Description My first pic after a HD-crash and new-installation of OS. Terrain I combined from several others; atmo is an old one and surfacemaps done from scratch, cause most of my oldones are lost

Tis is also my contribution for the TerraGeneration-Art-Pack 'Seasons', the spring-piece

However, rendered as always in double resolution, scaled down, resharpen and other postwork in PS.

Hope you'll like it.

Thanks for viewing and commenting.

A beautiful result, Chris. The sky show/light is awesome, and your terrain and surface work, superb. Lovely colors you chose. Excellent work.

Thanks Britta!
AFAIR I made the rain-effect in PS with the AutoFX-Plugin...

That's cool! I can never get Photoshop to cooperate with me... although now I think it's broken. So it REALLY doesn't cooperate now!

I've also need years that it cooperates halfway
A new-installation should do it. Which version are you working with?

LightDrop In reply to time-to-kill-death [2006-04-24 01:53:26 +0000 UTC]

Ahh I see. It has about thirty in that case and I don't remember how long it took exactly, cause it's always a fiddlin with the terrain and lighting, you know... I tend also to blend some layers out and adding new ones for a certain POV.
But I could submit it to you, if you like.

Fabulous render with some seriously brilliant post-work. The mistiness of the rain and the subtle shades of the rainbow are just beautifull blended into the overall design.

Another stunning atmosphere! I recommend toning down the green on the surface. Too brilliant. You almost need practically black to look right, or else very pale.

Thanks again! Will consider that for the future; thanks for the tip also!

Thanks Jimmy!

The strata is the same, over and over, in the whole pic. And stratas could need work always, imho
