Added new (freely available, UAS) palm trees and bushes with custom shader for wind movement / translucence
Added custom shader for flags/banners, with wind movement / translucence
Moved from old quad-based terrain to splatmap terrain system (saves draw calls, simplifies everything)
Slight adjustments to tonemapping settings.

Enjoy!

EDIT: This will be it for my Besaid Temple. I've got a few more screenshots at higher res but I'm saving them for later use. I can't really go much further without changing the geometry; weak points are the houses, props, etc. Grass sprites are also a major weak point, they were authored for a very archaic type of use.

There is actually the very background trees in my scene, but I moved them further back from the level so they're almost silhouettes in the fog

I was more talking about the light effect for make it look so realistic and that the texture blend correctly with the lights.
I've try that on 3D Max and I always get horrible result, specially on the texture that they end changing of color accord to the light its used (Daylight system on Mental.Ray. I've try with Vray, but it gives the same result).

So it's a bit of work to set up, but it got me nice and soft ambient light, and can actually with with a time-of-day system!

Ok, you just lost me.
To really know if its 3D max or Blender what are you talking right now
