November Entry - A Vulcan Winter

[Greason Wolfe]

Another round of rendering this morning, and a bit of experimenting with the inset as well. As Redrobes suggested, the water needed a darker coloring and it is much closer now, but still might need a bit more darkening. I have, for the most part, solved the "bloating" problem I mentioned earlier as well. For the time being (basically until I decide on better way to render them) I've dropped the more heavily forested areas, but did add in the roads. Oddly, however, instead of showing up in black, as they were supposed to, they came out as a very dark blue, nearly matching the water. I'll have to look into that. I may also have to dial down the noise on the dunes or, as an alternative, create a vegetation mask for them. In any event, here's the latest render with a smaller insert for size testing purposes.

P.S. It seems my connection is being a bear today, so I'll have to try uploading the latest WIP again a little later on and hope that I get a better connection, or resize it a bit. I really really really REALLY hate working on dial-up.

P.P.S. Ah, a much better connection this time.
