Description Made in Vue 9.5

Custom Atmosphere

4 hours set up, 6 hours render.

Terrain was made in Vue then exported for final touches in World Machine, then back into Vue (Phew)

So this is what you say came from things you learned from my renders!! I dunno what exactly you learned, but pretty darn good, I must say! Love the overall feel, composition & depth.

Few things.. if you don't mind! It looks blurry in some parts, especially around the left-middle part. Also some of those trees are bent too much I think, which somewhat disturbs the overall calm feel for me. Also you could keep the sky plain, with so much fog, clouds won't be visible IMO & it'd probably look better.

artech7 In reply to Vishw [2011-10-20 17:30:33 +0000 UTC]

I looked at the depth your renders have, and I tried to match it with my own foggy and gloomy scene, since I like those renders a bit more than bright and lively scenes for some reason. Maybe I'm a manic depressive, I don't know lol.

Yeah, I know... it's weird. I think my computer had a weird moment when doing the blur amounts in the rendering. I'm not sure though. I didn't really do any post work except for color correction.

I do agree about the trees myself, though it kind of grew on me and the bend doesn't really bother me as much, though I do know what you are talking about. And the clouds that I have are kinda hinting at a receding fog line, instead of a gain. If you know what I mean. I live close to mountains and during the winter we get days that remind me of this render and I can see the clouds past the fog and blue sky, and it just looks awesome, so I was trying to get that to be similar in the render.

Another thing that may be weird in this render is the scale of the plants to the terrain. The terrain is 5 km in size square. So the trees and bushes are almost triple the size they should be lol. But it made for a quick render. I'm not sure how to use the ecosystem settings just yet, because I paint everything instead of spawn.... I've got a lot to learn still lol.

Thank you for the hints! I will consider them on my next render like this

Awesome yet again, I have to say that your art has something magical about it and the realism touch to your art is always there. Reflections on water are spot on and the sky looks just as it should look like

Thank you gain my friend! I appreciate your words It's funny because the atmosphere I used for this render is called "Magical workings", so it's kinda awesome you would mention it.

Really great work! Everything is wonderful, there isn't anything I could suggest to make this better, I really love the muted colors and curve of the river. Excellent!

Thank you so much! I'm glad I can finally please someone! lol

I have a question. Do you know the best section to upload at to get good saturation?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

orinoor In reply to artech7 [2011-10-12 22:18:14 +0000 UTC]

I don't really know about sections, but I know one of the best ways is to join as many relevant groups as possible and submit to them, paying attention to number of members and watchers. Try to have a mix of specific and broad groups, for example VuePort and Landscaped, then a big group like The DeviantART Gallery. That way you get good quality comments, people who know what you are doing, along with people who know nothing about Vue and it's all about the image. Hope that helps!
