Description
This is a little project that I've been working on - on and off - for a few days, inspired by seeing an aerial photo and thinking "That would be an interesting project to do in Carrara!". It makes extensive use of surface replicators for trees, grass, buildings and sheep (!) with separate distribution maps for each.

I'd really appreciate any suggestions for how this could be improved to make it look more realistic - some views of it remind me of models rather than the real thing - which is why I put it in the WIP category.
Thanks for taking a look - let me know how it could be better! Cheers, Phil

This is a very good work! Perhaps a bit fog or haze in the background could make it look even more real. Well done!
Phil, This is brilliant. The only suggestion I can maake is maybe make it a little lighter and add a little distance haze? But it's brililant as it is, mate!
Tolle Bilder 5+++++
Beautiful Village,Fantastic work.
excellent POVs and scenery!!
Very cool work!!
mate..pretty interesting... based on my limited knowledge : you gotta see the type of sunlight used..it's seemed like in the 2nd picture, the shadow of the trees seemed to be casting the opposite way:)
Pffffff !!! every time I tried to use "replicator", I never have a so good distribution... Y're a master ! :-)
Awesome Phil - this is very impressive. All I can suggest for the "model" look is the difference must be in lighting and atmosphere. Keep with this its so cool!
It is really a beautiful composition, very well made... Bravo!
Splendid and fantastic modelling Phil.........!!!!!
Looks great Phil!! Luv your experiments!! Keep 'em coming!! :)
Great image! Very good idea. The texture of the houses look strange to me.
Excellent!
Cool! This will be a fun project to follow. The video looked great too!
Looks very good so far, to me the most obvious problem is the river. The color seems too light and the size of the ripples is too large which puts off the scale of the whole image.
Beautifully composed and rendered landscape. Excellent work!
Great scene!!!
beautiful scene
This is very cool and I see tons of ways to use it. Is it available to others? Nice work.
This is indeed a wonderful scene which shows sophisticated usage of Carrara's surface replicator. I've often thought of trying such a scene and here you've gone and done it! Your success here is very inspiring! One minor suggestion, and only because you requested them; the tree distribution is wonderful, yet the trees look a bit homogenous, perhaps adding a slightly different colored tree, or two to your replicators would make the tree population look a little more varied. Kudos for your execution of your idea here!
Fantastic work.
Fantastic Project and final result Phil!
It's an excellent bit of work. The ripples for the river are definitely too large though.
Great image - HF
Great work!
Found it! This is really wonderful! I had no idea that such lovely scenery could be created in the programme. I'm still sticking with Vue though ;-)
