Join the Air Force...

see the world.



Thanks for looking.



[edit]Ok machineman9, I tried to clean up the edges a little more, but I think it looks a little blurry now. I darkened the aircraft and added contrast, then added the lighting again. Better?

Wow!
Is this a photo or terragen?

Yea, I'd rather join the air force.

[color=#000000]It's a photo. I will never get Tgen looking that good. As to the phrase, I just 'borrowed' it because I could not think of a title.

  30,000ft high that is!

My only criticisms are that the edges look a tad rough and that the lighting doesn't quite match. There's a load of sunlight shining down but none of it seems to be hitting the aircraft. You may want to try and brighten up some areas of the aircraft and darken others to give it a nice shadow. Often to do that I create a white patch, use gaussian blur to smoothe it out and set that as a light area. Then I create a dark layer and in similar fasion draw on the shadows, blur them and it leaves slightly better contrast.

But besides that, it looks rather good  8-)

Are there no smoothing/smudge options? Usually I use a really light version of that to run over the edges to try and smooth out the aircraft.

That's what caused the edges to look blurred in the second one.

Just get them smoother to start with Patchz.
