    My second entry: “Migration Observation Station".
    I do so enjoy creating Bryce moons… G2 male, outfit and bird flock from DAZ3D, Wind tower by1971s. Illuminated by the sun and use sky IBL. Rendered at 16 RPP, TA enabled - about three hours to render. Good luck to all and thanks for taking a look!

    Off Grid Cabin is a great entry, Dan. Yeah, volumetric clouds can take a while to render. Reducing Quality speeds up the render and sometimes there is no noticeable difference.
    Migration Observation Station is also a great entry. I like the idea and everything is superbly done.

    Dan Whiteside - "Off Grid Cabin" looks quite fairytale - lovely clouds. "Migration Observation Station" has a beautiful peaceful feel to it - lovely soft colours and the birds really make the scene.

    Two wonderful entries, Dan!

    I'm trying to also render a second entry, with volumetric clouds, which are scarcely visible. Due to a computer that starts to get very eratic, I have had to restart from an earlier saved point a couple of times. New one yet to be installed. So, to lower the render time, I decided to do without those clouds. Still needs to be rendered anyway.

    Dan : two excellent entries.

    My last entry, very simple really : all Bryce except for the flowers that are free from the net. I would call it : wellness.

    adbc - very Zen! I love the foliage and the reflections.

    spuddy - shame you had to drop the first, but your final three are all really good, so I suppose something had to give.

  • HoroHoro Posts: 10,635

    spuddy - I agree with MelanieL that it is sad that you had to drop the first one; after all, it was my inspiration.

  • @Dan:
    Off Grid Cabin - Wonderful color combination. The clouds look amazing. Overall a very beautiful and really peaceful scene.
    Migration Observation Station - I love this SciFi picture. Incredible planets.

    @adbc:
    wellness - maybe simple, but very meaningful. It meets the Thjema fiedlich completely.

    @Spuddy:
    Your three pictures are really excellent.

  • adbcadbc Posts: 3,115

    Yellow Pen, Horo, spuddy, MelanieL,drachenlords : thank you.

    spuddy : absolutely wonderful, detailed and realistic entries.

    Hello everyone. Does anyone need more time?

  • Another day? I've got something rendering right now. I'll try to get it posted tomorrow. Thanks!

  • HansmarHansmar Posts: 2,927

    adbc, that is an excellent render!

    Spuddy, great entries.

    I think I can use another day too.

  • mermaid010mermaid010 Posts: 5,484

    Adbc - wow so beautiful, excellent work.

    Spuddy - superb entries

    Ah, my renders are ready!

    Two additional entries. The first one is 'Promontory', showing a peaceful day at the promontory. The second one is 'Obsolete'. Let us hope that these things once become all obsolete, due to ever lasting peace!

    The start of the Promontory was the same terrain and some of the trees for my previous entry. I added another terrain and changed almost everything else. There is the Grand Turk (free ship) and the Leviathan (from Daz). The second one has a freeby broken tank and several trees by Judy Kerr, as well as two doves from different sources. It also has a modified sky slab from David Brinnen and Horo.

  • @ Hansmar:
    Two beautiful renders. The second is an unusual idea with the destroyed tank. I like it very much.

    @Dan:
    Underwater, of course. Everything seems peaceful there. Very good work.

  • adbcadbc Posts: 3,115

    Hansmar, mermaid : thank you.

    Hansmar : two superb entries, very nicely done.

    Dan : great underwater scene.

    Considering the quick turn around for these beautiful renders,  and how busy I am. I think we should give another week for adjust and tweaking? Just incase anyone wants to polish some stuff up. (April 22nd)

    And by that time, I should have the next time up and running as well.

    Hansmar: beautiful renders both, very well done.

    Dan: its a nice idea, and very peaceful too... I like it.

    When Apoc gives us one more week, I try my third one too.

  • HoroHoro Posts: 10,635

    Dan - looks great and is a cool idea (probably also cool there laugh).

  • MelanieLMelanieL Posts: 7,379

    Hansmar - two lovely entries. I really like that seaweed-y look on the beach of "Promontory", by the way.

    Dan - lovely underwater effect in that one.

  • Yellow PenYellow Pen Posts: 920

    So here is my last entry:

    Running back home. (I played a little bit with Camerasettings and DOF...)
