It is like a interim step of a creature who is transforming . Nice

Kadri.

you might be right, which is why i'm not getting to close to that evil thing'

Henry Blewer · January 16, 2010, 05:19:13 PM

It's creepy. Therefore it's great. Nice start. Is that a grass object in the foreground? I like the effect.

Zairyn Arsyn · January 16, 2010, 06:39:49 PM

yes, its walli's grass, it also has TU NWDA dirt/ground shader

i guess these types of renders are my specialty

theres another render on the way!

Very nice atmosphere, fairy tale like. One suggestion: move the tall tree behind J Meyer's tree away or move J Meyer's tree a bit left or right.

Nice and moody.
Agree with Dune as to the background tree.
And i think it would be good to have at least a smaller version of
the image right here,that way it would be easier to follow when
someone refers to some feature or so.Just my opinion of course.
(that goes for all link posters btw)
Keep going,J.

now i wish i hadn't started that render last night
i made some changes to the fog & lighting in the background...added an additional lightsource, which is red.

EoinArmstrong · January 17, 2010, 01:33:51 PM

Spooky and atmospheric

Thelby · January 17, 2010, 02:40:45 PM

Spooky is right, Spooky Cool!!! Nice job!!!

Zairyn Arsyn · January 18, 2010, 11:48:30 AM

here is what i did last night, still working on it.

inkydigit · January 18, 2010, 11:51:39 AM

looking real spooky...I like it Z!

j meyer · January 18, 2010, 12:43:34 PM

Background is better now,but i for one would get rid of the red light or
change the color at least.
Do you have your main light source colored btw?
And thanks for posting the pic here!

Zairyn Arsyn · January 18, 2010, 02:17:18 PM

alright... but i kinda liked that lighting setup
3 light sources, each colored,
still tweaking stuff.

eventually i'll do hires render with GI detail soon, when i have a day away from my machine..

I like what you are doing. Not everything has to be photorealistic. I have done many Terragen renders which are not based on reality.
