Description
Another try at a curvy road.
Terrain work etc. is all based on a large (3500x5500) image-map prepared in CorelDraw (to control the curves and lines) and then finished in Photoshop (a lot of painting).
Most of the vegetation is with modified Vue VEG-plants.
Vue 5 Infinite render, GA with volumetric atmosphere.
Thanks for taking a look, comments etc. always welcome and appreciated.
Have a fine day

Great Picture and nice light i like it cool stuff go on....
Woooowwwww, excellent Beautiful perfect well done!!!!!!5+++++++
That's one of the best roads I've seen!! Excellent render!
Excellent work, Bravo!!
wow, that's beautiful! reminds me of a place just outside New Haven, CT.
Great job Lars...only issue I see is the leaves on the road a out of scale (too large) but a minor point. Wonderful lighting.
Just a word covers my thought - M A G N I F I C E N T ! ! ! !
WOW! Excellent colors and wonderful autumn image. Excellent work!
Very cool image! Great road and the fall foliage is gorgeous.
Thanks for your comments so far. I agree with "kenwas" on the leaves on the road, it's so annoying to realize that when the render is completed. It happens because it is extremely difficult to estimate the scaling when you paint the leaves on the HUGE image map texture (as I did here). Too small, too large - really you can only tell when the render is completed in a fairly high quality in the actual scene. Well, if it's not OK, then - back to the drawing board in Photoshop and start from scratch :) Of course, the leaves could be added as ecosystems, I didn't in this one, because I wanted to control the distribution/appearance as much as I could. Anyway, thanks again.
Great work, splendid image!
Wow. Great road and map. Nice composition, too!
The only thing I can say is it's breathtaking. Wow.
Outstanding work! The road is superb!
Hmm... well, like you already know about the leaves and scale, so I won't bother much on repeting that, but would suggest, that is it your full intent to have to have a road instead of a bike path or something else? Cuz to me, it's not so much the scale of the leaves as the scale of the road itself, as it is too small compatred to the whole surrounding scene, meaning look at the leaves on the trees and the ferns and other such things, they would all need to be scaled down too to match the scale of the road, so it feels more like the roads width is more of the problem there. And since you obviously can't really fit a larger scale road in that scene and still keep things nice and clean and as beutifull as it is right now, a bike path or even just a cobble stone road that doesn't have the white lines that tend to make the scale stand out more, might be a better choice for this scene? Either way, I wouldn't want to be you right now LOL That looks like a lot of work no matter how you do things. Now, if you were using Vue6 you could get away with a LOT more of control, but it looks like you aren't, so the mapping method may be the only real choice. Good luck and I look forward to seeing your next version of this :) ...........md :)
Fantastic - something to wish to drive through. Very cool ight too btw, a just perfect image. Beside the maybe just a bit too clean road. Normally on places like that there is dirt and a dead whatever on the road.
Lovely image. The lighting and vegetation and perfect and I admire your ambition in trying for something different and difficult with the road.
Fascinating work. Love it!
IMO A great looking image!
Lovely work!!!!!!
Very F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C. 5+.
Well,I see it as a modern day Wizard of Oz.Very fantasy,and very beautiful(; Lighting is top notch!
Impressive! Nice job!
Absolutely stunning
v nice colours on the ferns and vegetation. if the leaves were only more swirled up by the wind and the scale too:) but nice mood
Great image and colours.
Magnifique
beautiful realistic scene with excellent plants and colours
I've just been working on a road too - though yours is far superior. Excellent work!!
Fantatic, nothing more to say....
