I've been very bus these last days (as you can tell by my 3 new renders)...
I know that some of you think we don't create anything but only discover what's inside TG2 (not pointing anyone of course !), so here is what i discover ;)
thank you Walli :)

Hi
Again great Realism!
Wonderful Light in the trees.
ciao
Naoo
Oooh! Lovely discovery. And my question on the previous thread applies again - the DOF is great!
Splendid work which can easily be mistaken for a photo. One of the most realistic TG2 renders Franck :)
I'm always in awe by your atmospheric work, works very well here.
Also, you always manage to get the right density for populations, which I still find hard sometimes.
However, I have one minor slight crits
You might consider increasing the diffuse color value for the barktexture of the pines. The texture is a tad dark, can't explain here right now ;)
Cheers on this marvelous work,
Martin
Another great "discovery", much better (imho) than your other post, "Walli's Place"
I love the sense of depth, not entirely due to DOF but more to do with skilful lighting :)
Richard
ps: I like the dark tree texture as it is :)

i will try that ! i thought the very dark texture was pretty okay with the sun almost right in front of the camera though :)
I'm pretty sure that in real life and photography you would see the bark quite clear with these conditions, that's why I thought to drop that suggestion.
This is really good.. This is what i'm looking forward to learn :)
Forgot the formula FrankB used. Sorry.
I really liked this one also. All these images are photo quality renders. I am amazed!
Nice one Franck! I really like the short pines, where can I fine them? About the taller pine trunks Martins suggestion is a good one but I don't think with them being so narrow that you will get much bark detail to show up, especially with the sun position as you said. Now if they were large Oaks with broad trunks that would be another matter. Looks acceptable to me. :)

what do you mean ? I don't understand.
@Buzzzzz :
I think they are not available yet. I'll send him a message to correct me if I'm wrong about that !

OK, Thanks
I just sent him an email.
I think Walli's not here for some days (if I remember correctly) but as soon as I have news, I'l tell you.
Oh, and maybe Frank or Martin have a better memory than I do :D

WOW! :o Great work Seth! Seems like a photo to me.
I really like how the mist behaving to the sun light is just splashing all around the flora. The better AA and DOF is very photographic.
FrankB posted somewhere a formula as a joke. FrankB> himself and Franck>Seth. Or something like this. It struck me as fun. I'm still learning peoples names here. I recognize handles, but the real names are coming slowly.

That's why I find it convenient to drop my name as much as possible below every post I make here.
I also find it useful if others do that.
I really only see my alias as an alias and not as an alias to hide my personal life, so I like to be addressed by my first name rather than just TU or the like.
Not that I really mind, just preference :)
Martin
very nice lighting, very nice mood, very nice render!
hehehe nice place to walk around ;)
Who needs a camera when you can do this! I can almost smell the fresh air ...bravo Franck.
Lovely (a word I usually avoid to use ;) ) But it is lovely!
Wow Franck...outstanding!
Cheers,
Martin
This is awesome Franck... reminds me of my Grassy Hill render...... only better!
If I belonged to one of the cheesy Flickr Groups, I'd plant a huge banner. "This image deserves a Totally Awesome Award!"
But since I hat those banner thingys , well done once again.
Hi Franck,
If you increase the exposure in TG, not just in the EXR manipulation, the AA bloom should work better at smoothing the edges against the bright background. If you only increase the exposure afterwards, TG doesn't know that your pixels are really bright and might not apply the AA bloom where it needs it.
(TG has to be selective about where the AA bloom is applied, otherwise all of the pixels would be too soft.)
Matt
great advice ! thanks, i am going to try that !!!
Both images are incredible Franck. They have your signature atmospheric touch for sure.
We got those nice little white flowers called mouse ear out and available at NWDA. Check them out here: http://www.nwdanet.com/buy-packs/details/42/mouse-ear-chickweed
Cheers,
Frank
