Description


Terragen, no postwork (except sharpen/gamma). This was my entry to the TerraCon "Snow" contest. It was placed 11 of 66. Thank you for the 5 votes for second place and 3 for most original picture :-) I am NOT satisfied with the animal tracks (too rough). The idea was to make Bear tracks, but this was difficult (without postwork :). Also I wanted some blod to make it more dramatic, but I can see that I should have used overlay distribution instead of just hight based blod-color. Learning all the time ;-) Terrain is a combination of homemade "DEM file" (from at photo of car tracks), World Machine and hand edited terrain. Comments are welcome

Where do you find all those great ideas?! Snow is very good and I like this strange terrain and pov. The tracks are good enough to understand what they are without any explanation :) Excellent work!

What a great pic, I love the footprints (even if they are a bit rough) and besides these obvious eye-catchers the surfaces are amazing as well!

...the bear abruptly woke from his sleep. "What was that?" he exclaimed. "Spring already? Good! I must go check." The bear rose from his bed and knew, from the beautiful sunlight streaming into his cave, that it was a glorious day outside. Anxious to see the lovely rocks and mountains, he scurried from the cave, in an unnatural fit of cabin fever. "What? MORE snow?!?! I thought the sounds of spring woke me but it was... OWWWWWWWWWWWWUCH!!!!," the bear yelled in agony. The poor animal had cut his foot on a sharp spire of rock. "Nobody said these pictures were real," the bear grumbled. "They just make them too darn well. Oh, bother! I'm bleeding! I will go home and clean my foot but, this time, I'll walk around!"

This is a wonderful terrain. Very bleak. I think the tracks work well. The blood maybe would show better if you colored and reduced reflection of the water?

A Super image and concept the tracks add drama and may be a Yeti!! Maybe postwork is not for the purist but so little cannot be a bad thing!

Thanks again, you are very kind - and I am honored by these positive comments from all you great artists. @danob: Thanks now I understand what you mean - should have used a little postwork here after competition to get things as I wanted them. Why did I not think of that. You are so right :-)
