This looks great Marc. I have been busy working on some stuff for Ulco. I have always like the leaves which hang on on you winter trees. It's a nice touch.

Perfect lighting!  Awesome!  The detail is fantastic (I'm running our of my usual adjectives!)  A little more AA and a little less contrast and I'd be saying "Please post this in the photo section!"

@ Everyone,

Thanks a ton you Terrageneers. I appreciate all you encouragement.

When you find a well developed software that is intelligently designed, well thought out and performs the way it should, it's a pleasure to work with. Also, fun. I've used all the high end stuff since 1993 and Terragen well, I can't wait to tear into it.

All you Planetside forum members are a great group of people and has made the experience, for me, a pleasure.  

Thank you for everything.

Marc

Incredible lighting - very realistic.  I literally got goosebumps as I studied this scene - give yourself a pat on the back :)

Excellent render (should be used for promotional purposes); love the tangle of bare branches. The lighting is very effectively applied, and the tree bark is so realistic. Bravo.

Very nice, but I do have a crit, if you don't mind. I would stretch the bark structure (in XFrog) on the ehh.... what are they called again (sudden blackout).. the black and white trees. And one other thing: the ground looks like snow, but then again, not really. If you work some subtle perlin and glitter in, it would be a perfect image.

@Dune,

All great suggestions.

I will be working on and off on this scene and will incorporate these.

Thank you,

Marc

@Dune,

Thanks for the links.

Looks like you did a ton of experimenting with the snow glitter. When I find some time I'll give it a try and hopefully it will improve my rendering.

Thanks again.

Marc
