    Yellow Pen: A beautiful landscape. -- My favorite is the 2nd version. Its soft sky creates a dreamlike mood.

    Took me awhile, but here goes. Render 6_1 is the original, I changed out the sky with different preset I have on the rest.  On 6_5 I hide the volume clouds.

    Well done S Ray.  My faves are 1, 3 and 4.  Very pretty.  Thank you for trying out the different skies.

    S Ray, you have a lonely island here.  Why not enter your favorite into the contest?

    S Ray - a set of excellent examples how the sky can make a difference.

  • huberthubert Posts: 414

    S Ray: A nicely done set with great moody variants. (My favorites are #3, #4 and #6.)

    Wow Hansmar a superb set of renders.

  • NGartplayNGartplay Posts: 3,109

    Hansmar, like 1a and 3a on the dinosaurs the best.  Your landscapes are beautiful.  Like the use of snow in the one.

  • HoroHoro Posts: 10,636

    Hansmar - another two sets of great examples.

  • adbcadbc Posts: 3,115

    Hansmar : two sets of impressive renders.

    I've been reading and loving the Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons. The River Tethys running through numerous worlds connected by farcasters is an image I can't stop thinking about! Who know's where you'll end up when you take a trip down the river.

    Slight terrain edit between the scenes, planetary positions, camera position + FOV and HDRIs. The "brown" scene is HDRI from Enhanced Skies pack with no extra lighting. The space scene is HDRI with sun enabled (coloured light blue) and some radial lights

    benbr11, both of these images are beautiful sci fi looks.  I don't know the Hyperion Cantos but I'm sure that you captured the feeling well.

  • mermaid010mermaid010 Posts: 5,485

    benbr11 two fantastic sci-fi scenes well done.

  • HoroHoro Posts: 10,636

    benbr11 - two excellent fantasy scenes, both are interesting to look at. Well done.

  • adbcadbc Posts: 3,115

    benbr11 : fantastic fantasy scenes, both are facinating.

  • huberthubert Posts: 414

    Hansmar:
    - Cool dino scenes! (My favorites are "3a" and "3b".)
    - Six great landscape variants. (I like the terrain mat and the water of the first one.)

    benbr11:
    Two impressive and well done otherworldly scenes! -- (I read "Hyperion" and "The Fall of Hyperion" around three years ago. I too liked that fascinating concept of farcasters spanning over multiple worlds, connected by an endless river.)

  • Yellow PenYellow Pen Posts: 920

    S Ray, Hansmar and benbr 11: beautiful scenes all.... I love your playing with the light. Very well done.

  • HansmarHansmar Posts: 2,929

    Mermaid, NGarplay, Horo, adbc, Hubert, Yellow Pen, Thanks very much.

    Benbr11: what a great set of visualisations of this fantasy-scifi theme.

    I still can't upload images to the forum but there is no problem uploading to the gallery.

    Here are some variants of the Rocky Island I entered in the last challenge

    Unfortunately due to the new interface at Pinterest the images get cropped.

    mermaid - all three look very good, I like the second most. I know uploading here takes patience but sometimes it works. Try at different times of the day.

  • mermaid010mermaid010 Posts: 5,485

    Thanks Horo. I tried uploading at different times of the day and different browsers too

  • NGartplayNGartplay Posts: 3,109

    mermaid, simply gorgeous skies.  The first picture is dark but I love the sky in it.
