Description
Skeleton line based arrays used for fence posts and Tel poles. Rail line is a road with texture map and bump map and a opacity map to allow the edges to blend with the grass and ground. Lots of flip boards used for background trees and other plants to reduce render time.
Original image rendered at 4000 pixels wide for a print based job, about 9 hours render time.
Thanks for looking.

This is stunning! All the details...great! I love how you blended the tracks with the edge of the grass. That sky came out beautiful as well. I own worldbuilder as well, but have been too afraid to use it..lol..then I ended up losing it in my recent move. :(

This looks great. I like the cows, they look very natural in this scene, maybe the second oak should be a "leaf tree" too, but on the other hand if you render that big you have priorities.

Wow. Very nice image indeed. I agree with Alfons on the second oak, it might be better to use the leaf version. But still...picture is quite impressive.

Excellent work!!! I like the sky, the animals, the tracks, etc... probably you spend much time for this piece of art.

This is a great image ! Some things already have been said, except one thing and that is about the lighting (and right values for the photometry of the objects), I think that is very important and here a job well done. It gives the whole image its atmosphere (look for instance at the cows on the right !).

Thanks very much for comments, its always good to get feedback. I agree with the comments on the 2nd oak, and thats my only regret on this image. Originally I had 2 leaf versions in the field, but the rendering time went right up. I think a high res flipboard would have been better here. As ericarts mentioned, its the lighting that is important, and its here I spent a lot of time getting it right. I have also found that adding "RGB Photometry" to flip boards can help blend them in to scenes very well. You can change the colours on this, to match the rest of the scene. Re the cows. I spent a entire day armed with a digital camera tring to find a field full of cows that looked like they would make good flipboards. I now have a very nice cow libray. The only thing is, I have been asked to do a similiar scene with sheep, so its out again tomorrow to try and find some sheep to photograph.

If I understand it correctly, you generated the poles and the fence using those scripts in the lscripts.odb? I am speechless. Please accept my compliments! --Igor

I really like the mood this image sets...Top notch image although Like has already been mentioned I think that one three could have made the image a tad better if it was a leaf tree. Nice work though Capt....i love your art.
