This is an all purpose forum right? I cannot find a WIP section.

So besides fun Planets this is what I am really working on.

As I have 32bit XP with its memory limitations it was hard rendering the whole pic in one go at the resolutions required. But with the render pass functionality in Vue I was able to render all the different sections pass by pass and then postprocess it afterwards.

That way I only need to rerender certain parts which is much faster and I have more control over colors in post. For example I have a couple of cloud backdrops that I present and the user can choose which he likes best. Same with the color of the grass etc.

Now one thing missing here - the house being a kindergarden - are children and playground object. Still working on that ... if you have tips on "kids" let me know. Am interested in anything from 2D cutouts to (poseable) 3D Meshes. I tried it with adapted Metapeeps but my boss did not like them too much. He wants the pretty kids :)
