Hey, I like your trees! How did you create them?
Congrats,
Fernando.

So now I'm confused... Is it you or your sister in the photo? And if
it's you, I don't think my sister is all that interested in meeting you.

It looks good and i like to especially point out the texturing of the
window frame where you did a much better job than various IRTC entries i
have seen in the past...
The trees could vary a bit more from the standard maketree samples and the
contrast between light and shadow should be stronger.

In this case you maybe should have put your picture in that frame.

Please excuse me if my comment doesn't qualify, but all I can think of
when I look at your image is how sad it makes me feel. Not much help,
am I? :)

now cut that out! ;-) and yes! you are confused, cuz thats not my
sister or me in the picture. she's a chat friend from the internet.
i think we need to concentrate more on my image and less on my
sister. NO! wait! not MY sister... your sister! no, wait... its not
your sister either! thats not what i meant! oh, heck with it! ;-)

hi fernando,
the trees and grass are straight out of gilles's tree and grass
include files. i was lazy and merely tiled a patch of grass he
supplied as an example, causing the "row" effect.
both of his include files are superb. gilles is both an excellent
artist and a talented programmer.
thanks, miker

hi chris,
thanks for your comments.
i went thru every wood texture in the standard wood include file
and chose that one. i thought i'd tell you which one it is but my
files are calling it "auto_name_no_1". i don't know why it ended
up with a name like that.
the fact that the standard wood textures are axis-sensitive is
something i learned by lurking in the newbie group.
i played with developing textures in moray's excellent texture
editor. in one of my first newbie posts about a search for a
texture, someone made the remark, "don't use ready-made
textures. its always best to make them yourself." so i worked
at it long enough to believe that textures are very, very difficult
to do well.
thanks again, miker

hi peter,
i can understand your feeling. i think its pretty darned sad myself.
hahaha.
because it was my first image, i've got tons of time in it. i have
mixed feelings about abandoning it in the condition its in, but i'm
burnt out on it. i need to move on for now. i'm saving everybody's
comments, though. after giving it a rest, i hope to come back and
clean it up.
thanks, miker

The trees and sky look good, and I like the window frame.
I think that using the alphabet blocks is a bit over the top
for this scene, the words would look good carved into the
table roughly or written in condensation on the window.
A great first scene, you can be proud of it, I look forward
to seeing your work in the future.

I understand about first images.
You might consider a few things, though you suggested not commenting in some excellent
directions.
1) Adding glass would add to the realism.
2) Decrease the grass elements by bunching them up tighter close to the house, and
then add a turbulated texture beyond that in the
same color. This would help preserve the impression that grass covered the view,
without increasing the render time dramatically.
3) Add a surface normal to the walls and counter/desk surface.
4) Use an area light.
5) Render with radiosity and use the 'normal on' statement.
For a first post you have created quite a scene and it came off very well!
Grim
