I just wanted to quickly post the latest version of my Myst-like (well,
supposedly) scene. In this one, I have been working on the copper
texture so that it retains the level of highlighting that makes it
interesting, while at the same time looking more "sea-tarnished," if
that is such a thing.
I added in some bridges, but I am deeply dissatisfied with them. I'm
wondering if the structures should not be a combination of copper and a
sort of cream-colored masonry ... And if the bridges should be the
same. Maybe arched. I don't know.

There is such a thing... and it looks like this... :-)

That copper looks very nice and credible, but still a bit too new for
something that was on the sea for years. The proportions seem still
strange, like the mountain being too small in comparison with the metal
structures...

Thanks. Yes, after seeing Oskar's texture, I have realized that the
copper is not really corroded enough to look "realistic." Still, I
don't know if I will change it too much, because I like the way it
looks! And that is not a mountain. It's a rock!
I guess I still have a lot of work to do. :)

IMHO, I think the copper is beautiful. Admittedly, it might not be weather
worn, but if you don't use it in this image, use it in something!

What about some tunnels through the rock so's we can get around without
having to wade? ;-)
Looks great!

Something about the island or rock's scale looks wrong. the building
structure looks really good though.

I think it's that the rock is too smooth - not enough detail. There's
lots of great detail in the domes, so the scale looks appropriate for
them. But the rock has a much differense sense of scale (to me) because
the detail level isn't the same.

Now this is a real problem. The texture of the rock is created using a
normal_map of granite textures scaled in different ways to give it that
"stretched lava" look. If the texture were smaller, you would be able
to see that the rock is a fairly low-res height field.

Try adding a texture on top of that...?
