Description
One of a few renderings of a model I made in Lightwave and textured completely in Vue5I.
There are 304,056,313 polies in this scene.
I used Grey Scale Maps for all the Material and Eco placements,
as well as for the Trestle texturing to show collected dirt areas.
And I used Vue Filters to adjust Eco Size FallOff in conjunction
with the Grey Scale Maps and placemet. I wanted the rocks to
look as though they were being eroded away by the elliments.
Oh, and I used the Z Buffer Vue rendered image for the DOF in PS.
Worked like a charm, using the PS CS2 Lens Blur filter.
This is the last image of this serries.
............md :)

Thanx, and I really went out of my way to make that trestle blend in with the dirt, like they really do in real life where the dirt erodes down the sides of the trestle. Also, I am already half way done with the train parts, i.e. the old steam engine and an old time passenger car to go along with it. I just need to finish some modeling on the engine and then texture the both of them. Maybe if I get some time, I can post up a couple of render shots of those two items? I'll see :) I still need to know where do I post up the materials I used for this scene, as some people here have requested I do so? Thanx tons Dig and it's good to see some of the people from the CG Talk forum hangin out over here! :) I sort of felt a little on my own when I first started posting here :) BTW, I remember that old story from when I was a kid, with the troll under the bridge, Billy Goats Gruff, or something like that LOL

I really like the way you integrated the two programs. You blended them so perfectly. The scene looks like many I have encountered.

I remember the peeks you posted of the train, so I'm really looking forward to seeing it have a 'home' crossing the desert.

Excellent realism and detail! can't wait to see it with a train on it.

The best so far - in my eyes. Not because of the texture, they are absolutely outstanding from first to this version, but because of the pov. A fantastic image! Now i hear the train coming very clearly! :-)))

Beautiful one!

Thanx, and I wanted to render at least one shot that showed a more to scale closer up view as though you were walking near the trestle. I've chilled out under those in the shade from the hot sun on many occasion :) The lizards don't seem to be afraid of you either, if you just chill out and relax, they'll come right up close and chill out with you while they search for bugs to eat or just find a warm spot to relax in LOL :) And if you're quiet, you can begin to hear all the birds out there chirp and flutter from one bush/rock to another. Just full of life out there :)

You sir have really mastered the terrain editor. Incredible work.

I love this POV. You really did a terrific job with the terrains, not to mention the materials & ecos. Oh, and the trestles,of course. Can't wait to see the train.
