Softy Mood

[domdib]

In terms of the colours, perhaps the finest TG2 render I've ever seen. Just beautiful!

[Onyx]

Great render... or postwork (if there is more as vignette e.g for color correction...)

My personal feeling is that postwork (excepted contrast, sharpness) should be always mentioned

yes there is postwork for the vignette ^^

there is a bit of postwork (contraste and curves).
no colours were changed during the process, nor the exposure.
I am not a TG2 integrist, so when I can add something to the render, I try to do some postwork ^^
And be sure that almost all final renders get some postworks... not all but I might say a lot of them. I mean... if you see the name of the artist, the name of the render of anything written on the render, that means there was postwork hu ?
You might ask RArcher, FrankB or others if they do some pw
don't ask T-U though, he is an integrist ;p

Oh ! and I should add that I am not a postwork specialist, I don't understand Photoshop as I understand Terragen
I hope you don't think that the postwork is the quality of that render, because that would means that you over estimate my skills in postwork ^^

NB : I won't mentioned every step I took to do a render. I post my renders in here to get some feedbacks and sometimes advices from people. If someone asks me something, I try to answer honestly. I don't look for "artistic" judgement but for more technical part of comments. Don't get me wrong, I love, as everybody, when people says they like my work ^^ but that is not the point.
So, in the future, if you look at one of my render (www.7thcircle.fr), I usually do just curves editing if necessary and sometimes i add a bit of vignette.
thanks for you comment Onyx !

Great mood and very realistic. 5 points!

Awesome moody work Franck
The dense atmosphere is fantastic!

Ghehe, so I'm an integrist Well honestly I mostly also do some postwork, but it's often very minimal indeed. Many renders are virtually straight of the render, except for minor curves/contrast adjustments.

Cheers,

Damn !!!
so you're not an integrist !!! you do as much postwork as we do !

[Tangled-Universe]

No, less

[Oshyan]

Interesting that you've shown this T-U. I see that the white blown out part of the clouds comes partly from contrast/levels adjustment! In an effort to achieve higher contrast (I assume), you've killed some detail. That's a no-no.

Ghehe, the effect is notice-able but minimal I used pickers to determine accurately the brightest and darkest parts.
The gain was more clarity and contrast in the image with a bit less definition in the brightest cloud.
If you'd like I can send you the .exr

[Seth]

I do prefer the postworked one !
higher contrast is definitely my fav' here... colder look me think.

[Tangled-Universe]

Indeed

[Planetscape]

Ooooh, you really nailed the mood here!

One little nitpick from me; the clouds are a bit
high and look an aweful lot like Terragen 0.9.43  

Other than that, great job!

[Onyx]

Thanks for your honesty,

I am not against postworked pictures.. even if I would say I am on TG2 "integrist team" ;-)

I only think that it is better to mention postwork when it becomes a key factor of the picture quality.

I understand ^^

[MacGyver]

Honestly, I can't find a part of that image that couldn't be a photo. And I tried, I tried hard. This really is outstanding. Only thing that prevented me from that 20-seconds-to-wallpaper-technique was the resolution, I have full 1080 pixels to fill here
