Description
Basically the same scene and POV as in my previous posting, but with a completely new "overcast" atmosphere. Also, I didn't like my Vue ferns, so I replaced them with some made in Onyxtree.
Personally, I like this overcast version better. Perhaps because it is much more demanding, it's difficult to get the overcast look "right" (one of my never ending "quests", getting closer every time IMHO). And because the subtle shadows and global illumination is much more revealing (of any errors or lack of detail) than sunlight and deep, hard cast shadows.
Some 8 hrs. render with Global Illumination (skydome type atmosphere).
Thanks for taking a view, and for any comments etc. you may drop. Of course it's a bit recycled, hope you like it anyway.
Have a nice day

I like this one too. Excellent atmo and vegetation!
Had to go back to the other one to compare. I like the new ferns, but I'm kind of partial to the birght sunny atmosphere. It's my needing of spring to come, I guess. LOL. Both are excellent, though. :-)
Awesome stuff here it looks like I could just walk in and get lost!!!!
Awesome work! The atmosphere looks great in this one.
Mh, and where are elven rangers in this pic? Nah, I like it. Id like to build a log-house there :)
This is the one I prefer too!
Well shoot I think you hit the nail on the head! I like this one much better too. :)
I prefer this one too.

Very Lovely place and arranged plants!!!
Beautiful forest scene....excellent realism too.
great atmosphere. omg, it makes me wanna cry.
Very good render.
Stunning :)
Excellent.. this looks almost real.. Well done!
Excellent! :B eaver !
I could allmost hear the birds singing and chirping; Excellent realism.
Actually, IMHO, it's ten times better then the first version, simply because of how well you made the atmosphere and overall effects of the lighting/shading and much better depth to it and the feeling that it's no so much CG as the first version, which, BTW, was also really good, but this makes the first one now look sort of lame in comparison :) You can "really" feel the "air" in this scene. Thanx loads for updating this and reposting it, I love to see how people improve on previous images, especially when they do it this well. ...............md :) Rating from me went up from a 3 to a 5 now!
Truly Fantastic. I like this lighting much better. The sunny one was excellent, but this is much better. Well done. :-)
That has to be the "most" realistic forest image I've ever seen in 3D
Bravo once more!
This one looks even more realistic than the first one, but I had a soft spot for the beautiful light falling on the trees Great work anyway !
