Description
I like those uphill points of view; gives one the feeling and thoughts of 'what's up over the hill'. I created a makeover here of a terrain/POV I've used several times over the past few years; this time adding different colors, atmosphere and plants.
Note the grayish blue stains on the red rocks. Looking into this, I found that this is attributed to molybdenum. Almost everywhere in red rock country, you will see this patina among the landforms.
The vegetation used here is:
• Walli's Dry Shrubs; numbers 8 and number 2. I added different image maps for number 8 shrub making it appear as sage plants. These dry shrubs are available at NWDA.
• Walli's Wood Anemone available at Silva 3D.
• Red Bud tree from XFrog available free at http://xfrog.com/130-free-xfrogplants-now-available/ .
If there is enough interest in this terrain, I'll make it available in 'File sharing'.
Enjoy.

Beautiful iamage Bob, great work!
Gorgeous, as always. Sure, I'm interested in the terrain. I like your idea about looking uphill.
Beautiful image! Love the terrain and surface. Gorgeous flowers and lighting. Corrie
Another excellent render. Nice depth and very good Textures all around. Really like the tree it helps set the scene.
another great work
A fantastic master piece Bob!!!!!!!!!!!!
great
This is a really nice piece of work. Love the texturing here!
Excellent work.
super work in detail, great done, Bob
Interesting etchings on those rocks, Bob. I'm guessing voronoi cracks imbedded into large boulder-sized fake stones. A higher definition tree near right would greatly enhance this scene. Great work, Bob.
The rocks steal the day. Excellent piece of observation. Would appreciate a file when you have the time. rat.
The rocks are SUPER. Very nice scene.
Nice Earth Tone Colors in this! I really like the area around the flowers. It just seems to flow So Naturally!! Super Piece of Work, Bob!!!

the light, the terrain & surface is absolute brilliant here Bob.
Agree with everyone else...this is excellent work. You are the Desert King!!!
I think the Voronoi displacements on the rocks are interesting and nice work with object placement and distribution! Molybedah what? I spit beer all over my keyboard just trying to say that!
