Prairie V2

[Antoine]

Hello,

I have been inspired by a tv series environment to do this scene. I did the old trees on the left and the cut ones with Tree Plant Factory version 1 (2014).

Oh this is really really nice
Great grasses! If possible I'd like to see one or two more variations of the dry and green grasses.
Perhaps they are already there and mixed 100%, if so then you may consider a wee bit more clumping of the variations.
The logs are a nice touch and the trees look good. Not too fond of the tree stump on the right though, the superflat top is a bit distracting?

Which series btw? Carnivale?

Great render, David. I really like the curving track, the bleached grass, and the very nice trees. I agree with Martin about the straight-topped trunk. If you could 'wilden that up' a bit, it's perfect.

[Antoine]

Thank you Martin and Ulco !
I have been inspired in part by the "Little house on the prairie" series environment and some summer "causses" landscape environment (high plateaux south of massif central in France). I agree with the straight topped trunk, I need to improve the top.
Otherwise for the grass, yes I will try to add some variations but I don't know if my computer have enough memory for that.

Very very nice!

Looks great. A very nice summer feeling. Agree with the others about the grass and the trunk. A tip: there's a free (lying) wood log here:

If you rotate it and put it upright a bit into the earth you'll have a very natural looking tree stump with a perfectly imperfect cut area.

[fleetwood]

Excellent. Like this one a lot. 

[zaxxon]

That's very well done. The grasses and the trees with foliage are natural and individual looking, the stumps could use some work to match the quality of the other objects. The composition and lighting is excellent!

Great image! There is everything to like.  Agree with others about improving on straight cut trunk a tad, but overall this image is well done.

[Antoine]

Thank you all !
Here is an updated render with a new trunk. I will try to add some more grass variations on the path if my computer can handle it because there are already many instances in this scene.

When you said tv series, I immediately thought Little House on the Prairie, so well done. It was filmed in the hills above Simi Valley, California  (lived there for awhile) if you wanted to see some photos. On the stump you could put a little birdhouse in the shape of the Ingalls house on the stump as an homage

This is really quite nice! It has a very natural feel (as do many of your renders), especially in the lighting and texture colors. Very believable. My only (minor) concern is the log laying down, more in the foreground (the other is hidden enough to not matter as much). I find this log to be a bit overly smooth and not reacting enough to the light direction. If you haven't applied a bump map to it yet, consider adding that, or better yet another Megascans or other high resolution model. If a bump is already applied, consider setting that one object to Force Displacement (you'll probably need to increase Micropoly detail then, though).

Wow...a lot like the prairie around here though not currently...well done but I agree with Oshyan re: the log...Look forward to what ever you do next really...
