Description
Personally, I do like the "graphic" quality of the desert (it looks great on my desktop). Having said that, i actually have seen such lined pattern in the real world during my travels. Just for grins, I did the highest quality Vue render. Geez!! 17 hours. Way too long and not worth the effort.
Vue Infinite and LW 8.x vehicles (no post processing was necessary)
As most LW users already know, these and other models are downloadable from my website.

You may not feel the result was worth the time expended, but I think this image is great. The colour tones blend to give it an almost painted quality. It would be right at home on sci-fi novels I was reading in the 70's. Excellent. V
Great models! I would have made the sand texture a bit smaller so you can't see the pixels in it in the forground, but still a great render overall!
An excellent result. 17 hrs, thats why those private movies still are unreachable. And your personal time for this Picture? 2 hours or much more? A bit deterrent time consuming.
Well, I think the sand texture is tied into the lines, not the dunes. So if I had changed the scale, the lines would have been extremely close together an ruined the effect. Getting a picture "right" as you can imagine, starts with placing the right elements in there, for composition, then test rendering and test rendering and changing scaling and more test rendering, adding volumetric effects, such as the dust, and retexturing the model(s) and more test rendering. This is never a 2-hour investment, Spacefan, but in the end, IMO, always worth the effort.
Excellent image, I do love the rippled sand.
