Quote - At last, folks that talk rocks!  I have spent the better part of my summers for years photographing and gnawing on how to get those cliff faces and boulders into my art.  My family gave up asking me for a photo show years ago.... "rocks, rocks, squirrel.... oh! another rock!" Heh.

Both of you have gotten mighty close.  Thank you for sharing the process here. 

Just ordered Vue 8 Complete, after using Vue 4 for the interim years.  Can't wait to crack it open and take a look at all the additional tools.

Glad you like our rocks, Teque. I am convinced that we can go even further by experimenting with functions.
Good to hear you have Vue 8 now. The displacement  does not only look better but you have more options now.
I can well understand your interest in rocks. Last year, I was in the mountains a couple of times
(I`m from Switzerland, so we have plenty of them). I remember that each time when coming back home, I started  Vue and tried to capture the look and feel of the rocks that I had just seen.
No need to mention that it was frustrating at times to just not be able to get realistic results.

But in the meantime I am confident that it`s just a question of time till we see rocks that are really hard to distinguish from real rocks.
