Description

I spent a lot of time working on the surfacing of this piece--and especially the water, trying to make it look realistic. Feel free to let me know what you think! Thanks for looking! :) (nov/dec challenge terrain--it's such a great one, I had to keep playing with it!)

This is quite good. I absolutely love the ice on the fringes of the water. I think it is great as is, but, if I were to suggest something, it would only be one thing: If you're in the mood to play some more, if you tweak the settings on your snow surfaces and children so that surfaces that are approaching level get more density, you'd have snow covering the tops of the peaks and so forth. I've spent fun-filled hours myself. Just a thought. Either way, it's great.

truly amazing render. Lighting is superb. only comment for improvement would be to add a few more specular highlights in the reflections off the water. unless there are no subsurface perturbations and no wind at all, the surface of the water would not be completely flat, therefore any ripples would reflect sky/sunlight and give some local texture to the surface in more places than just the lower right hand corner. any of the places where the light is hitting along that right edge of the stream should have similar "glints." this will help differentiate what part of the surface texture of the stream is a reflection of the texture of the mountains and which part is the rippling of the water. (hope that makes sense) remember: the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. perhaps visualizing what the bottom looks like: where there are dips, rises, rocks, gravel, etc. would help determine where the disturbances should be?? just IMHO.

Agree with waldomac on the snow surfacing. I do really like your ice forming along the shoreline. Render has an excellent POV and one can sense the bone chilling cold.
