this part of the render with this "white" part... GI was uncheck btw... and maybe you are right, it's like the teapot error :)
there is no plane added to this scene, the top of this area that seems to not render correctly has a big overhang :)
in fact there are overhangs everywhere on this part of the terrain and the difficult part of this work was to find a pov where i am almost getting rid of them.
TG2 still has some problem with strange displacements :D
thank you dandelO for coming in ^^
