This is a final shot for my Outlaws Tales graphic novel project. the whole scene is modelled entirely in Maya, textured in PS and was rendered in passes in Mental Ray including an ambient occlusion render. The PFX grass and trees were rendered using Maya Software.

The image was then retouched in Photoshop using rain elements created in Maya PFX which were then comped into the shot along with the mist. The rolling hills in the background was a hi res digital image I took specifically whilst on holiday in the beautiful english countryside in 2006, and was finally used in May 2007! talk about take your time! enjoy...
