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?

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

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.

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 ;)

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?

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.

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

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

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.
