Western.............. kinda

[yossam]

This started as a file that bobbystahr posted on Renderosity in the Terragen free stuff...........of course I had to change things around.

[Icegrip]

Havent seen the origina,l but this looks great! Finished with it or more things to change?

[yossam]

This is a render of the file as supplied by bobbystahr.

[inkydigit]

very nice!
the only things that I might change, would be by adding more vegetation variation, and dropping the haze density... then maybe a pov closer to the ground.. on a hilltop ?

[yossam]

Not much left of the original file, except the terrain.

Yossam i liked the first image with the possible alternatives.
I made one just for fun to see how other aspects would look.
This was one i made with your image.

Nice to see that your last one looks kinda similar . But the ground , stones etc are much better in your last one.
Not sure but i would maybe just make that cart(?) a little bigger(closer) and just a little to the left.

But anyway your image does have a kinda painting look that i like

[inkydigit]

The latest render looks excellent!

@Kadri
What are the atmo settings for the image you posted? I am interested in the haze relative to the sun position relative to POV.

[Kadri]

Unfortunately it is only postwork Michael.
I played with the first image Yossam posted.

Oh ok, thanks!
yossam, can you answer the question please. I want to know how you got that haze with the sun behind the camera. I have some problems getting that haze line in my images and I want to know why. In my maze world image I really wanted that effect, but no matter what I did (short of changing everything) I could not get the darn thing to work.

[yossam]

It is something I learned from cyphyr. It is a localized, "empty" cloud layer. By empty, I mean it has no fractal attached to it. When you use it, it acts like haze depending on the density of the layer. You will also need to play with the edge sharpness, depending on how "hard" you want the cloud layer to be.

If you can't figure it out and I will post a .tgd for you.

ARRRRRRG! ARE YOU KIDDING ME! 

I really thought that people were doing this in the atmo settings! So I tried and tried and I got it to work very nicely, but only if the sun was behind the camera. Of course it makes sense now that you say it, that its a localized cloud. So you dont have to post a file. But, Oh man!

Ok, so just one thing... I am guessing you made the radius a size just big enough to get the effect from frame left to frame right. Or did you make the cloud much much bigger and just push it really far to the background?

lol! Thanks yossam.

[yossam]

Just make it the size for the effect that you want.
