Oooo NICE Is the green lighting coming from refraction or do you have a green light back there?

the green is the light coming through the leaves I would have to say. But I did fake the caustics on the tree bark in the foreground with a projector light.

[Trapezium]

Only crits are that it's a little unnatural the way that those middle trunks terminate. You should stretch them off frame. Also the ground leaves look so nice and random but the displacement looks almost too smooth.

Would be really cool to see some character animated through this scene

I also like that, if you look close enough, it's somewhat obvious the trees share the same texture but you really can't tell with that lighting

I'm gonna upload another version at some point, and some other options...

[dejaVu]

nice image.
love the detail and displacement on the surfaces.
how long did it take to render? and can you post a wireframe.

thanks

[skogskalle]

are you telling me this is not a photo? holy crap!

id love to see some wires and stuff for this one... it looks mighty realistic

[DaForce]

holy farq

That awesome.

Need wireframe

Even the forest floor looks great!!!!

[geoff]

excellent....
I love this
My only minor gripe is basically what trapezium said.
Need some narly roots or something on one of the trunks.

[natty]

Superb work .. !! ... i would love to see it with some volume light ..

[maroomari]

Ok, I guess I have to post a wireframe then.
The only thing about the trunks is that they all end in plants so I'm not sure you would see anything gnarly.
Rendering took I think 15-20 minutes.
settings: irradience, -5, -3
20 hemisphericals
lightmap 500

Thats is awesome. It looks great!

Welcome to the forum btw- nice to see another person living in Boston using Vray. Did you change your name from 'lgrohs' to 'maroomari' or is there multiple people working on this image?

[room217]

umm, ok... holly crap... wtf... WOW

thats just incredible. I love nature renderings too.

I second, or third, the request for wireframe

Post more!

[maroomari]

actually lon is another guy that I work with, and I posted under his account because mine wasn't working. I'll get a wireframe for you guys tonight when I get home from work. thanks for the comments, there will definitely be more images to come. these images are fun to work on.
