Description

Something I've worked with for a little longer while now and then. It's still WIP in a way... I'll continue working with it when the right feeling comes ;) It's all modeled, textured and rendered in Imagine. Some compositioning and touching done in PS to cut the rendering times (some layers rendered separately for example, and some too straight edges disturbed for better look.) The technical idea with this one was to create a natural scene with no realword texturemaps. All the texturing is done with Imagines procedural textures, mostly RJJ's. This still needs some work...

Wow, that 's all I can say. the plants are gorgeous, the textures are gorgeous the models are perfect. One of the best imagine picture I ever seen so far. great job. just few questions: the plants seems very high in faces, how much memory you need to calculate this picture, how long to render, in trace ?

Hannu, this is amazing! Wonderful modeling and textures. Truly an impressive piece of work. Thank you very much.

Thanks :) Yes, the scene is quite heavy. That's the reason for rendering in layers. I really can't say how long it'd take to trace it all in once, tho I might give it a try. Another thing is that only the main layer with ground and water is rendered in whole. Everything else is rendered in smaller pieces. I started the whole scene from the ground. Rendered it, and started workgin from that, allways rendering the new areas what I changed. Think I've rendered the whole work many times over, but this was the only way I could do it. I had no sketch or anything else than the base idea of what I wanted to do at the beginning. Then it started to live it's own life, and grew up to this :)

Excellent! This is definitely one of the best images I have seen with Imagine and I am doubly impressed that you did all this using only procedural textures. The only thing I would say is that the scene is a bit 'flat'. I know you have gone for a dark, dreary image but I think a tweak using curves or levels (or a tweak to the lighting setup) would make it a lot punchier without losing the atmosphere. (looking at the histogram you are using using less than a third of the available contrast range)
