quite cool :) the thing that's truly awesome is the mountains in the distance. don't know how you did it, but the texture is fantastic :)

Neat work! I too love that distant mountain. Apart from the texture, it has a great sense of loomingness!!

SDL: Very nice Brycing!

I like how the render gives me the feeling of getting a cramp in my neck from looking up at something massive. Yup, "loomingness". AS

This is spectacular. I love the distant mountains too. It has a futuristic feel but the little boat makes it ancient too, very good work. 8)

THat's a great expression AS....very apt. Its how I feel as well, wonderful back mountains. Looking forward to seeing the finished render.

Aye, but what else should I add?!? The scene is still only around 100MB, so I have plenty of RAM-space to fill in...

Nice image! But, try to use some procedural texture on the background mountains, one with an altitude component.

The Towers look great, Maybe alittle foliage or rocks along the edge of the water where it meats the mountains? I cant believe its only 100 megs hehe Have a good one! Peace

I like the texture of the mountains and the sky Rocks! I like the towers too.

This is really awesome!! Maybe some low lying fog? maybe. . .

I love the pic, BUT (there's always a but..) Whilst the perspective is probably totally accurate, to me the result looks like something taken with a wide-angle camera. If that's the intended effect, then fine:-), but if its supposed to be a scene viewed by a "human eye", then the towers should be less inclined, closer to the perpendicular. (After all, the human mind isn't a camera - it "sees" things at it thinks it knows they are, not as they really are). As it is, I feel that the left-hand tower (particularly) is on the point of dropping off the cliff into the water. Just a suggestion. But I really do feel that "straightening" the towers would add a sense of .. errm.. realism? (or maybe menace..) I'd love to see the result of doing that, if only to prove me wrong! Cheers, Diolma

Aye, Diolma, your suggestions are great! But alas, I entirely intended for this scene to be viewed from a perspective angle, and I disagree with perpendicular realism. No buildings that you ever look at are truly perpendicular, perspective always skews this. If you're in Seattle and look up at the buildings, they always lean away, and this is the beauty of 3D graphics for me, to be able to capture perspective functions without resorting to rulers and drawing techniques... But, I do appreciate your input, my friend! I posted the finished image (finished? BAH!) in the galleries, and hope you like it anyway! Thanks for your critique...

I had been thinking that something flying in the sky would be a good addition and I like what you've done. But, my but is, those rock mound things on the shore line don't really look quite right to my eye. Maybe if there were more of them and a little bit smaller too it would be better. If your happy with it though Shadow don't mind me. 8) Catlin
