Awesome! Am not familiar with truespace, but can recognise a work of love when I see it! :-)

Your talent is amazing! The forest looks so real, I've never use TrueSpace but I can tell a good work of art when I see it.

Excellent. I think you used the sweep thing? And also the background, is that a photo? Excellent work. Excellent.

I liked the way youve blended the foreground models with the image. Very good work!

only one mention of the awesome lighting...this kind of illumination is very hard to achieve...great work,the lil flowers and ferns in the foreground really make the image with the way they pick up off camera light,and this is before ts had IBL i believe,not sure as i use Imagine and my partner uses TS5,but he's not here to confirm that.

I think this is the best TS landscape scene I have seen. You really raised the bar with this one. I believe IBL came out in TS5 so you really did a great job on the lighting, not to mention everything else!

The response has been so good to this image I just thought I'd take a second and say THANKS to all. The embarrassing thing is that it was just a quick experiment! I wish I could say that I spent hours on lighting and such but the truth is I just added one infinite light at a very low angle, pointing to match sun in background. The blending was achieved by turning on a light fog and doing quick "area renders" until it mixed with top of foreground objects. A more refined version of this won runner up in Caligari's monthly contest and has gotten me three jobs so far. I also learned a valuable lesson here. The total time in vested in this image was less than 2 hrs including rendering! One of my other posts to Truespace Gallery has countless hours of work over 4 years time, 3 Truespace upgrades, 24 shadowcasting lights, Alpha channel tricks, high poly count and many items are textured using multiple images, hand drawn decals and the like. All that work and the image is basically panned by viewers! Talk about a sobering contrast. It just goes to show that graphics is a subjective thing (I never use the word art in ref to my own work, I am a "TechnoToolUser" nothing more). Thanks again viewers, Don Nelson aka thunderdon

I like the way you've made the foreground objects merge seemelessly with the photo background. Nice work.
