Description Part One of a collab between *kmdigital and myself, the brief for me was quite wide open, I do the terragen scene and he do the post processing...

"Something more mystical, magical... dreamy. Awesome use of lighting, like if the theme were to be... "Dream Lights" or something. Making use of as many landscape features as possible.. sort of making a utopian dream scene."

I don't know too much about what his work on this will be, but I do know a 3D city type scene, perhaps a tower or something, a little Lord of the Rings type scene perhaps. I can tell you he is a great graphics artist so I am looking forward to the results eagerly, go check him out.

So, here you are Kevin, good luck.

The working file is just under 6000x4000, other resolutions are available, shout if you want one.

hehe, funny, I just saw Part Two of this collab in the fav recommendations of *tigaer 's and ~hypnotic 's "Fluid Gold" , and then I clicked the link to this piece and looked at the title... "what? Nov 27? This didn't show up in my devwatch!" then I realized it was from 2002 (seems I did not check your gallery completely when I started watching you, I didn't do this when I started, should make that up some time...)

This is definitely one of the most realistic renders I've ever seen. The grass texture and water work very well, though the rays are a bit overwhelming.

Even though the sun light might be a bit bright in the sky, I really like this scene. The lighting and shading really turn this into a magical setting. And the texturing is just flawless. I really can't wait to see what the final colab piece is going to be like. You already did an awsome job on this

project9 [2002-11-28 13:28:47 +0000 UTC]

terragen's mapped grass always looks like moss over clay to me, maybe it is coz the greens are not convincin enuff, or the lighting is not good enough.

Dude i suggest you study more how light works one landscapes in the real life. You'll notice that with such poweful sun (like the one here) and it being so high you wouldn't have such dark shadows. In some places u see a big contrast between shadows and lit areas caused by the intensity falloff.

Search in the 3d forum for the "google dot come and lighting" thread, it has a very nice link that show the basic of lights. Such as fill lights coz this scene needs a few fill lights.

lol, as if my teeny comment means much. you hit the top favs again !

Already it has a fantasy like atmosphere to it. I like the way you laid out the mountains and the scenery. The grass texture is very nice and the lights of course set the mood. I'm very eager to see how this render with kmdigital's touches comes out

dark-illusion [2002-11-28 01:08:21 +0000 UTC]

Ok lets see....where to start
wonderfull sky in this, top pts in it. Beautiful sunrays. I think u could increase the length of the suns reflection, but narrow it down a slight bit and less reflectivness, it might make it look more natural
ok the texures in this is great, so i see u have learned to hide ur smooth side textures so i can't assualt u about it eh? , from what i can make out they look good, especially the shoreline
everythign else about this is great, another masterpeice by Stotty

Totally, absolutely, intensely Amazingly done man, I love the textures, the water and those rays! Also that muddy creekbed is totally awesome. Was the landscape made in terragen, 3DEM, WorldBuilder or what?
