Temperate Alpine River

[AP]

Somewhere along a calm rocky river.

Nice render. One thing I don't quite see is the stream bottom, I'd suggest you do something about that; either sandy, or larger rocks/pebbles. And did you add any reflective shader to the not-looking-wet, but darkened shoreline?

Very nice moss on the also nice rocks and a beautiful scene!

Would you mind trying some vegetation in the water? E.G. some groups of your Three Leaf Clover Patch could look nice or something like the Xfrog RS07_Caulerpa_sertularoides.

Speaking of moss; that will probably grow on the wet sides of the rocks, more than just on top.

I can make the existing pebbles more large and fill it in more over the sand. At current it is very small smooth pebbles and some sand along the bottom. It could look more obvious. The reflective shader is there but not cooperating too well. I need to look at it again.

I can arrange something.

Perhaps changing the reflection specular size settings more like they are in the water shader could do the trick (0.5/0.01 instead of the default 1/0.1). Or adding some tiny (sandlike) fake stone to displace the wet edge, so more chance of reflection is induced. Or add an additional light source just for some reflections, though kept in the area of the main sun.

Good point, I was confusing the moss with other rock types based on there locations.

Updated. Refer to the first post.

Very nice moss and wetness on the upper side but now I am missing something on the foreground rock.

If you perhaps have the dirt pack from NWDA you could play a bit with some old leafs or dead wood.
A suggestion but only my personal taste: I'd vary the stones in the water. Some big ones more small ones.

The rocks are really nice, but I still have a problem with the underwater rocks, like Nils has. They're too distracting. What if you leave them all out, except for one or a few larger ones, make it a sandy bottom.

I never envisioned a forest here so ground debris was never a passing thought. I might not want to over crowd the setting but perhaps there could be a compromise to that.

Varying the stone size is a great idea.

That can be arranged. I can just make this another type of river, one with less pebbles. Willing to experiment.

I will have to post more changes in the near future. I will leave it as is for now.

It looks worth to work further. Nice.
