Description

Gaelic for Storm Clouds. This was done at 6000 pixels wide for a print and took 177 hours on a new iMac24 inch Duo core. High anti-alias and atmosphere settings. Goodness knows how long that would have taken on a PC, if it hadn't crashed in that time. (that's over 7 days! I think a PC would have hung myself) and I was using the Mac all week for photoshop work and surfing and uploading and it still never crashed. Made with a Mac! Oh the picture, I quite like it, and if I didn't I wasn't gonna re-render it again lol.

Wow, the longest I've gone so far is only 3 days. Good choice in contrasting cool and warm colors.

It's a wonderful picture but I could have done without all the Mac/PC crap.

Definitely one of the very best virtual skies I have seen! I am just about to get into Vue. I had some doubts regarding clouds, however this picture is very encouraging...

This is an awesome sunset - you and Vue did an awesome job! :) It is a georgous and photo-realistic render that looks more like a photograph than just about any I have ever seen- simply wonderful!
