Zahnn's textures are used pretty much in everything in some shape or form combined with DTE. The flying creatures in the distance are just trees. I think I'd like them a bit less chaotic? What else should I improve here?

This is so cool looking. Really? flying trees? What a great special effect.

STUNNING! ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! I suggest changing the repetative texture over in the distance and also the top rock on which the creature is lying. it's just too... unrealistic. aside from that.... o_O awesome! Drac

i think the top of the rock is meant to look like a towel or cloth, isn't it? Looks awesome, i agree about the texture on the wall that looks like it's tiled or something, it's distracting from the really beautiful points.

Flat-out fantastic! I never, EVER, thought of using trees to simulate flocks of "flying creatures". It looks great! I watched a huge flock of starlings yesterday and they swarmed in just such patterns, as do bats. The whole scene is stunning and I think you made great choices.

Looks stunning to me too! 8)

I don't think you should change anything, I like the different textures on the rocks. This is a really neat pic! Lin

Fabulous, but it suffers from jpeg artifacting which is a shame...Have you got a jpg wizard? I have one for PSP7 which has all but eliminatid artifs' for my uploads...

Thanks everyone! In responce... Yep, that's supposed to be a blanket under the creature. I did a towel in Poser and it looks alot better, but for a bryce challenge I want to limit it to a bryce terrain. The towel texture, as well as the rocks and plants are all Zahnn's textures. I'll experiment with bump to see if I can get it to look more like a blanket Great call on the far wall. I'll try a few variations, as well as eliminating it all together. I purposely used a very low quality compression to post to the forum, didnt want a huge file. TheBryster, got a link to the wizard? I'd like to take a looksee. And finally, yes those are trees with the trunks invisible. This is can also be used for debri as well as a windblown effect, example, a fall picture with leaves blowing. Oh, and the creature's hair is a one-leafed palm tree lol. Thanks again for your input. What a great forum!

Wow! I'm impressed. Excellent artwork. beautifull composition and very nice textures. I agree with drac about the repetitive textures. I like the texture on the rock on wich the creature is lying though. Maybe the rock itself needs to be a little more eroded.

The colors are really nice too.

Nicely done. I'd agree about the blanket--it just doesn't seem to mesh well with the rest of the scene. But great work!

Wonderful idea using trees like this!

I love that creatures hair, I would never have thought it to be a leaf. Very creative. Would you mind telling me how you make the trunks invisible? Thanks. Angela

Ang25, in the treelab, click the edit button to edit the trunk's texture. Set the transparency to 100% and make sure it's set to "blend transparency".

cool thanks.
