Mission Peak Preserve *Final Update*

[Gannaingh]

As always this looks like it will turn into a very fine looking render!

[RArcher]

Finally, an update and in fact the final version!

Pretty much everything except the base terrains have changed since the first version.

For anyone interested here is the list of vegetation used and where it appears:

Foreground grasses - 3 varieties by Walli
Midground grass - 1 variety by Klas
Midground bushes - 3 varieties by Walli
Tree coverage for the hills - 1 variety of Oak and 1 variety of Silver Birch by Klas
Tree coverage for the background hills leading up to the mountains - 2 varieties of Pine by Walli

Rendered at:

Detail: 1
AA: 10
GI 2/4

Approximately 13 hours rendering at 1600 x 1000.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions, they certainly helped!

The image turned out a little larger than I can post here without reducing the quality too much so you can find the full version here, just click on the image to get full size:

Looks great. I would have made it more hazy, but only for the middle distance.

cool image.  I like the style of it

[Gannaingh]

You sir, are very good at this! I especially love the distant mountains on the far left; something about them just makes me really happy.

I always wonder how people manage to create terrains like these to get a perfect view.. Myself, I haven't learn it yet, I just generate a random terrain and use 1 hour for a good spot
Beautiful image, very very inspiring!

nice one Ryan, I appreciate how much time you have spent on this...it has turned out to be a most excellent render!

[domdib]

On the one hand, a great deal of realism, yet on the other, a painterly feel (perhaps because of the DOF and the far haze, shading into the bright sky). Wonderful!

Hey everybody,

Since Ryan isn't allowed to say this, I will  The vegetation in this latest image was rendered using a higher quality render mode which is currently in alpha testing. The plants he listed don't render quite the same in the current public release, especially in the distance. I thought it was fair to let the rest of you know, since he mentioned which plants he's using but you're not using exactly the same renderer

If you want to discuss what I've just said, please open a new thread so that we don't hijack Ryan's thread too much!

The flora this time around looks like it is attached to the terrain and not so static looking. I usually do not see this in many renders where the flora does not look as if it is a part of the terrain.
