Hi all!
The latest version of the image. I'm unsure if I really want to go ahead and
add some clouds, mainly because the landscape already has much white and
extra clouds would subtract the nice blue-white-contrast.
I'm thinking about pulling the distant lone tree with the fence a little
closer, there's still quite a gap between the forest and the fence. I'll
also need to add some more fine-detail to the main heightfield to avoid the
plain white areas, that just look's awful.
Tried putting some mountains at the horizon, but that just looked
ridiculously overloaded.
Suggestions and comments welcome, as always! :-)
Regards,
Tim

Looks great. A few points:
- It seems strange that there's so many bushes just outside of the forest
and just inside the forest there's nothing on the ground.
- The poles making up the fence look pretty bendy.
- I would agree that you should change the fence's position; why would
someone's property end 30 feet before the forest begins? It just seems
strangely placed.
- The snow looks pretty shallow, so I suggest putting occasional patches of
grass blades sticking above the snow, and maybe rocks or leaves.

Thank you.

On the to-do list. :-)

Yup, old and worn out. Maybe a little too much, I'll experiment some more.

Maybe because he wasn't allowed to buy more? ;-) I won't go ahead and fit
the fence along the curve of the forest though...

Might be a possibility... I'll look into that.
Thanks for the suggestions!

Coming along very nicely.
I think the distant lone tree is OK where it is.
What about a roadway between the fence & forest to fill in the gap, or maybe
a small lake or pond.

If you want some clouds, I think they should be wispy, almost transparent.
Contrary to Slime, I see no problem with the proximity of the fence and
the forest, I've seen similar placement a few times. Maybe the owner of
the fenced terrain used the trees from the gap to build the fence, or to
heat his home...
Some natural forests have virtualy no undergrowth or bushes under the
trees, while having bushes near the edges. Just have the bushes closer
to the trees would be OK.

I don't think it's that they are too bent, maybe just a little, but that
they are too regular. Each section of the fence is too similar to the
once before it, creating the look of a regular pattern off into the
distance. You might want to have some missing cross pieces in some
sections and have others lying on the ground. But maybe that's just my
own taste?

Yeah I don't think it would look good with the fence right up against
for forest, even if it is realistic.

I like it.
Bushes and trees.
Its about competition for light. So you see a gradient from short to tall -
very rarely a step. And not so regular.
Best.

I was thinking about a road, or at least some tracks showing that a road
should be there.

Thanks for the suggestions. Maybe I'll introduce some more randomness in the
positioning and placing of the bushes, as well as moving some of them more
into the forest. A little more variation in scale might be useful as well.
Regards,
Tim
