A peaceful valley (final)

[Antoine]

As I had done a quick and simple image in Terragen that has served as a background image in a Modo landscaping scene, I have decided to improve it and here is the final result.
I hope it's not too dark.

Update : I have added some rocks for greater realism.

Update 2 : I have lowered the shader 's clouds contrast and brightened somewhat the overall atmosphere.

Very nice relief. A bit dark but it gives a mood.
Some more details on surface especially on foreground could make a fantatic scene.
And clouds are a bit of cotton in my opinion.
But the scene is really nice. Good job here

Good looking terrain and I like how you've populated the trees. I like the cracks but at the bottom center of the image they look a bit too long (big) and linear.

Cheers

Tnks for your comments.

I have posted an update. I hope it looks better.

I raised the overall brightness of the final render (third image). I hope it looks better now.

I thought it looked nice from start.

But I better buy myself a new monitor because I don't see any difference :-)

What I thought looked unnatural was the crack from, I guess, a voronoi fractal. See attached image.

Thank you Oysterman. Yes I knew what problem you were talking about but I didn't think it was so important. I will see what I can do.
As for the brighness, in fact I only raised the sun up just 3 or 4 degrees but it gives more clarity on terrain, this is what I was looking for.

[Oysterman]

3-4 degrees? Good to hear because then l can keep my monitor.

No, the big crack isn't that important for the overall image.

Hi

Very good sense of scale and trees distribution

Great stuff, very nice composition and details.

[Antoine]

Thank you !

I have added a last updated image correcting the bottom cracks problem.

[Oysterman]

Hey Antoine,

To me the cracks looks much better in image 4.

Good work.

Cheers
