dinner time....

Rich youre making me blush here!As I have said many times before,its always great to get positive feedback.
I have attached 2 more images from the hillside house, a bit more abstract than the last few.
The web was added in photoshop as was the glare and colour tones.

I like these images a lot.I think the planting and people are very well handled

Heres a more finished version of the image previously uploaded with the colours also more saturated(I think the sun flare is maybe a bit overdone)

Solo,
I like that effect from the denoiser,it also helped to remove the thin straight lines that were emenating from the sunflare.

Thanks Rich,these are pretty much the raw Thea output except for some colour toning or minimum, and I mean minimum, foreground additions.(these would be any light/white coloured grain/wheat grass,if they are not there,then its just colour toning)

I have attached an NPR of a new view,but the only reason its NPR is because its still rendering(all these images are saved from the interactive mode)and is quite grainy.
I often use these grainy images to set up my final image and if I am not happy with the final grain-free render than I use these for my NPRs where I will change the sky,background,add water etc.

A different light/hdri setting.

A different sky with different lighting

A couple more with different colour tones

Another view ,this time with some additional vegetation added in photoshop(like the first image all green grasses and white flowering plants are straight from Thea,also the trees, and the light grain grasses are photoshop.)

A complete Thea render except for the birds and the colour overlays/toning done in photoshop.

2 Versions using Theas Relight facility to render out a bright summer evening and a slightly dark evening.

The main green grass is 3d rendered in Thea using the instance tool to populate the area.
The other grass added in photoshop(the light coloured grain/wheat grass are actual .pngs of grass from "Digart" Vegetation which are dragged and dropped into the image.I cant upload the Digart grasses due to licencing issues but here is the website I purchased them from:

Attached is a sunset NPR ,using the same building as used in the TROPICAL images.The house and grassy hillside was rendered in Thea with additional vegetation and the background added in photoshop.The original image was 3500 pixels wide and was reduced to upload here so I have attached a cropped part of the original image to show the detail.

One more with some saturated colours and quite a high contrast

Olishea!
Where the hell have you been!You were one of the first guys that I remember on this site and it seems like years ago!
good to see you back!

massimo,
Glad to see some other Thea renders here,that image is brilliant.

A dusk shot,again rendered in Thea and post proccessed in photoshop.

[EDIT]
I have also attached a cropped version with some slightly different colour tones(more purples and reds) but also a more rectangular proportion which I think works better for this image.The second image is also less grainy as it was from a thea render that was allowed to render for longer,thereby reducing the amount of grain in the image.

One more view with more colour saturation than the last couple.

The grass was done using the instancing tool in Thea and brushed around the landscape.The post produced images have additional supplemental grass added in photoshop.

Here are 2 more images,the first from a different vantage point and the second a crop of the first showing the detail at 1:1 scale as the image was reduced in size for the forum.
The light in the first image was accentuated on the left of middle ground to suggest rays of light coming from the low sun.

Thanks guys,I can never get tired of positive feedback!
I have attached the original render(except for the birds in top right) before I added the additional elements and effects.I actually prefer this one as the proportions are much better and looks less cluttered.

This is my first attempt at doing a tropical landscape.The building and all vegetation except for the immediate foreground trees and plants was rendered in Thea Render.(The boat is also photoshopped.

I have previously rendered this building and placed it in more rural landscapes but I have always wanted to try a sea-scape.I hope to do a few more from some different angles.
