Okay, I completely changed the POV and did the mist better. I have tried to add some trees for interest but I don't know if I'm happy with them. It is really hard to place them just right. I tried the snap to land and all that, but it just doesn't work on this mountain. I only added a few trees to see what it would look like. What do you think? Should I continue with the trees, and if so, what does it need? A thick cluster of trees or scattered trees all over? Any suggestions and critiques always welcome. :)

When I snap trees to land, I find myself having to lower them en masse into the ground just a bit more; Bryce seems to want to leave the roots exposed, and the profile looks unnatural. Maybe if you tried that, you'd be happier with the trees. It's also evident that you've got a single line of trees, or close to it, and it seems to my eye that your tree trunks should be in front of the branches of trees further down the back slope of the mountain. Does that make sense? I can't think of a better way to word it. Long story short, more trees! ;)

wow...i mean...just...wow.

Are those trees over there to the left? Might be a nice effect...

The mist works really well. The texture on the mountains is a bit unconvincing IMHO. It's like a texture you'd find on a horizontal surface, rather than on vertical and sloped surfaces. Also, it doesn't look like it would support much growth, particularly of leafy trees. HOw about making the texture more varied, height- and slope-influenced? And maybe scrubby trees in areas where pockets of earth might have gathered?

I love the mist effect...way better than anything I've gotten so far. I agree that the mountain texture doesn't look like it would support trees. It looks like a huge rock to me. Nice texture, just out of place on a mountain. I like the idea of having a lone tree (or two or three) silhouetted against the sky and you've done well with that. I'd definitely play with the mountain texture and try to get something that's not so, well, uniform. This is probably what pogmahone means, but I think the texture on the background layer of mountains would be ok to leave as is, but the foreground, being lower in elevation, could be more vegetated. You could probably get by with some of those suggested small scrubby trees there too. Over all, I really, really like this! :o)

Thanks for all your feedback. I do agree with the texture not being convincing and I know exactly what you mean. This a completely different angle of the mountain than I began with and the texture just doesn't cut it any more. I don't know how to layer the textures or make a different one in the closer part than in the back since it is one big terrain. Any suggestions or tips on how to do that? I will try some different things and see what I come up with. Thanks again for the great feedback! Exactly what I needed! :)

Okay, I have been messing with the texture for the mountain all day and I can't figure out what is wrong with it. I can't get the small "mounds" in front to be clear. I also have a new texture with more dirt in it instead of rock. Does anyone know of any good tutorials or am I just missing something simple?
