Tim:
The barn looks much better. Looks like a couple of probs are around the
base of the tree and the cat, though.

As mentioned in my original post: the res for the foreground heightfield was
missed and kept at preview-resolution, which is one vertex per POV-Unit. If
you look at the former image, that one had 15 per unit, the final will have
probably 25 or so.

Mentioned that in the text accompanying the post ;-) : the resolution for
the foreground heightfield was missed and kept at preview res, which is one
vertex per POV unit. Final will of course have something closer to 30 or so,
the last update had 15.
> Nice scene though.
Thank you!

Thanks for all the feedback on various details, seems like I really can call
it a wrap. :-)
Regards,
Tim

Well, otherwise it wouldn't have been to visible, and who knows, maybe the
farmer is just inside, searching his cat? :-)

Nah, special gifts always stay unique... :-)

Nope, lost due to too low resolution. They'll be back in the final. Note
that the foreground heightfield is based upon a function which I scripted so
that I can just say: "make footprint there, there, and there, add some snow
there...". Later on, I decide the resolution for the heightfield. I keep it
low for fast previews (e.g. when testing the sky, or the barn in the
background), but put it higher on detailed runs. I forgot to set it higher
on this one.

I think this is great for the final version. The tweak to the fence helped,
I think. My only complaints would be that I don't like the barn color
(though it's better since it's not as distracting as the red), the shadows
in the forest seem a little too grey (maybe darken them?), and I'm not sure
why you reduced the moon brightness. But if you like it this way, keep it,
it's very good.
BTW, is this your POVCOMP WIP?

Hi Tim,
Perhaps because I have a very special relation to cats, but I find your
scene very appealing!
Excellent special gift....
Thomas
PS by the way, will you post your snow macro some day? Would be useful...

There's some fog in the scene to create some distant haze effect, and if
affects the forest, too, of course.

Nah, I think I'll up it a little again.
> BTW, is this your POVCOMP WIP?
Nope, just a christmas gift (now a little late) for a very good friend of
mine.

Yup. Once the image is rendered at 100dpi for print, I want to clean the
codes and release them. The snow macro is first on the to-do list, as
several have said that they're interested in them. :-)
