Description

Hi - it's been a while huh? Work and real life have been cutting into my art time lately but I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things soon. I spent some time playing around with the pre-release version of Vue8i. This is an infinite procedural terrain with the new recusion node added into the terrain generation function. The recursion node is used for creating weathered sediment layers. Rendered with Global Radiosity lighting and a spectral sky. This took an overnight and then some at the original width of 1920 pixels, I'm not sure they've finished the optomization with this version, but the new features are fun to play with. Thanks as always for looking and commenting.

We should all be able to throw away our camera's soon with cgi of this quality. very realistic render, and well worth the overnighter :)

You'd been gone so long I was starting worry. Very glad to see you back. Those new features look spectacular! Love the play of light and shadows in this one.

this is the first Vue render I've actually mistaken for a photograph. not that i haven't seen some impressive realism and some incredible work. it's just that this really hits the mark. i actually got confused and thought i had clicked on one of the photographers i follow (one of whom has just begun posting landscapes again). great landscape, and wonderful materials.
