0 Keldyn Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 Nice going so far. What are you using to render this? A few minor things caught my eye however. First the yellow band beneath the cloud cover. It does not look right. Secondly, there seems to be a perspective issue. I do not get the impression that this mountain has height. It looks more like a anthill.. lol. Lastly the color.... At higher altititudes would there not be less vegatation and more rock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 wildliquid Posted December 30, 2002 Author Share Posted December 30, 2002 thanks keldyn the yellow band is part of the sky... and i know what you mean about the height.... thanks for the help :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 SOOPAH256 Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 wow keldyn. at first glance, i didn't really see anything wrong with the picture. it looked pretty good to me...but after reading your post and looking at the picture again, i totally saw what you're talking about. hehe, very perceptive of you. ;) i suppose that's what you get for maintaining neowin for so long. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 kjordan2001 Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 (edited) The sky definitely needs fixing, it's too blocky. And the vegitated rockface looks out of place since everything directly around it is barren. The yellow looks out of place with the gray sky and doesn't look too skyish either.

0 IlliniPi Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 The yellow kinda stands out...maybe it could be changed to a red-orange color? Fade look sounds nice. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 wildliquid Posted December 31, 2002 Author Share Posted December 31, 2002 i did say that the sky looked crap ;) what about these too... the only thing im not liking about them is the kinda blockyness in the reflection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Keldyn Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Now that is a huge improvement mr wildliquid! bravo! :D Perspective looks much better. Sky is nicely rendered and the coloring is spot in. Lighting is accurate too. :thumbup: Some antialiasing will help clear up the jaggy edges ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 wildliquid Posted December 31, 2002 Author Share Posted December 31, 2002 thanks Keldyn cant use antialiasing in terragen... i tried using blur too fix it but it didnt work:( just looked crap :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Ricky Baby Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 try adding some ripples etc to the water - it might hide th blockiness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 wildliquid Posted December 31, 2002 Author Share Posted December 31, 2002 i was thinking that... that but then i thought it might take too much away from the reflection.... im rendering a super large version and then i will resize it down... thought that might fix it a tad?

0 chavo Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 My only question is, How long does that take to render on your 10Mz 286? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rAz dA FAz Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 be real chavo unless ure being sarcastic :D , watever program he is using definately needs more processing power, more RAM, it waaaaaaaay to rubbish to run anything like that, maybe Paint and Windows 3.1, LMFAO!

0 wildliquid Posted January 1, 2003 Author Share Posted January 1, 2003 yeah guys rendering that picture on my win 3.1 machine makes it smoke... but im happy with the result :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Monkeh Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 (edited) i wouldnt worry too much about some minor fuzzyness, what you need to work on is the textures. good atmosphere settings, lightning values, water settings, cloud formation and texturing in terragen would really help. and one person does everything i mentioned above perfectly, you can visit stotty at deviantart, he's got some great tutorials too. edit: oh, you can get rid of the blocks by choose max quality (seems like you chose something lower by looking at your renders). you should also increase camera sensitivity or gamma correction values, most of the darker textures in your panorama render cannot be seen.

0 wildliquid Posted January 3, 2003 Author Share Posted January 3, 2003 stotty actually helped me with this piece... and it wasnt the quality of the render that made it blocky... its just something that happens in the new version of terragen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 deimos Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 yeah guys rendering that picture on my win 3.1 machine makes it smoke... but im happy with the result :wacko: wait a minute...are you seriously using windows 3.1? are those your real system specs in your sig or is that a joke?

0 Evil Dragon Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 Wow! That last one looks pretty damn good! The only thing I would suggest is to shift the light source around so it's more behind the view... Not too much. Just a tad! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Tribal Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 If your planning on doing final touches with it in photoshop, I would suggest you try to sinq the color and lighting up for the mountain and the sky, the mountains almost look surreal because both the mountains and the sky are in focus, you could try adding a blur effect to the sky then using variations to get the right color combos to make the image look more real.
