Field

Cocateho · September 25, 2015, 08:12:30 AM

So I tweaked a bit too hard... screwed a few things up... I need to go back and figured out what the #$!! I did to the mountains. And somehow the leafy plant in front now has extremely dark shadows on it :/ and not sure what went wrong there either... buuuuut at least the treeline looks good?

might go back and put one or two red trees in there as well.

I think the flowering grass part on the front could need some color variety. If you use a distance shader it's easy to replace distant mountains by whatever you want (like a alpine fractal) without altering the front area. But the treeline looks good to me.

Ended up having to redo a lot of things, including the treeline

but the mountains I think I like better now, I'll have to smooth out the snow a bit but otherwise I think it looks better. C&C welcome.

Very nice!

With the smoothing of the snow I think you're right.
In my eyes the snow could be a bit brighter and a bit more coverage breakup on the middle mountain?

I agree, I like the mountains better once you rescued them...When I have mishaps like that I usually can't get it back...well saving more often seems to help which I do every so often now and not just a rendertime.

I think I'm almost ready for a final... and actually I have two I'd like to do, one with the original POV and another portrait shot of the needle-like mountain.

The cloud/fog on the mountain on the left ic a very good idea.
Coverage of the snow is much better.

Different perspective

That last one is super! I really like the mountain as well. Great work.

Final

If you don't mind I take the "Alpine fields.jpg" in portrait format as final - it's my favorite

Different but great perspective. I like this a lot.

I agree with Nils. In the last version the grass versus treeline is very straight and hard. Which may be the idea, but therefore I like the cropped version better. Nevertheless, a great render.

Agree. just would like the two or so trees in the front to be moved a bit.

Haha so I guess it's unanimous, the portrait shot is better

I must admit I like it better myself, the limiting factor, to me anyway is the scope of the shot. I like wide angle, panoramic shots that show more of the environment... Just more stuff to look at. But the portrait I think is a bit more pleasant to look at and has better composition. I may do a higher quality render render of that one eventually.
