I got curious the other day as to what would happen if I told everybody I uploaded a picture. I am pretty sure most you saw it, The Hunt. I spent a little over an hour on it, probably a tenth of what I spent on the previous post, putting in default terrains with default mats until most of the default ground wasn't flat. The semitransparent ship is the only one with a tweaked default mat and I even did more tweaking in Photoshop. The lense flare is the only other postwork but I think it adds a lot to the image. In Stage Two I spent 1 hour in Terragen on an image and notified everyone in the Terragen forum about my new image. That was a pretty well spent hour because I knew exactly what I wanted the image to look like when I made it, unlike "The Hunt". Stage Three came up with the big Hot 20 controversy. I threw together a somewhat shiny sphere over water with a couple of bad clouds and a couple terrains reflected in the sphere. It probably took as long to render on premium as it did to make it, not long. I was really curious to see if it would get in the Hot 20. It didn't, but it got a more viewings than many of my other images. What I learned is that if you tell people, they will be more likely to look. "The Hunt" has the second highest number of viewings in my gallery. The number of viewings for my Terragen image were higher than normal, too. The thing that really interested me was that all three of my images got "Excellent"s. I actually kind of like them, except for the quickie. That one is getting deleted from the gallery as soon as I'm done writing this. I thank you for the comments, even though I threw together the images the time limit I placed on my self helped me learn new things. That's what this place is all about. Thank you.
