Do you reckon this is OK now? All bryce, no imports except the poser figs (obviously) and all mats are from the dte except for the leaves on the front tree, which I was trying to make into a weeping willow, not too succesfully. Tweaked levels slightly in PS other than that no postwork.

Looks great !

Very nice!

Looks very very good! The waterfall is fabulous.

Yes, you`ve got the waterfall great. If I could nitpick? I wonder at the scale of the first two figures compared to the obviously mature, and therefore probably large, tree at left. I do like the figures, though. They are found almost as a surprise, with the river being the main focus, only seen when you look into the picture. I would just make the tree larger. Nice job.

Very very nice! I agree about the tree, it looks like its an old and very large tree. Love the touch of lavendar(hope I got that right) maybe its a different plant where you are from. But its a beautiful touch and that waterfall came out wonderful!

Nice. Very Nice. I'm a professional photog by day and I love waterfalls. If you could see the inside of this shack i call a home you would know how impressed I am by the waterfall rendering. love it.

Wow, i love it. Go with the tree advice and I do hope that there is a larger version of the image to come.

Well I made the tree a tad bigger. Can't make it too big it obscures too much. Also made the figs a tad smaller. Put a larger version in the gallery. This image is really pushing my poor old pc. Was surprised to find out I have a total of 36 terrains, and 4 of those for the waterfalls themselves, are at massive res. Also 30 trees, and high poly trees at that with lots of little leaves. In fact I can't save the merged file, have to leave it as two and merge and just save the image.

It's all about optimizing, Chohole! Considering the low resolution of the final image, you could, for example, get by without using super-high resolution terrains. Also, looking at the image, it calls for 6 land terrains. There are technical things aside, of course, but learning how to make a terrain do different things in different areas will lower your poly count cosiderably. What need for merging the files? Why are there more than one file? Even my smallest PC, and Athlon 2000 with 512MB RAM, would have no problem processing the scene. Not bragging, just stating the facts... I'm thinking that it's the trees that are eating you up. For trees that far away, there is no need for hi-poly trees...
