Much better in full view. Great terrain! Corrie
All these incremental improvements will lead to something absolutely stunning I'm convinced. Always look forward to see what tricks you pull out of the hat each time.
Great Realism!
Awesome close up ... Thanks!
Excellent image!
stunning
Great realism
I am Liking this a Whole Bunch, Bob!!! Super Fantastic on those cracks!!!!!
Wow, this looks incredible and is best viewed in full to get the best out of the picture and see the finer details. Those cracks look quite real and 3D, plant population is very well done and laid out. The only negative is those rocks, they just don't seem look quite right or out of place some how, can't quite put my finger on it. Very well done Bob.
wonderful scene! ... about those rocks that Gunglejim noticed, I think it might be that they all seem generally the same size---maybe some scattered and little groups of smaller rocks and pebbles by the larger rocks would satisfy our "mind's eye" (our pre-concieved and culturally tampered-with notion of how rocks should appear in such a setting?)
Superb realism, Bob!!! Fantastic details and lighting!!!
Got to love this one.
Awesome work. It looks like a photo. Well done.
One of your best with TG 2 !!! Very realistic !!!! Cool texture and grass !!
just superb
I really like this- I was checking under all the grass for hidden critters.
Wonderful composition. Only critique would be that the dry bush could use some displacement or a higher resolution texture, possibly just a higher poly object. You are certainly blurring the the line between reality and CG. I don't think you're that far away from producing Matte back drops that any studio would be proud of. It all comes down to details. Keep up the good work.
Colors, cracked surface, placement and distribution, close-up view- outstanding work!
excellent artwork
Bob you are a magician! This is fantastic!!!!!!!!

Even when you zoom in the textures are pretty good! Nice work!!!
