Old Tibetan House re do

[bobbystahr]

Hadn't played with this since before I could really populate much so I gussied it up with veg...C&C welcome

I do like the composition.
But It doesn't look like Tibet.
It is more like european mountains (or canadian ;-) )
Tibet is very high and there is almost no vegs.
No wood to burn dead bodies. Usually they broke bones, put the deads on a stone and
let the vultures coming.

kaedorg is right, that's not looking like Tibet, but I like the house and the little lake in the foreground very much.
Imho the snowy mountain in the background could have some more colour variation.

It depends on where in Tibet. The higher elevations are more near Nepal just below Tibet well into the Himalayas. Tibet is a rather large area with varying environments. It could pass with some minor adjustments here and there.

Looks good.
I would just try to add a little more (not much) variation to the ground plants distribution.

Like the reflections...the red lanterns are a plus.   More work on the snow perhaps.

Thanks all, expected some 'non Tibetan veg' but the reference shots I found were similar to Chris' reference photos. I remarked in my head how like the Canadian Rockies it seemed. That being said the original title was "Winding it down in Shangrila" as it looks like Shangrila after the commies seized Tibet and visitors stopped discovering it, broken roof and walls as shown heh heh heh. At 12 hours RT I doubt I'll come back to this on my current computer as it was just a doodle really...playing with moss on fake stones and water plants in general. The lanterns on the model were problematic as I originally had lights in each and it was an evening scene but no way I could get them to render properly. One lantern had incorrectable faces/normal problems and always rendered 3-4 times as bright as the other 5 but they look all right with no lights inside. If I could fix that I'd perhaps do the evening scene but as it stands I'm calling this a fun doodle and thanks for all the comments folks...off to something else....maybe the Assiniboine River showing the ox bows...inspired by Danny's latest image which bears a striking resemblance to that terrain.

Tibet no doubt has a vast array of land forms and climates. It is a fascinating place. Some southern-end areas do have that Rocky Mountain look while others mountainous regions are more canyonized, steeper cliffs and taller peaks. My Donggi Conag render is somewhere in Tibet, China.

I looked up the Assiniboine River.

nice one...that's mainly Manitoba Maple and some unkillable willow that loves riverbanks...some aspen and birch mixed in.
we used to have tamarack till the Hudson Bay Company harvested it all for ship building in the waaaaay back time.
looked up  Donggi Conag but the image is missing from the post?

I need to take a look those types of trees as it's always fascinating to browse and appreciate the differences. It is on page two.

All in all a very beautiful image.

What if you just change the foreground to move the complete scene somewhere else? Perhaps you can find a kind of lumberjack house and unfotunately the nice lotus would have to go. But you could keep the rest of the charming ambience.
