Just seeing how hard it is to do landscapes in Carrara. Composition needs playing with but its 12 midnight on Friday so no time to do such things now. It will be interesting to see any comments. Thanks for being so nice about my previous efforts. I think I need a rhododendron bush, behind the dog, anybody have one? The pine trees and the small birch are from Howie Farkes snow scene (downloadable from the Carrara Daz forum). I was surprised to learn that he used procedural textures on the trunks and branches. I have modified them slightly and used my own leaves. Pretty much everything else I made myself. Thanks Martin. Emulation is the sincerest flattery. Not sure where plagerisation fit in. Keith
