pretty cool.. the only thing that burns my eye is that the trees orientation follows the valleys curves... unless it is a wish..

edit.. the grass maybe needs more variations...?

[rusteberg]

yes,, I will look into that. the non perpendicular to world z bothered me as well trying to figure out how to overcome that in a practical way. still looking into options for grass.... thanks for the critical feedback. i really appreciate it : )

here's another quick one I played around with today. palms are looking a little too waxy for my taste.

[Hervé]

Indeed a bit too waxy.. but the color of the sea...? on my monitor it is way too saturated and too purple... are you using an hdri to lit the scene..?

ps, maybe make the sand beach more flat so we can see it underwater more wide..

here a ref. I found..

[rusteberg]

ok, yeah.... went a little crazy there. good call on the slope... here's some new water:

Smoke looks good, though obviously cloned. Meshed particles?

it was an afterthought comped in from this image: http://www.birthdefectlawyer.net/ChimneyEF_1654.jpg

i'd like to try to get something to that effect using a particle system of some sort
