Wonderful composition and render This one is so close to photorealism so that the slightest shortcommings and imperfections become very obvious. It is bitter irony that the closer we come to photorealistic perfection in Bryce the more imperfections are reavealed in our work. I am not even going to worry about the fact that this not based on Bryce-ONLY modelling. What you HAVE done is brilliant. Possible improvements? Perhaps the shadows should have more modulation particularly under the Mushroom Caps. In the grass as well i would likel i bit more shadow and colour modulation. But you get 5/5 from me no matter what changes you may make. It is an efford that very few achieve! Nice composition too.
* Thank you, c-ram. Specularity is available, but this method of lighting and pseudo SSS destroyed it. I guess in this case it is necessary to do more.
Wonderfull nature scene Alex. I like the vegetation surounding those little mushrooms. Just one suggestion, try to put specularity on your leaves and on the mushrooms to give more improuvment to this image. Top marks!! and 5 stars for this artwork.
* Thank STKydd and bullit.
I will just add that the colors are wonderful!!
I don't know what else i can say that has not been said above, outstanding image Alex.
* Thank you, friends!
Very nice modeling work and materials. Your adaptation of the sss foliage works wonders. All elements combined makes it look like that's not bryce render at all. A 5er from me too, well deserved.
The leaves on the upper left part look very realistic. The fly amanita [Amanita muscaria] also looks absolutely natural. Superbly lit. I like that some very dark shadowy parts are retained. Top marks.
What a lovely scene. I have already thought to make a picture with mushrooms by myself, but I am sure I would never reach your perfection. Your mushrooms are outstanding. The other plants, too. And the light is flawless. The dark shadow in the background fits perfectly.
