Artist's Comments

A simple scene done with Vue and Photoshop, based on my previous sketch from Vue. Added foliage, changed some materials, and rendered a rather decent cloudscape from Vue. Layered in Photoshop with two cloud photos from Night_Fate_Stock for some added depth.

I'm rather happy with Vue's "Global Radiosity" lighting solution, although it's still a far cry from my normal mental ray lighting, but it looks almost believable if done properly! Thanks for looking.

Very well done, pal.

I see the old terrain-maker in you is not asleep :)

Dead but dreaming, perhaps? (grins)

Sometimes I get a bit of downtime at work... Might as well use the hardware for something "creative"!

Thank you! Kind of a quicky, but the details seemed to turn out okay.

Speaking of hardware... Following your advice (in fact, I had it in plan since a couple of months): today two 2GB modules of RAM arrived via FedEx :) - so I will go from 4 to 8.

That's what I'm talking about! Hope it helps, too...

Well, XSI has its world-famous "gigapolygon core" (silly names they invent, isn't it? ;) ) and it really handles enormous scenes without problems... but a little bit of freedom in using large HDRs and such will come handy :)

Almost completely photo-realistic! The only thing I could suggest is adding a little more light blur to the sun to give some depth to the hill shadow on the right. Great clouds. :)

Thank you! I have to agree with you about the lighting, it's a bit stark.
