Description
Hi - 'bout time I posted something...
"Stone Buddha" was rendered in Vue 8.5i. Technique-wise this is more or less the same type of lighting and atmosphere as my previous piece "Amid the Ruins."
I used one of the Buddha statues from Dreamscape-Creations available at DAZ and re-textured it with some rock materials from Monsoon's "Rock of Ages" collection. The Ivy was created in Tom Luft's excellent "Ivy Generator" and the moss is an ecosystem product from Wabe available at Cornucopia.
Depth of field was done in Photoshop using the ZBuffer pass from Vue.
As always, any comments or critique are most welcome and appreciated. Suggestions for improvement are always noted for future reference :)

Outstanding and amazing work! Material, vegetation...and of course the lighting are excellent.

This looks so real. Had to double check if it was a photo.

this came out excellently. i like the light a lot. the foliage is incredibly natural. i wish the statue wasn't quite so bright in spots (they draw my eye too strongly to unimportant points), and the DOF is a little to uniform in x and y, but those are very minor points. you've definitely mastered building environments in Vue.

That is magnificent, I love the mossy texture on the statue, and that ivy looks wonderful. What really makes this truly magical, though, is that lush low-angle light. It really fills this scene with the perfect sense of wonder. Great job!
