Herkimer

[Henry Blewer]

Ok, it's not quite like Herkimer County NY. It's a nice render, if I do say so myself. I may do another render of this tgd sometime. The clouds need to be re-worked.
I used Marc and Walli's plants. Their objects really help my renders look better than they are without them.

This one must really suck.

[Walli]

for sure not ;-)

I think the lighting feels a bit cold and harsh. Probably would help to slightly brighten up the dark areas. Could be done in post, if you have saved as exr.

best,

I did save this in EXR. Blender is the only program I have which will handle EXR. It's not easy to work with Blender's post composite nodes, but I have used worse...

I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the input Walli. I was beginning to think I had ticked off people again.

there´s a cheap Phtoshop clone out there, I think its from canada. Was it Artizan? It handles floating point.

[Henry Blewer]

Will GIMP handle EXR? I need to install it....

[Walli]

no, not really. Gimp started to go into the floating point direction and some under the hood work is done in floating point (or was it just 16bit?) - but in general its still just a 8bit app. And thats the main reason for me not to use Gimp, otherwise I would heavily use it.

I have Corel Paint X2. I also saved this as a bitmap and tiff. I'll play with it tomorrow.
