Is this thread open to any renders from any of the Easy Environments? I have them all so far and am in a Render project that uses them as the Main set for most of the renders so far. Only one is used at this time, but the props are used in the other images as well.
If you wish to look click on the Primitives Link in my Sigline.

Of course it is! I really enjoy seeing what you guys do with the sets, even if it would be only 2 blue pixels from a skybox in the image. ;)
Checked the Primitives...really cool, made me happy to see the story-based use of the set. Chars & environment fit well imo. Sidenote: Don`t know if you`ll need it, but you can let the trail end in the middle of the terrain if you want (material settings)
Let me tell you, it took me days to render the bottom bit of this one. Once it hit that front sand, it was like slogging though sand dunes ...
We made the mistake once of driving south of Florence, Oregon, which resulted in a hike through MILES of sand dunes to get to the ocean. Never again. Besides, I always preferred the rocky coastline north.
I'm waiting anxiously for Top of the World. It looks incredible.

I've been looking forward to this. One thing I'd like, if you are thinking of expansions, would be some "heavy weather" environment boxes for this and for the pass set - storm and/or snow clouds pressing down, maybe a lighting bolt leaping between clouds if that was possible.
I did blame the plant. And I also blamed the car I'd originally used. But removing both made no difference. Although, I ended up replacing the car with the truck.
I have the same issue right now with the log from Stonemason's Return to the Enchanted forest. Apparently, I'm not supposed to bring some things so close to the camera :P (It's also time for a new computer)

I wonder how well some of the other "weather" sets would work with this. I'm particularly thinking of Nerd3D's Rain Tool, Fog Tool and Blowin' In The Wind.
Thanks for posting all those great renders guys, they look great and are really appreciated!
Werewolves, dragons, punk girls, ninjas...the top of the world is really crowded these days, Reinhold Messner will not be amused. ;)
@ weather sets ... I don`t have any of the ones you linked, but I guess fog will only work when used rather softly. After all it can`t creep into the skybox. The other ones look like particle emitters or geometry, so I think they should work well.
@ Satira Capriccio ...maybe you really need a new computer. ;) The eternal sands previews had rendertimes of about one minute on DS and maybe four minutes on Poser for me. :/
@ Richard and midnight_stories ...will keep those suggestions in mind for the time when I get to do an addon. The full moon thing may be solved in a different way soon though.
As a brief look into the future ... I plan to do more easy environments, but on a less regular schedule, mixing in a few other sets.
From the suggestions I got here I will look into red rock desert (aka fake australia), underwater, farmlands and a pure skybox addon, but it may be a while before any of those show up.
gah, had to edit out a few smileys, couldn`t take all the happyness
I've been watching these environments for awhile now, and I'm thrilled to be getting them all today. I'm very excited about any future sets, as well. I think this is the kind of outdoor scene I've been looking for. Thanks!

They render beautifully right out of the box and are quite flexible as well. Normally I wouldn't buy more than one in a series that's in .pp2 format (I looove being able to stick with my main DAZ library) but it's worth it for these.
I am surprised you don`t like pp2 releases. I am a DS guy as well, but as long as it handles like native files (loading mats automatically) I find pp2 almost better than DS native formats since it`s independent from the DS version. And...well, I mostly use the smart content tab anyway, although it drives me mad at times.

Well, that's probably it, I hate smart content and never use it.
I see. I for one love how it shows me all options I have once an item in the scene is selected. But admittedly it`s a pitty Daz didn`t manage to to keep it structured, finding a new item can be quite a task.
After arguing with myself which one I wanted the most right now, I chose Mountain Trail yesterday. But after seeing all these renders I think I'll have to scrounge up the cash for Top of the World also.

@Jaderail: Nice images and story. :)

Well, in that case!

Let`s blame the plant!
Thanks for posting the pic Satira, cool gritty look. :)
Aiko 5 was dropped onto Olegro to search for fuzzballs for the fur trade. Instead she ran into a pair of Glyptodons.
(I forget what she's wearing. The Glyptodons are by dinoraul. The scene set is, of course, is Eternal Sands.)
That`s a nice one! Thanks.
Is it the camera angle or did you relocate the textures? The cracked earth looks like a hill...somehow I recall it being a trail. ;)
I moved the camera around. As I remember it was like a trail and I found a spot where the edge dropped off a bit.
It took a while, but "Top of the World" finally landed at the store, as MM release. ;)
My whole store is part of MM today as well.
Top of the World

Link: Top of the World Daz Store

Will play with it when I get time (already installed) ;-)
Looking good!
You are fast ;)
Forgot the tip of the day ... wiiide camera angles! Really work great on this set.
Jumped directly into my Library!
Wow excellent set I could think of so many creatures to put on top of this. Love it !

A full moon would be nice !!!

Had to do to the 'master of the sky' overlooking his domain. ;)
I have to say, I have every single one so far and love them all.
Really cool renders!
I've done this
"Reaching for the sky"

Ninja at the top of the world.

Edit: Yes, I tweaked the materials for Close Up ;)
I think the birds are missing out - just a quick render of my latest purchase ... I love these sets!
You guys treat this set really well, your renders are all great! :)
