Ok so I decided to get in on this one. Here is my start. The block you see on the ground is my "hobbit" so I can get some scale. The tree you see is still fluid at this moment. I have alot of work on it. |

Ok made some updates to the terrain. I have taken a different approach than I was going to do. I also added a fence. |

from "The Hobbit", I think that the top of your hill should be a bit more rounded. this one looks more like stone with a layer of ground over it. Other than that, it looks very good. |

yeah I have been trying to get that hill right. The ground texture will undergo a lot of changes. What you are seeing here is the base. |

I like the texture of the gorund. I think you've done good with it. If you round out the top and put a tree there, then your hobbit would have a nice place to read a book. Perhaps "There and Back Again". :D |

Coming along nicely - not being picky but shouldn't the door be round?
Looks like your Hobbits getting his very own pond - cool! :cool: |

Ok I did not like the current hobbit house. It looked to modern for my taste and not whimsical (sp?) enough. So here is the start of a new hobbit house. |

Well I am flipping and flopping more than John Kerry on the campaign trail! took Kena's advice and made this more hobbity! I did some research and I like this more than the other one and the tree. Still alot to go, but here is the start. |

updated house. I think instead of doing a complete scene as I was. I am goingn to focus on this house. Question. How do I use GI and not get all the differnt shadows? I can't seem to just get the shadows to come from one area like the sun does. That is using 100 samples. |

to get the sun to come from one place, you need a single light source in your GI image. remember that sometimes shadows are from reflected light. |

Well Kena the problem with the reflected light is that the house is sitting in space. Nothing to reflect the light. If I used what I think I did, the image is overcast I think. There is no definate sun. I do have one where I made sure that the sun is in it. I think one issue is that they are not real .hdr images. They are just pictures I took and I use them in GI. |

Ok did some more work on the house. I added the wood boards. I still have one side to do and then more detail work. The sky is just for show..not the final image. |

from this angle, the sky looks pretty good. Just punch a hole in the hill - add that last side and texture - you would be done. |
