    I'm sorry if this has been discussed already, but is there a winter version planned any time soon? I would so love UltraScenery covered in snow and maybe with some ice on the lakes!

    I can't speak for ice on water, but have used https://www.daz3d.com/da-let-it-snow with US and been happy with it's success.

    Wow, this is VERY nicely done! Great job. I spend a lot of time kayaking and stomping around forests with rivers and this totally matches what I see quite often.

    Tango Alpha's swamp ecology set has just hit the store.  I'm about to upgrade my general purpose PC so I've bought it  but not downloaded it yet. 

    Cheers,

    Alex.

    My first use of https://www.daz3d.com/ultrascenery--swamp

    Pretty heavy on my computer.

    Wetland 1, Swamp 06.

    Does anybody knows what it is, that I have marked with the red arrows.

    I do not like the look of this and would like to get rid of them all.

    I guess those would be the tree knees

    Yes, you are right, Richard. I like the scene much more without them.

    Another example render with Swamp 01

    Wow, that's just so beautiful! I'd like to be there right now enjoying the peace and quiet.

     

    The swamp set looks great Tango. Grabbing it in a few minutes. This has to be my favorite thread in all these forums. I'm glad I've kept up with it. The imagery and things you folks do with US is amazing.

    Thanks! No idea, honestly. I wasn't sure if any of the models I had would be female. I didn't want to just have a male with no antlers...

    Maybe this is just before the mayhem started?

    Yeah...  that one in the back looks like he's thinking "Hey - he's drinking out my brook."  wink

    I just love it when somebody recommends a product and I find out I already have it!!

    Because Accelerator rebuilds the scenes pretty fast, one can easily spot, what is the difference between ecologies.

    This is my first UltraScenery render. It is just a simple scene, but I really like how it turned out.

    Misty Forest

    “The forest has fallen silent and still. Shy, tiny creatures hide among the foliage. The slender trunks drown in the blue mist. Flowers, like so many stars scattered among the grass, bask in the spots of sunlight. Only the whispered song of the bubbly creek can be heard. Its serene song full of greens and blues and yellows. Its hushed words telling of the many lands it has seen, of tall mountains and vast forests, of the people and the creatures it has met.”

    The lighting on this is excellent. A quite stunning image.

    I've just fed the latest figures into my tame copy of Excel. Here's the maximum number of combinations of landscape, ecology and water shader.  Bear in mind this is straight out of the box, before you start mucking around with the Alienator script or go full Barbult and engage in mortal combat with the JSON files. 

    Cheers,

    Alex.

    The swamp really brings a lot of new variety to UltraScenery - new trees, hanging moss, cypress knees, duckweed, etc.!

    Those cypress knees are an natural swamp element. I attached a photo I took last year. One of the nice things about UltraScenery is that you can turn off any layer you don't want, or use a layer mask to restrict the density or placement of the instances in the layer. So if you don't want cypress knees, you can just turn them off (as I see you have done in later renders). They are all looking nice - with and without knees.

    Edit: First the photo didn't show up at all, now it is attached twice. This forum software is frustrating.

    @BlueFox that is a lovely render. 

    I immediately popped the swamp into my cart this morning and never having been in a swamp tried a render of one with AM Wild Boar and used Lake 3, Swamp 6, Water Swamp.

    Thanks for posting. I have never seen swamp, like on your photos.

    Thank you Alex! I'm so glad you like the lighting. I was really happy with the way it turned out. :)

    Thank you Jason! Looking through this thread is inspiring. I was happy to finally be able to join the fun and render something myself. :)

    What is a swamp without bones?

    Saw some of the first postings & picked the product up this morning, but had some oddities after install.

    First, the entire product ended up in Lost & Found (installed via the DIM). Second, both USC and Ultra Scatter Pro were no longer in the Scripts Tab.  When I added them via the make custom action, it did but said they were already in the list.

    All resolved except the question of "Why"?

    Only suggestion for the product at first blush is for the Duckweed.  Be nice to have a degrees of coverage option.

    @memcneil70 Thank you! I like your image. It has a nice atmosphere. That sky is perfect for this wintry scene, I like that it adds a bit of warmth and happiness to an otherwise rather melancholy landscape. It seems too me that there are some kind of insects flying around, or maybe they are leaves? I am intrigued. ;)

    Degree of coverage is easily controlled with a layer mask on the duckweed layer in the Build tab. Alternatively, locate the Duckweed layer in the Scene pane after build and turn off the visibilitye to one of more of the Duckweed props in that layer, so the instances for the invisible props will not be rendered.

    The swamp ecology looks reall nice. I have never seen this kind of swamp in real life. It looks really interesting and different. I really like the cypress and tupelo trees and the tree knees. They add so much interest and variety. 

    @Artini I liked your renders. All versions of them.

    @barbult Thank you for posting that photo! It's really nice to be able to see a real life version of the new ecology. I really like the cypress knees. They are such an interesting feature.

    Here's photo I took last weekend showing that duckweed can easily cover every nook and cranny, including the alligators. laugh

    I imagine that makes good sunscreen...  and is a great reference for a picture I am working on.

    Alligators plus a swamp may be a bit cliche, but I don't get to use the model that often. :)
