Can you please explain how you made that killer sky? I am dieing to know being somewhat new to c4d and all 8P

[harveyc]

I like the feel of the sky it's just what I have been working on
for Harvey crumpett short i am doing


nice work

[sanciok]

well clouds are just 2 planes, and the material is done just with a 2D noise in the alpha channel

I think the grass area is OK, awesome work so far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I played a bit with making landscape without using any plugins or thirparty software too, and i find your result very great !!

i love the sky / mountain part. and why did u say that "Grass shader sucks...." ? i dont think so. i think your grass rocks !

my only crit would be about the water part. it reminds a bit that the pic is CG, if u see what i mean. i guess it hard to make convincing water though, never tried.

anyway, my comment is bravo ! :applause:

EDIT : i forgot to ask u a question. how did u make the difference in the tip of the mountain ? did u apply/mix another material, or is it about light ?

Yes... u're right also water need more work....
For the tip of the mountain i applyed another material, with a distorted gradient on the alpha channel.

i just finished reading this discussion u mentionned, Kiwi.

1 : congrats for your landscape, its beautiful !
2 : thx for pointing out this thread, its very interesting, especially about the PS post-processing.

[kiwi]

Youre welcome :D



I dont want to hi jack Sancioks thread so I will just say the two thing that are the most easily fixed with a CG landscape,built in 3D mainly,is 1 to pull some saturation out of your colors after you are finished.And 2 if t does not look right to your eye something is not ok,as your brain has a huge storage bank of more landscapes and natural formations then we could ever imagine,and every CG pic is measured up against it :) ....kind of daunting really isnt it......I love a challenge :thumbsup:
