Thanks for sharing this very well done landscape Ron. I like the second image best.

Very spooky atmosphere Ron. the way you placed your signature in the image is perfect.

Interesting landscape, Ron...
Maybe a check of Alpha Brushes would obviate your need for PSP water...I agree a tool is a tool, but you can spot PSP effect, Bryce lighting, or Poser figures a long way away...
Don't let hesitation or impatience prevent new explorations...Usually the things you find hard are the most satisfying to achieve.

Ron,

This version kicks older ones. Great... Go and finish it!

Ron the 2nd one is great--the first,darker one suggests to me--a painter like Munch -not a huge amount but enough to evoke that recognition in my brain pan :tu:

[Ron Harris]

well tried to add some other elements in it but it started looking cheesy, ie an old boat anda dock...so I put some grasses in and changed the fog depth a little and readded the water and a stumpage and changed the lights..anyhoo..... :eek: :eek: http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/zbc_uploads/user_image-1011215627yjq.jpg

grrrrr...I would read the thread about baking after I did the one above...well I baked it and redid some of the fiber grass....that was a great mini tut....this final rendering is done is pure Z cept for just a tad bit of light and the sig...

Ron persistence really pays off. It is amazing how one tip can open up so much. This last image is very much better than the first.

[Ron Harris]

thnx yall for the wonderful comments...trust me, it looked alot better on my computer than it did here..eyeroll....I have been having calibration probs with my monitor..and fixed that tonight...If anyone has a voodoo III card, but all I had to do was use the factory default settings...grrr...something so easy to fix and it took me this long...hopefully the images will be a bit brighter now...thnx again for all the help, inspiration and compliments.. :tu: :tu: :tu:
