MegaPov 1.2.1 for motion blur

The ground looks too much like carpet.
Not sure what to do about that.

The trees are all one "species" and colors, so I want to make some more variety
there.

The clouds are media and really slow.

Looking for improvement!

It looks like it is off to a very good start.  You may want to consider using
radiosity or increasing the ambient light so that the shadows on the small
island are not so dark.  The clouds look pretty good, but I think increasing
the samples would improve them.

Of course, both of these recommendations will result in an increased rendering
time.

A little trick I learned from Hildur Kolbrun: render the sky separately with 
a spherical camera, and map the result on a sphere in this scene. At least 
it will speed up this one. Also, using megapov or version 3.7, you can 
render the sky in .hdr, respectively .exr format and render the landscape 
with hdri.

I shall try it. I was under the impression radiosity was better suited for
indoor scenes...

OK, I will try that...

Very cool ideas! I shall try them.
Never tried hdri, I'm anxious now!
Thanks for you help...

Radiosity can work great for outdoor scenes. It's just the settings that are 
good for indoor may not correct for outdoor.
Indoor, you often need two or tree bounces, while outdoor, one is usualy enough 
for example.
