Yes the initial render is more punshy. I prefer the first one.

very nice!
I don't like so much that rounded rocks in the lower center.

We nee rt gpu displacements.

Ok, I've replaced the first image with the intermediate version, less contrast but still that deep and dramatic atmosphere

paquito: Well, very simple to combine the images, I render one image with HDR, one with Sunlight and I simply use Gimp with one image per layer and playing with the alpha slider to let the background image overlaping the foreground one until the result is what I expect, I also use the eraser to increase the transparency in some parts. Nothing special as you may guess.

gabrielefx:Yep, displacement would be really welcome

Amazing renders, man!

beautiful renders as usual mate !!!

Hi,

Just added a new image with some water

I think its looks excellent!

my only criticism is that I think the rock texture has too much contrast in it - I often see renderings where this is the case, I believe its because of a 'double' up' in shadows by having a photo-texture already with shadowing, being shadowed again in rendering when it is used as a bump/displacement map or displaced mesh. IMO.

Cheers,
Jonathan.

Hi,

Just added two more images ...



jmfowler:Well, the texture I used was quite neutral with few shadows but that's true that sometimes such textures may create weird effect.

great, do you create the water with blender?

Nothing special for the water, simply a normal map in Octane, no displace.
