Description
Though I'm really looking forward to the Spring, I made this autumn impression: A rainy day in the forest, a heavy shower has just passed, only a few drops are still falling...
Again, this is quite similar to a scene I made some time ago with Vue 4, now the new possibilties with Vue 5 Infinite called for another "go" of this imaginary place :)
(But, I'm still not completely satisfied with the outcome, mainly the lighting presented some problems, as I was going for an overcast, not-so-contrasted look. Global ambience, which I used, isn't good enough, I think. Global Illumination (and Radiosity, of course) may do the trick, but the rendertime will skyrocket. Well, maybe I'll give it a try...)
The ususal toolbox: V5I, Onyxtree, Bantam3D "Grass". All objects and textures by me.
Some tweaking with the levels and colours in Photoshop. Originally I had added a few "raindrops" on the "camera lens", it was a fun effect, but I decided to ...ehrr drop them :)
Some 700 mio polys, rendered in 3 hrs. in "Broadcast", 1600x1200 original render.
- Hope you like this, thanks for comments etc. on the last ones, comments on this one are very welcome and much appreciated.
Have nice day
- Lars

absolutely fantastic work!!! V
Lovely feel of autumn, love the brook running down the middle.
splendidly composed and very well detailed forest scene. particularly i like the lot of different vegetation and the spider web, it's a nice detail. as always, excellent done, Lars! :) V
Beautiful and kinds misty feel with the broadcast render. I would love to walk down that bit of path to see where it goes. V
Beautifully done! I love the colors here, the lighting and the addition of the spider's web is an excellent touch!
Wow, very beautiful and that spiderweb is an incredible touch!
Gorgeous landscape scene!! As always, high quality. Bravo!
Frights, probably, are found in this bog. Wonderfully!
Wonderfully detailed scene :)
Excellent..one of your best. I love the colouring and the planting is perfectly detailed. V ;0)
Awesome vegetation work as always!!
Love it!!! Superb depiction of my most favorite time of the year - many thanks for sharing. :)
I love the vegetation and the composition is perfect but I agree with you on the lighting problems; it would be interesting to give it a GI/GR (overnight) render in a smaller format especially now when you work in Vue inf. :-) - nevertheless it's a lovely pic!
The vegetation and atmosphere are outstanding. Beautifully done!
I agree that the composition is perfect. The vegetation is just amazing! The lighting gives it more of a painted look than your usual. Like I can almost see the canvas texture. :-)
Lars, vous es un chef!
