Tumladen - WIP

[Dune]

Awesome, and quoting from an ancient ad: 'Just the right combination of kiwi and the apple I suppose'. Great work and very pleasant to look at!

Shucks everybody

Wow, I missed this. Gorgeous populations. Pretty much perfect.

Nice work. I have been thinking about doing an image of Narogothond. But it's been years since I read any Tolkien... It might be a good project for you if you like.

New one! The populatons are just about finalized (except for the midground bushes; I don't like those at the moment) so now I need to work on spicing up the sky a tad.

It's been a while since I've used Terragen, but this makes me
wanna fire it up again

Really..... it's a gorgeous picture.

Absolutely stunning, almost like paradise. Set me up a little cottage there, please.
There's one thing that bothers me; the (almost artificial looking) hooked snow line upper left. Hard to get rid of maybe? And wouldn't there be a little more herbs, low shrub and flowers in the grass? Natural grass is often more 'disturbed'. Although it would lessen the parklike, Tumladen atmosphere. Just a thought, mind you.

It is getting better and better ... though I was not thinking, that the first one could have been improved very much ...

Good, good, good!

[Gannaingh]

Thank you everybody! This project, while not all that technically challenging, has been a lot of fun to work on. The only challenge left is to create a system of clouds that complement the mountains instead of overpowering them. I think I may have it figured out but will have to wait for some crop renders to get done before I make the final render. Thanks for all your comments!

[Gannaingh]

This is the final render for this one, at least until my new computer shows up I've worked on the mountains some, creating a thicker feel to the snow, as well as adding some flowers and bushes in the near foreground. It's been a fun project and I hope you enjoy the results

FANTASTIC!

Did you use Dandel0's procedural grass, or grass objects + population variation?

[sjefen]

One of the best Terragen 2 images I've seen for a while.

You must render this out in a bigger size when you get your new computer.

Thanks guys! The grass in the very near foreground is a single population but doesn't have any population variation, I just got lucky with the shadows from the trees casting some nice shadows. I didn't use Dandel0's procedural grass, but I did use his fake stone forest in the far background In the mid-ground the grass is a simple surface layer with a trio of power fractal child layers to provide color variation. This layer has intersect underlying enabled which really helps to smooth out the underlying terrain. ON top of this is another surface layer with a color adjust node as the child layer to add even more color variation to the mix.
