Anyway, this is my entry for this month's challenge in the style of Thomas Cole and Asher B. Durand... The sky was done by experimenting wiht alpha planes, Vue skies and cubes with cloud materials... By giving cloud materials to cubes in front of the sky, I got this really interesting effect.... A nice dramatic sky.. Alos there spheres with cloud material mapped to them... There are probably over a hundred alpha planes in here... The flowers are all alpha planes, the lion and the lamb, the texture for the mountain, mapped to a symetrical lattice... Honestly, I wished I would have had more time to do this, but I got involved in a couple of projects this month.. The light rays were done by taking the light wave material and then editing the wave driving the color till I got these giant stripes.. Unfortunately, there is no way to edit them so that they blur at the edges... Anyway, for the big picture, go to the link...

Cool deal, Paul! I'm especially impressed with the realism in the cluds which appear to be drifting down the mountain's right side, but also with the detail and the incredibly real look to the materials, particularly on the mountain. Great concept, a well! Have also already added it to the list of pics in the Annex for the January VC.

Paul this is really nice! The flowers are excellent. Can I ask if you used the same method you had explained to me, with creating the flowers on a seprate layer(s) in Painter, then bringing them into Vue as an Alpha Plane? The look is so cool. Great image. John

Lovely picture Paul, looks almost real.

Thank you all for the kind comments... John, yes, I used the nozzle brush in painter and created a couple of groups of flowers as different picutures... Then I had to work them so that there would be any white on the edge, and just did a fill with the green from the ground texture on the edges... then I did the masks for all of them and then brought them into Vue... Then copied and pasted them... There's like zillions of them... :) You can't see it on the sides, but there's a whole bunch there....

Thanks for the info Paul, I love that technique. I'll be tryin' it out this weekend John :)

Wow, excellent job! I like the trees, the flowers, the lion and lamb are a nice touch and the sun rays. But especially I think, the clouds are the best. Good work, all around! :)
