Forgotten Forest FINAL storyboard

[Zairyn Arsyn]

the ivy looks better the diffuse color darker in imo.

i had to turn off ray trace objects, the monolith textures disappear when i use it.

[Zairyn Arsyn]

i decided to rename this project to Forgotten forest.

another new render with different skies and water (which i like better) 

the next thing i will be working will be improving the dark ground texture some, probably will add some grasses too,

C&C welcome

This is really coming along. The ivy on the monoliths gives that extra bit of visual interest, and they are pretty mysterious looking. Look forward to where the animation takes us on this.

Sweet looking

[Zairyn Arsyn]

thanks for the comments

i decided since today is a work day for me to do another hi res render of storyboard image #2
@ 2560x1560 hopefully it will be done when i get home, it was partially done with the sky before i left this morning.

Looking pretty damned solid, those pylons look as if they've always been there. I think I'd want to lose those tree trunks off the side of the river, and a thought on how to achieve that would be to use the same tree model, but set the object origin to just below the canopy, and set a new population, so that you get the folage to work as river side bushes.

a new render showing the new sand texture (mainly underwater)

now on to work on adding & tweaking populations

[Zairyn Arsyn]

here is a render showing the new bushes i added last night (two populations), as well as a closser look at the shallow water, you can see the sand texture in some places.

C&C welcome

last one is sweeet zagadka!

[Rudolfking]

Awesome, I like it. Maybe some dirt needed around the sand, it's too ... 'shiny' and 'tidy' yet. Or stones, more ground level grass and variations...

[MacGyver]

You're making good progress!

[Zairyn Arsyn]

currently i have a very wide render going at home (3500x900) showing both shallow areas on both sides of the river.

@Rudolfking- i was already planning on adding some rocks & fixing the sand surfaces, just haven't gotten to that yet,
i will add some grass too

currently there are 12 populations in this scene.

It is getting better with every image! Would love to see the last image with the final settings
