Thread: A bit depressed | Forum: Vue
Thx Chipp but one more thing about TerraPak,
the default rocks look really bad closeup, how is that with the materials that come with TerraPak? On distance they look very nice..On screenshots TG renders show very detailed closeup rocks.
Thread: A bit depressed | Forum: Vue
Oh and Chip,
after using Crisp AA do you still have a sense of it being more blurry than TG renders?
Thread: A bit depressed | Forum: Vue
Thanks Chipp, I will reconsider :-)
I didn't know that TG2 couldn't handle transparent water, that'd be pretty much a killer!
Talk about the illusion of realism,
Picture of Mark Lawson combining Sea Vue with Terrapak, what a picture!! :O

I heard SeaVue requires a latest version of Vue, can someone confirm this? Unfortunately atm i can not update my version atm but will redo my op-system completly anyway.
Thread: A bit depressed | Forum: Vue
Yes the photorealisitc touch is what I'm missing in Vue. I really don't know how TerraGen ( 2 ) does it but it just looks more realistic from color. I hope that's just an up-to-the-artist thing when it comes to Vue. I see many sceneic pictures in the Vue gallery and most of them look good but the colors are anything but realistic.
In all respects of TerraPak and it's content, if there's a little secret on how to make the textures look more crisp and sharp even on distance, I think that should be public and freeware!
Simple TG2 picture? http://lucbianco.free.fr/2bgal/img/T2_2007/TGD602.jpg
I think Vue can definatly stand tall against TerraGen1 but Terragen2 ...
Has anyone of you guys made TerraGen challenging closeup groundtextures?

Quote - i'm still learning Vue6 Infinite but i find that when i use some simple tricks using clouds, haze, fog and light combinations and by adding Geo Control and Chipps TerraPakย youย can make some realistic scenes.
the basics are fairly easy to pick up but getting into the advance part takes a bit of time i'm finding but i find the more you experiment the faster it sinks in.you can find some free tutorials at the geeksatplay website.
i'm not familiar with Terregen so i can't comment on it.
Just browse the Terragen section here on Renderosity.
Most pictures there are now from TerraGen2 Tech Preview
It looks and certainly is a generation ahead of Vue in it's technology, but heck it's problematic. It is reported to have render errors, yet no rendertime estimation and the worst no dualcore support.
Atleast till then I better keep my fingers off that, but it's probably going to replace Vue forย pure landscape rendering once it is a bit more towards "beta"
Your Lost River Pic has a good atmosphere I see :-)
Thread: graphic card | Forum: Vue
Isn't the graphicscard relatively unimportant in rendering?
I recommend getting a 8800GTX ( incredible prize drop ) now that the 9000ers are on the market which are imo WASTE of money for one who doesn't have a super system.

I figured out there's options in the Object-AA Settings that i set to either Sharp or Crisp when I have a near texture that's supposed to be sharp.
Nah... another thing... hidden in full sight...
Bye!!!
Is that the little secret? ;)
Where do i find that?
Thread: A bit depressed | Forum: Vue
Quote - The main difference between Vue and TG renders is that Vue ones look (by default) "dreamy fuzzy" while TG are "razor sharp".
You can get Vue to behave the TG way by giving the postprocessing stage the importance it has. In TG 0.x one renders at double resolution without much antialiasing (because you have no andvanced AA available ), downsamples appropriately and give the result a touch of sharpening. On TG forums/sites there are in depth discussions about these steps.
Then there is a thing to do to textures but I am not writing more about it because I learned this "thing" studying TerraPak documentation... it is a single sentence and I assure you that it is worth by itself the cost of the Pak.
On the other hand, try to make in TG a scene showing a countryside road with lots of different plant species in a dreamy painterly like setting or import many complex objects with lots of textures or doing a final render in less than a week, but here we are in beating-a-skeletonized-horse department...
Bye!!!

Quote - What I'm planning on doing if possible is using TG2 to produce height maps or actual terrains for Vue
That'd make no sense.
You have GeoControl so the GC2 beta aswell which is a very good if not the best program for generating and importing terrain into vue.
Again I see no reason for Terrapak atm, I don't want Atms I don't want mats I want to know how to make em correctly

Quote - take a look at the Cornucopia site and in our own freebies - there are a few atmospheres here and a bunch of free stuff at Cornucopia.
Above all, don't get discouraged :) Vue is a very complex bit of software and takes a lot of figuring out to get the best from it
Yeah definatly.
I would love to use both Vue and Terragen but I feel that i need to focus on 1 right now, that wil probably be Vue, what i started with :-/
What i don't understand is from an image based lighting loading a HDRI picture and Vue asks me if it should set up the lighting to a proper image...after that the image looks...good!?
Thanks
Thread: A bit depressed | Forum: Vue
Quote - I don't know if your version of Vue supports it but take a look at Aerial perspective in the Sky Fog and Haze tab on the spectral atmosphere.ย That will give you a distant haze effect.ย The atmospheres in Vue are pretty complicated - best thing to do is to set up some sort of reference scene that renders reasonably fast then play around with all the settings.ย You'll be amazed at what you come up with (and don't forget to save the good ones :) )
[edit - take a look at the landscape section of the E-On picture of the day]
Yes the gallery is pretty nice. Saw some familiar pics there.
The main reason I wouldn't want to get TerraPak is because I want to learn making complex material layers on my own. Buying or DLing pre-water is ok but I really want to make my own terrain and textures :-)
Are there some free photorealistic spectral athmospheres to download?
Thread: A bit depressed | Forum: Vue
Thank you FrankT.
"Until they optimise the render engine it's a bit of a non starter"
That's exactly what I thought aswell.
It doesn't even have a rendertime estimation.
I don't know why I should get Chipp Walter's Terrapak... I have good see mats, good landmats ( i guess ) but what i'd need would be some atmospheres that have realistic color depth. I don't know, I think many Landscape renders in the Vue Galleyr don't have the "certain something" that would make terrains look so realistic...
Thread: Please make the gallery viewable for for anyone! | Forum: Suggestion Box
Quote - No, you cannot see anything in the galleries when you are not logged in. I just tried with a different browser and once you select a different gallerie and genre you are asked to log in. I hope you keep it like this - anyone who wants to see the images should sign up.
Hm well that's where we'd disagree :-/
Thread: I'm looking for hardware advice! New Computer!!! | Forum: Vue
Quote - My CPU's a Q6600 too. They have a 1066MHz bus so can't take advantage of DDR2 memory faster than PC2-4300 (aka PC2-533 to confuse us)
Are you sure about this?
I think I see many people using DDR-2 800 with a Q66.
Ram got so ridiculously cheap anyway.
Thread: Please make the gallery viewable for for anyone! | Forum: Suggestion Box
Yes I know but of course I only do that for very few ones who i trust.
Otherwise I would always have to send them over messenger which is pretty annoying over time.
Anyway I did not know how to give them the links to the gallery correctly.
Can they only view my Gallery or also other images?
