Sunken Castle of Canten

Zardon · Sep 28, 2003, 01:25 PM

Ive added a scenery section to www.zardon.net, its pretty bare atm with several pieces of work in progress, but ive added a nice little render of the sunken castle of Canten. visit here and click the image for a high res render, those on dial up might want to give this a miss, its a 3000 pixel render.

LOL... high res....you weren't kidding.. (3000x2250)... wow..... i love the fog and the water relections... Extremely real looking... Excellent depth..... one of the best yet...

The water looks amazing.

Killer work Zardon.

I can't decide what i like more; the sky or the water... they are both sweet....I really like the haze in the sky

.....well, i'm pretty confident it's not smog!

heat haze, was a killer to render... took hours.

Wouldn't doubt it... does the water relect the heat haze as well? (problably..right?... as that would be onother reason to take long)

yes, true, that image although looking quite simple from a laymans perspective has alot of reflections, clouding effects, soft focusing which immensely adds to render times.
