Forest on the Hills
Worked on this for a few days, did more than what I could do with my previous nature scenes with new techniques I have learned, and some optimisation tricks. Too bad I still haven't learned to create a good title!
Actual Final, mist reduced - most people seemed to prefer this render.
1st Render (Barebones Concept)
2nd Render
3rd Render
4th Render
5th Render, overhauled the scene slightly.
6th Render, made it composition-ally better, and separated foreground from background.
7th Render, added a background, needs some work but I like how it is looking.
8th Render, basically altering the trees.
9th Render, removed sun beams and replaced with a misty effect which leaves the foreground contrast intact. More tree tweaks.
10th Render, reduced rock repetition and fixed trees growing out of rocks.
"Finished" Image, same as 10th render with reduced mist.
