OMG! Totally missed this thread!

Ulco, this is amazingly beautiful! Hands down the best and most complex TG2 scene I have seen since... Well maybe ever.

I am almost speechless after the last one!

  Thanks guys!

Actually love this on my desktop. I gave it a bit of a vintage look in post.

That postwork is totally awesome Frank!

[FrankB]

Thank you! Glad you like it. :-)

To be totally honest, I can't take a lot of credit for it. There is an awesome image manipulation program called Snapseed, which I have been using since a year now. It has some very sophisticated filters, and I am merely fine tuning and applying them.

And let's not forget that if it weren't for Ulco, there would be no image to throw effect filters on at all ;-)

I can totally recommend this program, it's also quite cheap. It runs on iOS (iphone/ipad) and Mac OS. I have no idea if it runs on Windows or other platforms - perhaps it does.

Very nice effect, Frank. Have to take a look at that little prog.

Wouah, on dirait un tableau de dessin.

One could use the vintage image on a postcard. Absolutely stunning!

A final one, with more restrained wet river edges, more trees in the distance and slightly more fill light. I changed the pops for the animation, so the trees are at different locations. No soft shadows this time, which from this POV doesn't make a huge difference.

Beautiful!

Hi Ulco, this is another beautiful render of that gorgeous scene.
Only one thing irritates me from this perspective: the bridge doesn't seem perpendicular to the stream, as it should be.

This post effect is very cool. I think some of the greens in the original are too bright. I had a TG2 image open in Gimp and accidentaly used a brush I had made to create dirty marks. It was strange how this effect just on one part of the picture made it look more like a photo.

I know, Frank. It can easily be adjusted, but in this case the river may have shifted over time

Hi Ulco,

Stewart from XFrog is interested in knowing which combination of plants you used here?

Since you're not on FB and others might be interested as well I thought I'd ask it in public rather than by PM. If you don't mind

Please let me know and I'll pass the message along

Cheers,
Martin
