* Thanks, Rashad.
This image could very well be my new favorite from you, which is really saying a lot. Your level of skill is not something we see everyday, and renders like this demonstrate it perfectly. The vegetation looks photoreal. In fact, aside from a few nit-picks I cannot find any flaws at all. Someday hopefully you might share your thought processes on how you compose such amazing and natural looking scenes in Bryce. I am inspired by you, I learn so much from looking at your images. I'll shut up now!!!! Full marks; darn it!!!!!!!!!
You're absolurely right, Alexey. I was mislead by the otherwise very realistic render and forgot that there is liberty of expresssion in art.
Thank you, c-ram. I'm able to do the render mode TA. My computer can not ... Recently, the processor overheated during long renders. Fails for overheating and all the work - for nothing! However, come here often. I have prepared some more work with an array of vegetation.
Thank you, Horo. Of course, some cloud exaggerated. It can not be in nature. But it may be in the imagination of the artist. I just could not resist. :)
Awesome... Slepalex, nice to see you back with such a perfect scene!! The grass, the shrubs, the trees, everything is looking so natural.. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one to try to make some "Vue like" picture with Bryce. So sorry that you are not able to render that kind of image in T.A mode. But to me you're the best at using normal mode render for luxurious landscapes, definetely! 5/5 for me.
The foreground part with the lake and the fir trees could be a photograph. Also the mountains in the middleground look good. There is something odd about the snow mountains (form and material excellent) and the clouds (again, the clouds as such are great). The mountains must be very high and such cumulus seldom go so high. They should interact with the high mountains. The picture as such is beautiful, very nicely composed, too.
