Description
Another view of the same large scene I posted last time. Not quite a WIP as this portion of the scene is mostly done so I thought I'd give it a high-quality render. 3hrs at best anti-aliasing and 1600x1000px. A little photoshop postwork to correct levels and add some distance haze.
When I've finished this scene I'll get onto posting some tutorials. Those boulders are ridiculously easy to create and I've also figured out a way to do some easy fake GI sky-lighting that drastically cuts down render times. It also allows you to render very large images without Carrara giving those damned "memory allocation errors" that I used to get whenever I tried to render above 2000 pixels wide.

Marvelous and beauty look!!!!!!!!!!!bravissimo!V:DDD.Hugsxx
Beautiful scene, I will look forward to those tutorials.
Incredibly Lush and Beautiful!!! Stunning Realism in this!!!
Fantastic foliage work, beautiful image
Excellent stuff with a tremendous sense of realism and atmosphere. I would like to create something similar with standing stones (based on some I know in Scotland) so will definitely look forward to the tutorials.
Awesome image and so very realistic! The colors are very vibrant and clear. Excellent work. I'll look forward to seeing your tutorials!
Stunning work as usual. I look forward to the tutorials to see how you've pieced this together. Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge!
Impressive as always, I look forward to the final image. Also I'll be looking forward for those tips, and those damned memory alloctations have kept me away from carrara for a few weeks except for creating background skies for daz.
I'd put that on my wall right now! Love it!!
Fantastic image as always. Looking forward to those tutorials.
Fantastic Howie!! Thank you for being so gracious to do a tutorial.

I've rarely seen a landscape so well done in Carrara. Most excellent work.
In-Smegging-Credible!!!! I'm in awe.
This could almost pass for a photo.
Can't wait to see your how to tutorial on this. Great work!
Gorgeous! I guess your tutorial will interest a lot of us. Thanks in advance.
Whoa - beautiful forest. I could crawl right inside that picture.
Another superb job!! You know the outdoors so well Im wondering where you plug in your computer! : ) very realistic!
Such fantastic detail!! Love the trees/foliage and boulders! This reminds me of one of my favorite hiking spots in the Gifford Pinchot. I also look forward to your tuts.
It is pretty unbelievable what you can do with carrara!
You are the master! Who needs photo backgrounds when you have Howie?!
Perfect, just perfect. A lovely place too.
So realistic !! I have just started using Carrara and wish I could get even half this good !
Great! But the leaves on the ground seem to float a little?
