BIO
My real name is Lars, and I live in Denmark. All my life I've been drawing and making pictures, occationally as a "professional" but always with an amateur ("for the love of it") approach.Being a proficient airbrush artist, the jump to computer graphics (Photoshop, Painter) wasn't all that hard for me, it was just a question of understanding how to employ the techniques to this new medium.
In july -02 I dug into the world of 3D rendering for the first time, in Bryce 5. A truly fascinating experience! My computer has been rendering ever since ;o)At the beginning I thought I'd be making lots of sci-fi stuff, but something happened right back from the early Bryce days: I started to look at trees and nature, the sky etc. in a new manner, or more intensely at least. I've always been a big fan of beautiful landscapes, and instead of sci-fi, I began a "quest" for 3D landscaping and beliveable environments.
Over the years, the 3D rendering has more or less taken over my creative endeavours. Vue became my application of choice from the start of 2003, with Poser, XFrog and Onyxtree as auxilliary programs. Plus a whole arsenal of new and ancient freeware, to be mentioned are Bantam3D Grass and Plantstudio.

Hey it looks so cool, amazing how you did the waterfall in Vue especially the splash. Nice volumetric lighting. The only thing I see is can you make the volumetric lighting more smooth (by increasing the quality in volumetric settings)? Still I give you an excellent one of the best Vue I have seen!

Very beautiful pict ! Bravo !

Really nice forest scene. Love the lighting through the trees and the mysterious shade in the woodland depths. One thing worries me though. To my eyes the line of the water approaching the falls doesn't look quite horizontal and therefore there's something weird going on here with gravity!

Thanks for your comments so far. I agree with "kindreds" on the volumetric light settings, they are a bit too grainy. Next time I use volumetrics I'll pay closer attention to that part. But I don't agree with DMFW about the water and the horizantal issue - to my eye, and through the terrain work involved, it is intended to depict "turbulence due to underwater bumps" - now, a turbulent stream isn't exactly "level", is it? Thanks again.

Nice image, well done :)

I rather like the graininess of the light, Lars; it reminds me of the thick, dusty, misty light you can see in deep forests. An excellent landscape, you have a real touch with them, always look forward to seeing your work. Simply superb!
