Hmm . . . I could apply a bump map to a height field. . .that would probably
work out best in this case for me I think.

It was rather strange that your picture
(http://www2.altnews.com.au/povlab/povlabdir/month/garden.jpg, again) didn't get much
more comments when its URL was posted (I'm also guilty of that of course since I
rarely
comment on pics). There was a lot to wonder about in it (the general composition, the
sky, the textures, the trees, the rain...) and it passed by almost unnoticed. Perhaps
it
is that the best pictures doesn't need to be commented on since there's little room
left
for criticism or improvement. Or perhaps it is just the imprevisible chaotic way of
the
newsgroups. Anyway I did remember this picture !

I have a mental image of this so I just think of it again whenever it is
brought up. If I recall correctly there were several comments made about
it before, constructive criticism and good old fashioned admiration.
I just now went to see it for real again; it is composed nicely I think.
The fence or gate isn't quite right due to the lack of hinges if a gate
afterall or the central post being divided yet not separated enough if,
once again intended to be a gate (think this is observer specific, since
there does appear to be some sort of "hinge" points and a tightly fitting
gate is possible). Entirely passable of course if a fence only. The rain
had gotten a bit of the "jaggies" in places, but overall looks okay
despite a noticable lack of denser rain drops with distance or rather
obscuring "fogginess". I'm sure all this has been said and done before
though, so I'll move on. But first I'll say, a fine looking picture, Marco
S.

wallpaper for a number of weeks).   :-)

gate... i
don't remember about  the presence of hinges.... you have created big doubts in my
mind...
;)

Thx for comments, Bob!

Wow!  :))
Thinks that my actual desktop is the first pic i have made with Terragen... and it's
so
relaxing that sometimes i find myself sleeping and "ronfing" in front of my PC at
work!
Ehehehehe!  ;)
In those cases i should put an advise like "Genius at work!"  :PPPP

Well maybe I'm embellishing about those long ago replies. Seems to me I
read many of them and thought I must have said something back then too.
Would be strange had there not been many messages because my memory of it
says otherwise. By now I'm thinking "Are we talking about the same
thing?". Or maybe this new thread posting of the URL to the picture is
only deja vu.

You're not embellishing. You were one of the 3 people who commented or asked
questions about it !
