    Now that gives me an idea... Are there any good Vietnam maps or is my best bet to scene build?

    As for the picture, I like it. Just that the trees in the distance look sharp, fuzzy, and distracting. To me at least. Still, great picture.

    Nirrti. He released them an hour ago I see.

    Your best bet is to scenebuild then. It's easy, just spam jungle foliage everywhere, add some fog and a lamp.

    where'd ya get the tree models?
    L4D2 and RnL.

    The grass looks real funky, and I don't particularly like that red flare smoke shit.

    Edited:

    The varying lights & darks in the grass looks super funky.

    Nope, the trees are props.

    "Other problems"? Please be more specific.

    The jaggies were caused by the greenscreening. I cannot fix them.

    And "Put more time into it"? I worked 4 hours on this. Should I waste a day? Geez, at least you didn't suggest texturing.

    Well the low-res grass at least, then the rotors not looking right.

    You're able to fix the jaggies, too. Just gotta work on it some more.
    Try using the Refine Edge option in Photoshop, or just do it by hand.

    Also putting more effort into something doesn't equal wasting time.

    Edited:

    and texturing is never a bad thing

    Hey, a newsflash: I don't have Photoshop and I'm not planning to get it!

    Well the low-res grass at least, then the rotors not looking right
    I understand the rotors, but the grass: How the fuck?

    Also putting more effort into something doesn't equal wasting time.
    Wow you think I didn't put effort in this?
