Description
Render time a little more than three hours; creation time about a three days. Thanks to the many who have contributed their files and work on the many things that constitute the composition of this scene:
• Cottonwood Tree (autumn leaves) – lightning
• Groundcover – lightning
• Grass – klas
• Hanana Rose flower – Bobby Stahr
• Cirrus Clouds – FrankB …Visit Frank’s site at http://nwda.webnode.com/terragen-2-tech-packs/ where he offers some fantastic cloud file at very reasonable prices.
• Rocks/stones – dandelO …Visit the Planetside forum ‘rock library’ to download the file which contains numerous sizes of rock, stones and pebbles.
This image was a lot of fun creating. I was inspired to create this picture after reading some articles about ‘Moving Rocks’ in the Raceway area of the Death Valley in California. For more than 50 years now, scientists and enthusiasts have pondered on how these rocks (several hundred pounds and more) are able to move on level ground leaving their tracks in the dry lake bed. Many theories are offered; yet, science is baffled as to the cause of their movement. Interested?

Excellent result, Bob! Great realism!

Wonderful green landscape !!!!
Wonderful scenery, Bob!!!
Good deployment of foliage and stones, and good overall realism in scene. I like those clouds. Thanks for the info, Bob. Fascinating stuff, and excellent work on your render.
cool realism
Very nice composition, and the slightly dense atmo gives this image a believable depth. This atmo softness might be able to add more realism to your tree population problem as seen in earlier renders... maybe! It certainly seemed to pay off bigtime in Moodflow's "Forest Valley" render of a few weeks ago.
Now this is what TG users have been trying to achieve, "Photo quality." Into my WIHD folder Bob.!!! Beyond Excellent...!!
This can pass a s a photograph!!! Superb realism, Bob!!!!
Superb realism in a perfectly balanced scene. You've got my interest up now- I'll have to check out these moving rocks!
Very high quality, realistic, and artful too Bob. . . This would make a superb Arizona Highways cover!!!
Superb realism! Congrats on a wonderful collaboration!
@Fahrenheit451; Thanks for your kind comments. However, this is not a collaboration. The parties mentioned offer the models for download and can be used by anyone.
Nicely done Bob...I've seen those rocks on TV...they are strange indeed! Once again your realism just keeps getting better and better!
fantstic realistic! you've done a gorgeous work! interesting reading about the moving rocks! ;o)
Wonderful teamwork!
@kanzler: This was not a teamwork; rather, it was my use of others' plant objects and clip files.
Excellent work very beautiful scene!!
