Old river

Hi guys.

While surfing the web I came across a picture that reminded me of my time spent in the countryside as a kid. So I decided to try and replicate it in 3D. Please let me know what you think of it :)

Splendid! Atmosphere is very beautiful and serene. Materials, textures, details, light - everything looks fabulous. I especially like the fact that you did take care of small details, like changing textures on the boats to hide repetitiveness. One small correction that i would like to see, is lesser amount of sharpness - that would make your picture even more lifelike.

Thanks for your comments!

Yeah, I agree that the tree in the foreground could use more details, but I'm not sure I won't make it look even worse if I start messing with it :)
As for the sharpness, I didn't sharpen the images too much during the post processing, but I used the Blackman-Harris filter in Corona, which produces a crisper image. Probably should have stuck with the default Tent filter. I will try adding a little blur or more chromatic aberrations and see if that helps.

NEED SOME FLYING BUGS!
ADD SOME SLIGHT FOG!
for now, its to clean to be believable..
..
otherwise - eye candy!

Really nice! What did you use for the vegitation?

Thanks! Yes, fog would definitely liven up the picture :) I tried adding a light fog just over the water using Corona Volume material, but didn't like the result. Maybe I should experiment with mixing some Noise maps to achieve the desired look.

I used different plant models I have gathered over the years from all over the web, and Forest Pack for scattering.

This is one of the most beautiful CG of nature I have ever seen.
I wish and want this place to be real.

Oh, One more thing Wireframe view for inspiration !
