OMG, Nanny Ogg. Where's Casanunda? Just reading thru the DW novels again nowadays, this topic just made me smile. Very well caught pic in my opinion, juuuust a bit stiff. And I find the bumps a bit too much. But definitely, it's Nanny.

Really happy that you're joining in

[Sigmund Hentze]

Hi,

Saw this challenge and did a quick render in maya/vray. Nanny Ogg is taking her morning walk in the woods.

Would of been easier if we had 32 bit displacement maps, I had to guess alpha gain values for each displacment object. Also Vray didn't like the tangent normal maps you supplied. It was like it bumped the surface too much like you had used contrast on the map in photoshop. So it look like the surface was breaking. I fixed it by adding the background color ontop of the normal map in ps with 50%.

I would recommend exporting 32 bit displacement maps and use xNormal for your normal maps next time. Other than that it was a fun challenge

Thank you so much for your critique, I'm still getting it, so I was hoping someone would say what is wrong And thank you so much for participating. I see you added a couple of additions! Great work, I'm in love with it I'll be back on the 19th here to pick up all the entries and give them to the jury.

Best regards
Dmitrij
