Description
Ever since I saw the "Wizard of Oz" as a little girl, tornadoes have scared the poop outta me. And I can't say that I'm much of a storm chaser these days either.
However, unless you own a home in it's path and can view the whole thing from a safe distance, it can be rather fascinating. Or maybe that's just me. But it is an amazing force coming out of nowhere.
Everything except from the tornado was rendered in Vue 6 xStream. I had to paint the tornado in Photoshop since after a lot of trials and errors I finally gave up on creating one in Vue.
I think I managed to shape clouds into just about everything EXCEPT a tornado...LOL
And I'm sure that there are inaccurate details in this. The foreground was left empty on purpose btw...just added a terrain to keep it from being so flat.
Thanks for peeking and thank yous for your comments on my last render :D

Can't say I'm keen on them either - especially since we seem to be getting more lately! But, you've created a wonderful scene in Vue with this. I experiment every now and again trying to get a good one in Vue but not managed it yet. Your postworked on is super!

Well seeing you have done the clouds in PS is somewhat more extraordinary and certainly no mean feat in my eyes. Everything blends together very well. Excellent work, I don't blame you for being scared of these forces in nature.

nice work in Photoshop and Vue together. I went ahead to save you as one of my favorite artists since you explain well on each image how you did things plus i peeked at your gallery, marvelous work done both Photoshop and Vue.
