I put the camera somewhere more interesting, and tweaked the lighting and
atmosphere a bit. Though this much higher-res image shows up some errors in
the clouds. Also this view shows some obvious levitating rocks, and I'm not
so fond of the boring grey rock texture...
Anyway, still looks pretty dramatic so I thought I'd show it :)
I'm probably going to use it as a backdrop for some 2D stuff in photoshop,
with some figures on the overhang on the left.

It's marvellous. Looks both natural and fantastic. Could be interesting
to model some buildings to match the terrain of the people who live there :)
I don't think the levitating rocks (or otherwise impossible (?) stoneforms)
detract from the image one bit, but then I'm pre-conditioned by
Roger Dean's art ^^

That part would be good for the sea - foam flying through the air

I would make the clouds look like something from "the Grinch" to go with the
rest of the scene... =;-]

Aah! Another Roger Dean fan!! :-)
Tek, your image is developing well! The rock texture could be a bit more
complex, especially in the foreground, and the clouds show a problem, but
with the additions you want to make it will be awesome.

Yes, the sea already has it, that's why my rocks have it.

I was definitely thinking more lord of the rings but I see what you mean :)

tweaked!
Improved rock & grass texture so the middle distance looks less flat and
boring, although perhaps now too dark. And way better clouds, though still
some striped artefacts (despite intervals=4).

LOL He was the main reason for me to buy some early YES and Steve Howe LP's
(I miss 30cm sleeves)

Somehow I like this closeup less than the original. Some curves
are too smooth and mathematical-looking in order to look natural,
and they break the believability of the image somehow.
The banding in the clouds isn't helping either.

nice surreal appeal ...
it looks like your using media clouds based on df3 data (banding/cell
strukture). Instead of increasing the resolution of the df3 data you may
add some turbulence *after* importing the density file. Will slow down
the render process slightly but you get rid of the cell strukture, which
is an inherent problem of density files.
