Awesome work. Tell us more on how you setup your lighting and materials

Darthice

Great work! The foliage really is sweet! 
Overall I feel like the lighting could be better. It would be awesome to have some shadows crossing the path to have some shadowed areas in the scene. I think that right now it feels a bit flat.
For the clouds, I liked your previous update more, when they were a bit smoother.

Keep up the good work!

hey guys ! thanks for all the good advices , gonna take note of what you said @Darthice and try to improve the lighting and the clouds.

right now my lighting is composed of 2 directional light with a small value and different settings to get some nice shadow on large and far object ( combined with distancefields shadows) some athmospheric height , and a skylight with a HDR , i will post a screen of my settings later
