Hi

Ahhh. Clouds better

But the tree was better before. Now he is out of the 1/3 (choronr said).
SORRY! I meant only a few pixels...
I made a quick overpainting for You (hope this is okay/allowed).
I moved the tree only to the wave on the ground and rotated him a little bit to the right.

ciao

Really cool to see the tree in such an environment!
The original placement was better imo.
As for the clouds i'd try to let them fade into the haze towards the horizon,
but that's just a personal preference.
Keep going,J.

And I would keep it this way, as it's more a large oppressing cloud as it is now. And I like the distant sky in this hue.

i have been messing with the cloud color setting/lighting, at some point i'll post a few of them.
tried to match up the dead tree to its new location as best i could at this time. its harder looking through those smaller quick renders.

i've found copying coordinates from the 3d preview is a good alternative to the place/rest individual objects on the ground feature request ppl bring up sometimes.
not sure if anyone else was doing that, cause i haven't heard anybody bring it up before.

This one is the best. Colors. lighting - the entire composition is pleasing.

bleak...excellent!!

not sure about the tree model, perhaps the texture or colouring? looks plastic, something for children to climb in and out at the local beer garden, other than that looking good.

i kinda had the same feeling about it Redwolf, the thing about that model is it is'nt mapped/textured like the other trees we have.

heres a alternate version with one of the new fir trees - with less needles

comments & suggestions welcome.

Hi,

the last one looks much more real.
The strange big tree looks more sureal (nice too),
maybe this old tree needs some displacement for the bark.

The old tree in question is meant to be barkless and polished by weather.

The look of the texture can be changed in TG2 to a certain extent,although
i got to admit that it doesn't lend itself well to putting on a PF for color.

I think it needs a deadish tree from a composition point of view, unless you are going with a complete contrast like say one of those japanese blossom things - I suspect not. The other one looked too fat or overscaled or something.

masonspappy · February 21, 2011, 07:08:12 PM

Wow, that could easily pass for a photo

airflamesred · February 21, 2011, 07:37:23 PM

zaai99 - I just uploaded a tree which may suit at ashundar

Zairyn Arsyn · February 26, 2011, 08:52:41 PM

had some texturing issues with the dead tree from ashundar
i'm using Marc's summer aspen for the tree now, their is currently no displacement on the tree but i'll fix that soon.

C&C welcome.
