Description

I believe I can officially call this The Render That Took Forever And A Day! When I was first going to render this image, it got 107 hours in (71% done), and then I had to restart my computer (long story). I then started again, this time with a lower quality, and it took only 61 hours! I still have a very high quality render going on another computer, so in 260 hours, when it's finished, I'll re-upload it over this lower-quality image. My actual goal for this image was quite different than this. It was originally going to be more of an on-land setting, but after working with it for a day or so, it became clear that the angle I wanted was completely impossible. That is why I decided on this! I do hope you like it!

nice scene, maybe you could make it less complex by using alpha planes.

I like it. Well worth the render time to do it high quality. I'm anxious to see the hq one, although I really can't see anything wrong with this one.

Thank you all! :) Innerdreams - I thought about that, but decided to go with the real meshes instead because 1) I wanted that genuine, volumetric light, and 2) I'm stubborn! Thanks, Lin, I'm looking forward to the HQ one too! ;) ~Aaron

I like this very much; did you use terrains to make the clouds? They came out great.

The clouds are wonderful, how ever did you do them?

Thanks a lot! The clouds were made by putting together many, many little spheres. I then started with the standard cloud material, and tweaked it until it looks like it does now! ~Aaron
