Description
I gave Ryan Archer’s ‘Golden Forest’ tutorial a try; and, must say that it was a very informative lesson. I learned a number of techniques I wasn’t aware of. I also included his ‘Dirt and Soil Pack’ in this scene available at the NWDA site: ( http://www.nwdanet.com/home ) where his Golden Forest tutorial is also available. You can also get the tutorial at Ryan’s site: http://www.archer-designs.com/ .
Some of the things I had to do differently were to eliminate the four populations of grasses suggested in the tutorial. Reason: several trace ray and populator errors. Additionally, I had to reduce the suggested rendered image size from 1600 x 1000 to 1280 x 800 in order to get a successful render. The prime reason for these issues is probably because I’m running a 32 bit OS with 4 GB of RAM and a quad-core processor. It was suggested that a 64 bit OS might eliminate the problem issues. I had also been informed that a 32 bit OS can handle up to 4GB of ram (usually 256-512MB are used by video which gives you 3.5-3.7GB) while a 64bit OS can go up to 8GB. Perhaps these are specific limitations of Terragen 2 – not sure.
The trees include three different populations of Walli’s pines. The fourth tree/bush includes the ‘Pinus Negra’ which is the lighter colored plant in the scene.

Excellent Bob, and so reminiscent of the woods I have seen, both here in NY and in PA... the early morn light filtering through gives it incredible realism. Excellent POV, those trees are superb... Love this one perhaps of all of yours as woods are in my heart and soul...
