Absolutely beautiful image. Keep up the good work.

Hey Jeff It's a superb work I have seen sorry for late reply but I really like the ambiance the color of the view. Can you provide me the setting's of rendering and lighting you did in this.

***** :D impressive piece of work!

fantastic picture ...wow...hw can i recreate similar grass with mentalray

I really liked this image as like the first post it's like one of those days where there is clear bright sky then a huge storm cloud rolling in and you know its going to literraly chuck it down! great ambience. Regarding the colour map of the grass, I have been playing with this idea recently, how did you apply it while still retaining the specific colours and translucencies of the different vegetation? I may be overthinking this however!

oh yes, very nice work.

Greate work mate! Wonderful postprocessing! You deserve the award!

I wasn't sure whether to take this seriously, looking at the date of this post, but it seems real. So thanks a lot CG Architects for the flattering accolade. Regarding Ronen's comment, I can see your point. I still have the render passes for this, so I might actually have a go at working on another background sky. Brian: I used VrayScatter for the grass. It is made of five different objects (short grass, long grass, clover, daisies, weeds), with the distribution driven by B&W maps. There's a large colour map too, which covers the entire garden area, and is used to colorize the proxies so that they don't appear too uniform and repetitive.

Awesome! Anybody know how he created that cool vegetation/grass?

Hey!, great work!, great detail, and the grass... very nice!! Feels very strange to me, there is no whites or blacks in the picture...

Congratulations! :) I always enjoy the hard-work and the details in your images very much.

Superb.

Nice image!

fantastic image!

2 words - SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!! I love the tone of the image. It gives me that feeling you get just before the heavens open up and gives a huge downpour. Awesome A
