BIO
My real name is Lars, and I live in Denmark. All my life I've been drawing and making pictures, occationally as a "professional" but always with an amateur ("for the love of it") approach.Being a proficient airbrush artist, the jump to computer graphics (Photoshop, Painter) wasn't all that hard for me, it was just a question of understanding how to employ the techniques to this new medium.
In july -02 I dug into the world of 3D rendering for the first time, in Bryce 5. A truly fascinating experience! My computer has been rendering ever since ;o)At the beginning I thought I'd be making lots of sci-fi stuff, but something happened right back from the early Bryce days: I started to look at trees and nature, the sky etc. in a new manner, or more intensely at least. I've always been a big fan of beautiful landscapes, and instead of sci-fi, I began a "quest" for 3D landscaping and beliveable environments.
Over the years, the 3D rendering has more or less taken over my creative endeavours. Vue became my application of choice from the start of 2003, with Poser, XFrog and Onyxtree as auxilliary programs. Plus a whole arsenal of new and ancient freeware, to be mentioned are Bantam3D Grass and Plantstudio.

Wow! What an amazing scene. I had to double check it wasn't photo. Beautiful work.

OK, these horses DO look much much much better, but I thought you were already using those in the first place and justnot setting the Diffuse, Ambient and Specular correctly or something, since a lot of those animals always seem to come with faaaaaaarrrrrr too much shine on them. They do that with humans too! When do you EVER see people with glossy skin, unless it's on purpose I mean. So, those are really good then, and I bought every last animal I could possibly buy with my points and then what ever I also needed to make them fully functional, as not everything was allowed to be used under that rebate thingy after we all got screwed on buying Hexagon2 at a so called presale price of $200, only to have DAZ sell it like the next day for $2.00! LOL So, we all got credits and I bought everything I could find, animal wise I mean. I have no use for humans.......mostly LOL Oh, and do you ever come back to these and reply when someone might post something worth replying to..orr...? :) Thanx and keep posting as we all love it! And yes, I mean even the older re-done scenes. Oh, and I gave you 2 stars for the better version, but my old 5 stars still stand, these are just on the modifications is all ;) Hey!, I'm about to do the very same thing now too in a newer version of Vue xStream, should be awesome! .................md :)

Thanks for your comments, really appreciated :)

Fantastic composition! Wonderful distribution of flowers, grass and trees! The realistic colours, do you achieve them mostly in the render or are correcting them in Photoshop important?
Jucce
Yes, the new horses looks better now. Good change.

For "matsmolund": Postwork is rarely that important in my pictures. It may be a little fine-tuning on the levels and often a subtle lens-glare effect (could be made as post-render directly in Vue), and occasionally lensblur DOF from the Vue depth/z-channel (could be done in Vue also, but much, much more swiftly in Photoshop, with acceptable results). Oh, and in this one, "real" postwork was done: The fence wires are "painted" in Photoshop, because the fence poles were remains from the original scene, where I already decided to make the wiring as postwork, instead of fiddling with some objects. That's just a matter of choice, the fence could be replaced with a full 3d object group. - Lars

I did write a comment for this but it didn’t turn up - perhaps I added it to my favs before hitting submit. Nevermind, I'll have to remember what I said... There is nothing in this image that remotely looks CG! I would be very happy if I could produce something half as good as this but I don't envy your PC's CPU to render this much grass!!! I did mention that I'd like to have a button to add ALL your images to my favourites but that may have been in another post. :) A rating of 5 is the highest I'm afraid. :(
EdKline
