Description // III. Carpe Diem
'Carpe diem, seize the day'
I'll always remember
The chill of November
The news of the fall
The sounds in the hall
The clock on the wall ticking away
'Seize the Day'
I heard him say
Life will not always be this way
Look around
Hear the sounds
Cherish your life while you're still around

"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today,
Tomorrow will be dying."

We can learn from the past
But those days are gone
We can hope for the future
But there might not be one
The words stuck in my mind
alive from what I've learned
I have to seize the day
To home I returned
Preparing for her flight
I held with all my might
Fearing my deepest fright
She walked into the night
She turned for one last look
She looked me in the eye
I said, 'I Love You...Good-bye'

"It's the most awful thing you'll
ever hear."
"If you're lying to me..."
"Oh, you dearly love her."
"...just have to leave... all our lives."
"Seize the day!"
"Something happened.
"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may."
"She was killed." //

--From Dream Theater: A change in seasons--

===========

Part I of hopefully an undergoeing project. I've been listening to the song "a change of seasons" by dream theater in it, and Decided I should make a piece for each "part" of it. This is the first one. don't mind that it's III, the others will fall in soon.

=============


Specs:

Render size : 6000x4500 (new record for me >_>
Final size: 1600x1200


Also, a few other notes, I realy liked the surface map on this one! I'd have to say it's my best yet, but i'll leave that up to you all.


As always, comments and stuff are greatly apreciated!

This one is a real gem. Can you share the water settings? And the surface map. And the atmosphere?

COOL BEANS! Yeah matching the overlay files up would be a pain. Could be easier to just include the overlays, a readme with what one went to which layer and it should be easy enough to put the pix where we want on our machine and then choose them out fresh in TG. :dunno: :loopy:

Beautiful landscape and excellent use of textures... the clouds in the upper left nicely balance the terrain in the lower right, and the composition has a very serene feel to it... seems to fit very well with the song

Aaaah.... "Carpe Diem", a worldwide known epicurian sentence from the Latin writer named Horatio (if I remember well)...

Spectacular rendering with nice lighting, not to mention the textures... did you use a terrain generating program or have you entirely done it yourself?

Nice poem by the way, hats off for you.
