The most scaled work in this review! Not only did Radoslav create a huge super-detailed 3D landscape but also has created a whole world with people and animals living there and a gentle hint to mankind to be careful with environment and global processes. We strongly recommend you to see this work in full size!

Very cute work called ‘Hexagons Island’ from Daniel Kvasznicza will probably look great on your desktop as a beautiful wallpaper. Competent adjustment for the lighting and shadows made stunning work from simple number of stones.

Beyond The Horizon

I adore such beautiful space-themed landscapes with futurist motifs like this work called ‘Beyond The Horizon’. Formula is simple: Terragen + Photoshop + sense of taste = stunning 3D work.

The title of this work is absolutely all-sufficient. This ‘Calm Beauty’ opens secret glad tiding and piece in our hearts. Great work with lighting, reflections and surfaces!

Carapibus

There has obviously been a long hard work with different renders to make water look so realistic. Probably the special mood while creating has helped the author make such a romatic landscape view.

Red Leaves

This work looks a bit sad but nevertheless looks so beautiful! This work differs from others due to the scrupulous work with leaves and grass and special mood recreated from authors memories.

Migrations II

Software: Mojo, Bryce, Max and Photoshop

Great work that could become a cover for some sort of elite box of chocolates. There’s not much of the work in 3D software but still an awesome and very romantic composition.

Quiescent

Great composition with supposition to being photo-realistic. As for me it is too blurry to be perfect but anyways a nice illustration of little house in village.

Very nice work – snow-men under white tree with Earth on a background stylized like a souvenir snow ball. Not much of the hard modeling but the idea is great. Besides it reminds us of Christmas!

‘Space Marine Strike Cruiser’ is a work which represents some episode of life in anti-Utopia world. This landscape reminds me a little of an “Equilibrium” movie.

One more beautiful space-themed landscape here. The world that we can’t imagine and will never see. But because of how realistic it looks we can see what we’re missing

This sad view is inspired by song “The Wishing Tree” from Seamus McGuire. At first it looks as a very simple work, but it contains 3 lights, 1,687,631,610 polygons and 4 ecosystems. Not that simple now, huh? Also awarded with an ‘Image Of The Month Award’ by 3D World Magazine.
