Those look closer to the plant I see. Here is a site with pictures of wild Foxglove in a woodland setting.

I seem to remember there's also foxglove in one of the bigger nature sets, but I haven't found it yet. The one in the Lilac Chill Out set is actually speedwell. I'll do another sift through my collection when I get home today.
At least, I got some attention...
I do not know, what was wrong with that Beatles record and I have listened to it, when I were young...
Point taken...
I think I was 5 when it came out. I can remember skipping down the road while singing 'We all live.. [etc]' at the top of my voice having not the faintest idea what much of the album was about. Not convinced I do even now, but that's by-the-by.
Regards,
Richard
I was stationed in D.C. and 19. Returning from Newport R.I. with my dorm roommate and we were stuck on the New Jersey Turnpike for hours when that was in heavy rotation. Let me just say, my brother-in-law doesn't appreciate that I run screaming when he brings out his Beatles collection.
What I would have given for cassette tapes or CD tech then.
The DIM files have been fixed and updated so the proxies should load into the correct location and the ecologies should work properly now.
It looks to me like the terrain textures for Britain 3 and 6 are swapped. 3 has orange tree leaves and green terrain. 6 has green tree leaves and orange terrain.
I rendered feature Stones 1 with Britain 6 and the orange ground cover around the stones looked strange with the overall green vegetation. I applied the Britain 3 green terrain texture and rerendered. It looked much better to me that way.
Original Stones 1 Britain 6
Modified to use Britain 3 terrain texture
Or with the green grass in Britain 3, maybe its green terrain is correct, even though the trees are orange. I don't know. But the orange terrain on Britain 6 doesn't look right to me.
Interesting find, @barbult
I have to look, if it is not the similar case with the pebbles in the water
with Britain 4 preset, which got strange looking greenish border around some of them.
I didn't get Britain but the discussion started me experimenting with Alienator. I used the Oaks and Stones with plants from my library.

It looks like the update for Britain with the correct install paths is now avaibe on DIM - at least it was for me.
The images are very dark. It is difficult to see all the detail you added with the Alienator flowers. What lighting are you using? Try the sun-sky render setting that comes with UltraScenery (USC Late Morning), and see how that works.
I can't reproduce those green borders. Are they reflections on the water? What lighting and water settings are you using? This is what I see with the Sunflowers HDRI and Clear Stream water. I rendered with and without the water object visible, but got no green borders.
I did notice a strange (to me) thing in the Britain 4 ecology, but it is not related to river pebbles. The Ransoms (field) and Ransoms Verge layers each appear twice in the ecology.
Thanks for letting us know!
This was a mistake render, but I was really impressed with how great those bracken look, even this close up. And I love the new trees in the Britain bundle.
Loving the Britain set... Haven't even scratched the surface yet really because I got transfixed with doing a 4 Seasons montage with the first one I tried...
I haven't rendered anything in a while so I thought I would have a play with US and USX plus some other bits that have been gathering virtual dust and I ended up with this
Ugh I have no idea how to stop my images getting squished like that
EDIT the image to about 700 or so :)
Oh Dave.. these are wonderful!!! You need to print them out and put them on a wall somewhere.. ;)
Thanks for the testing. I have used one of the presets from:
https://www.daz3d.com/skies-of-iradiance-sunny-sky-hdris-for-iray
It can be some strange reflection - will render again with different light setup.
I can only agree, Britain set contains a lot of well made items and looks great in the renders.
Thanks. I think it's fairly impossible to do a bad render with this set.
Well so far, every combination I've tried looks excellent.
These are stunning, Love the use of light and shadow. Just goes to show that good lighting and a bit of time taken can make all the difference, someone in my gallery said that air has a texture, and they are absoutley correct there, a slight haze makes all the difference and combined with good lighting you get results like this. Beautiful, thankyou for sharing.
I would hazard a guess its got something to do with lighting and angles. Dont forget that liquid shaders (if made correctly) affect the way light reflects and refract on whats underneath them, and i suspect thats what you ran in too here, could be wrong but thats would be my guess, try a different lighting angle and a more defined light sourse ( the sun is a very definded light source) .
Those are fabulous and a joy to look at. It is a great addition to UltraScenery and you've done a great job rendering with it!
Thanks, very kind of you to say so... Yes and here in England that "texture in the air" is usually drizzle so I'll have to work on that effect in my renders.
Thanks... So pleased you guys like them. Only got them yesterday and I'm certainly liking working with them... In fact, I've got zero paid work done for about 48 hours because of this product hahaha... My Work/Life balance is perfect at the moment.
Another render of Britain 4...
And I don't mean to spam the thread but I think the results I'm getting are worth sharing here.
And doing this one has given me an idea for another using the Ultra Scenery Junction (Dirt Track 3).
Oh I looooooooooooove cemetaries... but I'm sure when I was in England, exploring cemetaries, none of the monuments were standing straight up! lol Well done.
