WIP in WIP, post your level screenshots!

Well you cant put HDR in certain areas, so its just everywhere when out in the sun.

Heres some desaturated grass:

It does look better, but it somewhat loses atmosphere.

dude no way. I'd say keep playign with levels and try to get rid of the blacks. Get a QUALITY normal map for the terrain. Then use random point lights to highlight certain areas. Work with HDR to get a good feeling. Just because something is blown out doesn't mean its atmopsheric.

What would I highlight? Being a field its pretty hard to pick out certain things besides trees (and the house back there). Ill try and adjust the HDR, but it hasnt been blown out yet (youll know when its really been blown out). Right now its just bright.

Edit: I think this looks good:

If you add a mountain or a windmill to the skybox I will belive you

Maybe lessen the contrast a bit? There's too much disparity between the yellow and green hues, IMO.

Yeah I tested that out.. it starts getting really discolored looking.

I dont want a windmill, and I already tried mountains (looked wierd as they were so plain).

BTW, lol @ D3ads's sig. X-files FTW.

I get a little glow inside when people know what that is

Alex I have no idea about how grass in your country looks like, but in every single country I've been too (most western countries) I have never seen grass like that. (PS I HAVEN'T BEEN TO CHERNOBYL)

YOur graass is really, really horrid. It's like fairyland grass or 'hello magic mushrooms' at present. Considering the amount of it you've got, you either need to dramatically increase the size of teh texture you're using (porbably not feasible) or make it look softer. AS ferret said, you really need to lose the black, it's not helping matters.

If your grass sprites matched the grass color for saturation, brightness, and hue you'd find it would look a lot more decent.

I ehartily second that as well.

Enviroment light, with a yellow color will work good i think

The athmosphere is good and it looks fairly original despite trying to be realistic. What the others said applies though, that grass texture is crazy.

I've said to myself : "this can't be source". Just wow. I love those trees

maybe try another grass texture?

Yeah im thinking about it. The current one might not be realistic, but it gives it a good look.

I agree, but then I never did particularly dig pure realism. Style over realism any day
