This is a first wip for a couple of scenes I have in mind.
The sky was fist rendered alone as an exr image, using media code by Abe
Madey. In the scene, this exr image was included as hdri probe; a sun was
added at the appropriate place; landscape elements added too; radiosity
brightness was scaled down to 0.5; water is just a blue plane and the object
is a placeholder; trees by POV-Tree and grass patches by Scott.
I use a ground fog here. I already experimented with a media, but it is
going to be difficult to emulate this fog correctly. Any idea what I should
look at particularly?

All the best,

I have no ideas, but I find the scene very melancholy.
Ergo, I like it!

A Monolith?
Very nice, I look forward to seeing the next version.

Hehe... Yes, that would be very close to one of the scenes I have in mind
indeed, with a number of adaptations. The other scene will have a different
kind of object :-)

For those of you with a Monolithic obsession, this is for you :-)
Pylons by somebody I have been unable to identify (2002); city macro by Mike
Williams; grasstex macro by Rune Johansen.

A step closer to completion. Still work to do on fences and enclosures
and... see if I can get some media right for this image.

Arrg! It is no longer a monolith but a standing stone. I might have to
re-evaluate my scoring ;)
Thanks for the mention BTW :)

Life is tough ;-)
The monolith is not really filling the bill in my perception of this scene,
and the one that will be the *mirror* so to speak of this.

Well I'm glad that you used the monolith in the Tina Chep. It could have
been a lost scene from 2001. :D

Indeed. In any case, I keep the monolith option available in my scene. Just
a matter of switches.

Ah! How would you write “For statistical use only” in het Nederlands? It
is for a label in a program and I don’t trust Bablefish to give anything
other than a literal translation.

I would say: "Uitsluitend voor statistisch gebruik" But maybe there exists
a truly official expression for it of which I am not aware. However, this
seems to cover the bill I believe.

The woman is about twelve years old, so she will not succeed... But yes, it
seems she has mischief in mind.

Obelix is a menhir (standing stone) carver who carries them in his hands
for deliveries.
He would barely notice what that lady is doing, but would gladly play
the game.

Just a first, wild *shot*, and you can say what you want, but I like this
impressionistic render :-)
Using Edouard's 35mm camera macro.

Yes, that's a nice effect Thomas, I like this!
I'm *really* going to have to start toying with some of Edouard's macros, I'm
missing out...

I have been raving for quite some time about photography and focal blur and
such, never remembering those perfect little macros to just do what I rave
about. Time has come I think to amend that. :-)

Me too, and just as a side note: meanwhile I do always use focal blur
even when there is in fact no blurring visible at all (by using very
small aperture) because compared to high quality AA settings focal blur
gives better results in less time. Especially things like the wires in
your image will even with insane AA settings render with 'gaps' but with
fairly moderate FB settings they will show as thin lines as they should.
And for the (non-)parallel shadows. In the TC entry it looked to me like
the shadow lines are merging at a point approximately at the tree line,
and this seems too close and thus non-parallel shadows, but after
thinking about it this might be an illusion and the problem seems to be
(especially given the sun size) there should be no sharp shadows from
the tree tops at all. In this respect your wip 3 shot looks perfect to
me. But I did like the calm sky from your TC entry better than the more
dramatic one you did make with Terragen - but thats just me ;)

I agree, as I slowly begin to realize the implications of focal blur. Call
me stupid, but I always need *some* time to adjust to a new world vision
:-)
That said, I am currently experimenting with the different cameras and
settings, and I am curious to see how the power lines are going to show in
particular. Render time is certainly not prohibitive in relation to aa.

Yes, I know what you mean. The sharp tree shadows in my first wip are mainly
due to the use of a point light. An area light should replace it of course.
