Thanks Horo
I don't know why you cannot see it. I can and so can Horo. Horo, any idea what is still wrong?
Spectaular funky abstract, Horo. And excellent terrain, textures, clouds and water.
Looks really good, Identifiant!
Very nice work, mermaid010.
I made two new renders from my latest abstract, with modified lens distortions and refraction index as well as different camera position(s).
I can see your image too
Thanks Hansmar, both variants are very nice, I'm more inclined to the darker one.
Hansmar - no, I have no idea why ed3D cannot see it. Perhaps it was meant that it is missed in the comment (forums/uploads/FileUpload/8d/d14f7717175f339516e8f600931ad5.jpg) which may point to the first attempt of your upload.
Now your two modified abstracts look also very nice and like mermaid I prefer the one with the higher contrast.
The terrain was self made and given a material combined from High Resolution Terrains 1 and High Resolution Terrains 2. In front of the camera the C_WarmRed filter from Lenses and Filters. Sky and ambient light by the ErmClouds08_SD HDRI from Environments - Inclement Weather and the key light by the sun. A mountainscape with gorges, valleys and spiky peaks.
And shows up - Fixed Thanx
Another excellent landscape Horo, beautifully done.
Thank you mermaid.
The terrain was self made and given a somewhat modified material from High Resolution Terrains 2. The pond is a 2D-Face with my own water material. Sky and ambient light by an HDRI from Gritstone Hills and the key light by the sun. A mountain scenery with a small pond.
A fantastic landscape, Horo, very realistic.
Experimenting with material options, two simple abstracts, I like these two out of 10 trials. The camera with the GWLens is within a sphere at the world center. After trying various options - the material for the 1st abstract is 60% Transparency, Reflection and Refraction, the backdrop is an Hdri from Deep Space 1. The 2nd one has 10% Diffusion, 50% Transparency, Reflection and Refraction and the backdrop is an Hdri from Hyper Texture Base.
mermaid - thank you. Two interesting experiments and very nice looking results.
Thanks Horo
Thanks Horo and mermaid010. And thanks for letting me know you can now see it ed3D.
Two great landscape renders, Horo, with beautiful textures.
Your two abstracts are fantastic, mermaid010. I like the dark one most, because it is rather mysterious.
I used the Tithe Barn, that was free for a while at DAZ together with a giant variant of a Genesis 3 male, a cat and some trees from the ecosystem/vegetation set by David B. And I created a terrain next to it. In the sky are some volumetric clouds. The lines of grass are made via the 'grass made from tree' method.
Hansmar - thank you. Very nicely done scene with the barn, a nice place to be, I think.
The three objects are from "Fifty Funky Shapes and Fifty Funky Metals" with my material. They stand on a self made Fading Disk. Light and background by the "Geo_grid3a" HDRI from "HDRI for Fun" (both available at Daz 3D) and some light by the sun. Three funky objects made with coloured metal.
Thanks Hansmar, very serene scene, nice grass.
Very nicely presented Funky Shapes Horo. I like how the center shape fits into the center of the backdrop, cool effect.
mermaid - thank you. Yes, after I noticed the spheric part on the background HDRI, I adjusted it and the centre object to fit together.
Very nicely done.
mermaid - thank you again.
A Soccer Ball sphere with the camera in the world centre and around the camera a torus with 5 bulges (from Bryce Installed Geometric and Misc) with self made materials. In front of the camera the GWL (gigantic wide-angle fisheye lens) from Lenses and Filters, here horizontal field of view 282°. Light and colour by the 5D-City HDRI (unpublished) and a bit of light and specularity by the sun. A ring with five bulges within a Soccer Ball.
Very nice abstract Horo. I find it a bit busy.
The island and lighting from Layered Skies, the boats are freebies.
mermaid - thank you. Indeed, I also find it quite on the busy side.
Very nice scene with the island and the sail boats. I like how well the haze fits with the sky.
Horo and mermaid010: Thank you.
Nice funky objects and very non-realistic, but wonderful presented, soccer ball, Horo.
Great island render, mermaid010. I agree with Horo. And I also like the boats very much.
Hansmar - thank you.
Thanks Horo and Hansmar.
I love David's beautiful cloudscape and layered skies files. I don't move the camera, so l get his awesome sky settings.

Maxon's free After Effects alternative
But what if I told you there is a 100% free software package that could enable you to create the same effects and graphics?
It's called Autograph and is developed by Maxon, the creator of globally popular software including Cinema 4D, Redshift, and ZBrush. With that lineup of applications in their repertoire, you just know Autograph is going to be good, and I can tell you, firsthand, that it is.
