Description
I'm still officially in Lord of the Rings mode,(3 more days!!!!) but I thought I would do something different for christmas. This is kind of inspired by Riven, ive always loved the CG in those games, and Sbleci's work...
Everything modeled in wings, except for the christmas tree and small rope bridges which can be found in freestuff. you may notice some of the ornaments are floating, i wanted it to seem like they were "magic" or something, i hope that doesnt sound like a cop-out:) the textures are from www.animax.it, and the texture used on the huts are from one of Alvinylaya's older tutorials.
well, Merry (early) Xmas everyone--hope everyone can be home:) and thanks for looking/commenting!

Incredible work!
Really nice work.
Beautiful render! The textures and modelling are fantastic and the clouds in the bg look great.
I dig those models! Looks as if they were inspired by the great Sbleci. Superb texturing as well.

A beautiful scene!
Have to give it an "excellent" but would still like to know what lives in those little houses(?).
what an eye for detail you have amazing quality wow
Wow woodhurst, you rock! This image is exceptional. So full of artistic merit. I love it. Only thing I'm not 100% on is the grass. Other than that, awesome.
This is really cool. I like the pov and the sky is awesome. The little house does remind me of sbleci's stuff. Excellent job.
You are quite talented and this does remind me of the little huts in Riven, and the strings of light connected to the Christmas tree are very humorous! Great artistry and image in Bryce :)

You have really created one heck of a masterpiece. Your creativity astounds and ability to achieve impresses. This piece is phenomenal in all aspects. I hope to see this in the TOP 20 for quite a while. Congrats on such a fine piece of imagination.
As I big fan of Riven (the best game I've ever played) and Sbleci's work... what I could say... Really excellent! Great modeling, super coloring (I love it!) and "all above". I know my comment is not unique ;) Thanks. :) Mirek__+v
Very surreal and very well done. I'd like to see this from further away, pull back the camera a bit. Also, perhaps the sea could be a bit more distingt?
