The Border of the Shire

Member : lequenne

Image description
Once you cross the border of the Shire, you enter the unknown. Nobody but strangers. Nothing but wilderness.

Description of how this image was created
Height field created with L3DT, Fractal trees original source code from Mr Esculier (math description), but deeply modified to add leaves and more random. The herbs are coming from Oyonale, with modified textures. I missed time to fine tune the transparency of the tree's leaves. I also wanted to add some media to make light go through the leaves, but the rendering was so solw, that i couldn't get it.

1.   25-02-2008 The trees are over-simple (hard angles, basic bark pattern) compared with the "herbs". The sky is plain - a view of the barren mountains in the East would have worked bettter. Nit-pick: this looks like the last pleasant area before the wilderness starts
