I was going to disagree about it being too dark but I think I know what you
mean. The sunlit part could be made more intense to match the bright sky,
in that way it might seem to relate to a darkened tunnel better.
I was also thinking that the waters color might do well with a change from
shallow to deep (in the distance).
It is a great rendering.

This looks excellent. I don't know what you're complaining about. If
anything, I would worry about that render time, but it seems to be worth
it... :)

I think i know what you mean, for the forground some rounder shapes
different from the sharp ridges of RMF would probably be better.

Exactly, the range of contrast in this one is quite low and the brightness
of the shadowed parts much more depends on the fog and other things than
on the light source.

Sounds like a good idea, i am already playing with a darker ground too.

Thanks, having to look at it for >70 hours probably makes it look worse
than it is. :-)

Thanks,
don't know 'riven', but i rarely know computer games at all, if it really
looks similar, a screenshot would be nice...

Thanks,
the main thing i'm complaining about is that i want to change things to
make it look better, but all changes tend to make it much slower - quite a
bad situation.

Don't we all...
There seems to be a repititive element in the four stones at the waterline
on the left. Each has the same funky light/dark patch at thenear end.
Looking closes, a similar sort of funkiness is happening on the next row up.
I don't know if it's a trick of the light (heh) or a glitch in your
randomization process, but you might want to play with that a bit.
Other than that, it looks excellent. The splotchy darness actually works
well for me, as there's reflections from the water.
