Description
This Centaur model was a gift from Antonio (Drakelot) which gave me an idea to use in a Vue scene.
I had to batter Vue6 into submission, it really gave me a lot grief...about 8x I rendered it, for hours and hours, only to lock-up and crash my PC, again and again !
This is the best result I could achieve, I really don't understand what's wrong with this program ? Has anyone got some suggestions ?
I only had 500,000 polygons, when I added a meta-cloud, that's when my problems started, but I really wanted the effect to complete the scene, it's not even a final render...but just a preview at a very large resolution, then shrunk in Photoshop.
Cheers jif3d :o)

Reminds me of that scene in LotR Fellowship. Very cool! Been seeing several people having Vue issues lately. I'd always heard it was ultra stable before now.

I do remember the trials & errors with 'Vue6', no other suggestions, then check with the experts at the forum perhaps !... A very neat presentation, never-the-less, and a great POV again, where do you get it ? Cheers BB

I agree with jdehaven on the LOTR and Argonauts feel to this one. I'd definitely say this one was worth the effort. Perhaps rendering 2 versions, one with and without the cloud, the merging the two in photoshop would work?

Gorgeous Jeff,, Only thing I've found that helps Vue render lockups is to purge memory before you start the rendor. Doesn't always help. But has helped a majority of the time. Now if we can figure out why Carrara 8 and 7 locks up(Black screen total crash) when I try and relocate a imported Poser firgure... Hope the purging helps...

This is a fantastic render Jeff and Im very proud to add this to my Fav collection. Vue and crashes are common place,I have upgraded to quad core and 16Gb ram custom built PC and those problems have gone away, I still prefer Poser.

Fantastic work my friend!!! XCellent!!! Antonio will love this one Jeff!! Be patient, Vue is not easy to use, I have a lot of problems with Vue 7 extreme, but keep on rocking!!!

This is just amazing Jeff. Perfect for one of your animations. I better start working on the Centaur figure, lol !!! Thanks a mill my rock and roll friend. I'll send the new stuff (Draky, The Babe, hercules (vers. 1000)lol ...) very soon now. Instant fav and to the studio wall. VUE is a mess for me too, lol !!!

This is awesome, Jeff. Really catches the Greek mythology feel. Nice use of the Centauro and love that boat. I've had Vue 5 for some time but never really used it. When I got it I had a lesser computer and it would choke on a simple scene so I never really got into it. Now I just upgraded to 7 and it seems to run okay on my new box but I haven't tried putting a complex scene together. You might try checking out the Vue forum. Anyway, as I said, Awesome scene here!

I agree ,really looks like a still from an epic fantasy adventure film.Love the twist on the camera which increases the effect.The scale of the statue again adds more along with the ambience a great all rounder!Thanks cal:)bye

Yes Vue can be a real pain and a number of times I have had to go back to Vue5. Excellent final scene and superb POV.... Beautiful creation...
