      @pete: how did this tree grow up there? LOL
      Nice render, you could use some displacement on the rock. ๐Ÿ‘
      @pilou: it looks good, its too small. The only way to hack texture is from edit texture palette due to UVs. These particular UVs aren't seamless though, lot of islands. Zbrush - UVmaster plugin can produce a one island non-stretching almost seamless UV map. I didn't use it here trying to avoid a 2048x2048 map. Uvs using 3DCoat here as sculpture, topology and tex painting.

        Some improvement in rocks modeling, I suppose so.
        No pp, conversion from hdr to jpg only. A raw podium v2 export 1.30 min.

          beautiful scene ross !!! Similar ideas here LOL
          You need a higher definition model though, and a 2048x2048 version of the rock texture. I'm thinking to start a series of people by the sea, not so easy for low poly versions. Easier than the rocks. My last one is the first that doesn't look smooth

              Thanks Michalis for sharing the lowdef rock. I had fun playing with it. My image features Alan Fraser's little girl from the FormFonts collection and is rendered using the beta of the new Render[In] plugin. Its sky generator is one of its best features.

              Regards, Ross

                Thanks Michalis! Unfortunately Mediafire won't spit out the download file for me. I click the download link and just get a bunch of pop up ads, but no prompt to save a file. I'll try in a different browser and see if that helps.

                EDIT - Working with Google Chrome. Thanks again!

                        Michalis,

                        Have you tried Sculptris yet? I'd be curious of your thoughts on that software.

                          I'm a zbrush guy. But a mac user too so... no. But my favorite app is 3DCoat, this could be the leader in a few years if not already. Voxel sculpture is superior, try it. The re-topo room is fantastic. In a few years everybody could model like this. Design first, boolean etc, retopo after. For hard surface modeling I mean. Not in a few years, right now lol.

                            Michalis, your low-def rock texture renders really well in FotoSketcher! I attach my earlier example given a quick watercolour makeover in FotoSketcher. I only wish my real watercolour skills could get as good a result. I particularly like the how the rock rendered.

                            Regards, Ross

                              These textures on rocks are a photo combination, parts of my watercolors sometimes. Now watercolors again LOL.
                              Its the horizon, the lighting on the see what doesn't look OK. You used a background image, not reflected material, thats why. This nice figure looks more convincing now. Try the higher definition rocks too.

                              Your wish could come true, normally a watercolorist never uses white paint. This is a myth. I little bit of white with dark brown-black and lot of water for transparency is what gives these grey tones. A trick coming from the king of this medium. Dรผrer... and spray using your finger on brush ... Andrew Wyeth. โ˜€
