    mermaid - a lovely scene and certainly a nice place to be. I'm not sure about the sizes. The horse seems to be in the same distance from the viewer as the house but if so, the horse could almost look in the window of the first floor.

    Hansmar, Yellow Pen, Horo, adbc, NGartplay and mermaid010 - thank you for the comments! I truly appreciate the suggestions on the overly bright foreground. I agree. I've lowered the illumination and re-rendered it , as shown here. But it may still be too bright. What do you all think?

    mermaid010. Lovely scene. But, indeed, there appears to be a size issue. Also the couple on the bench looks big, compared to the house.

    Dan. Better, I think. But the five bushes still look rather light to me. Are you sure there is not quite some ambience in the textures of these?

    Mermaid010, that is a glorious scene.  Hubby is retiring 2/28/2021 (28/2/2021 for my European friends) and I retired awhile ago.  We were looking forward to this too.  Pandemic messed it up.  Can't even get the vaccine because we can't make an appointment anywhere.  Sigh, wish I were there.

    Dan, definitely much better.  Those plants look the most realistic next to the pine tree and I like the variation on some of them.  I also like the yellow toned plant in the scene.  I would have made a couple of the light plants just a tiny touch darker (the one all the way to the left and the one all the way to the right in the back) but they look good as they are.  You don't want them to blend into the scene.  Making those two darker keeps the viewer's eyes from traveling off of the page.  tiny tiny bit.

    You don't need to rerender the entire scene.  You can just rerender the areas that you change.

    mermaid : a realistic landscape, well done. The size, yes... a known problem to me as well.

    Dan : much better indeed.

    Dan - the plants in the foreground look better, but the person and the telescope look darker, like if the sun went behind a cloud. But overall, it looks better.

    Thanks Horo, Hansmar, NGartplay and Adbc for the comments, sizing ... always a problem for me. I still have time to re-render it.

    Dan - the new version does look much better.

    Mermaid: what a lovely Scene, yes. But I agree with Horo about the size of the horse.

    Dan: Yes, it looks better now, but - like Hansmar said - these Bushes are still very bright.

    Set the foliage material to Ambience = 0 or minimum.

    Yellow Pen - thanks I'm working on a re-render

  • Yellow PenYellow Pen Posts: 920

    Mermaid: very well done smiley

  • NGartplayNGartplay Posts: 3,135

    Mermaid010, as before, it is such a lovely scene.  Even better now.

    mermaid : Well done scene, the horse looks much better.

    Mermaid010: much better!

  • drachenlordsdrachenlords Posts: 821

    @ Hansmar: I also think the second version has the better light.

    @ spuddy: Thank you.

     

    @ Yellow Pen: Thank you.

     

    @ S Ray: The Mocking Jay - Very good job and nice idea.

    Strange Object - Great and very colorful idea.

     

    @ Dan Whiteside: Thank you. A New Horizon - Very nice perspective and something I would definitely look forward to myself.

    Advanced Scout - The scene is very successful and in the second version it is no longer too bright.

     

    @ mermaid: The second version looks really nice. Good work.

    Thanks to everyone for your nice comments and feedback

  • ChoholeChohole Posts: 33,604

    Does anyone need any more time?

    Hopefully, three times is the charm. I was being rather lazy by not changing the  32 bush textures (4 materials for each bush). Not at all sure why these objects were so much brighter. Especially since all the textures were all Bryce  procedural's. Thanks and appreciation for the suggestions.

    This should be my official entry (Advance Scout).
