Description

So, again, following a David Brinnen YouTube video, this one on making a forest. I tried rendering this as regular but too pixelated. I then rendered as premium (think 16 rays and 4 max depth) and it was so bad it looked like it hadn't finished rendering but I got the end screen. Took a few hours. I then went with super fine. Oh my, 8 hours to render. Ok, so let's add a plane. I don't have one...darn. Ok, let's add a helicopter or stingray. The textures looked awful. Ok, let's add some clouds. Really slowed the render time even more. I give up. This is my bare bones attempt at a forest. Not going happen again if I don't have to. Why am I posting such a boring picture? Because it took 8 hours to render and I'm not wasting that time. Think that I'll play Tomb Raider for a while and take a break.

Nevertheless, it came out very nice. Are you sure you have not set render priority to low? I think 8 hours are a bit excessive. Nevertheless, the result is worth it and I don't find it boring.

That is so nice to say Horo, thank you. It really was a difficult one to do. The terrain that makes the trees had to be 2048 so that I got trees and not flat spots that looked like snow. This is the best I could do. I sunk the terrain a bit because the trees took over the scene. Priority was on normal. When I used Premium I had blurry reflections and blurry transmission on. Would that have caused the image to look bad? The distant water was full of noise when the premium finished.
