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.

Excellent render! It looks very realistic. I especially like the DOF. Would you consider doing a couple of tutorials on creating your own Vue Mats, and the DOF?

Beautiful work!!! I love everything but the snake. I consider it fortunate not to encounter the evil beasts when I'm out walking! Outstanding texture for his slimy skin though. 10++++

Thanks for all your wonderful comments. I forgot to give "zxcvb" credit for the mushrooms models - SORRY. (From the freestuff, they've been re-textured by me). "reflash": Yes, I've been considering making exactly those tutorials. Earlier, I didn't think too much of the Vue DOF, thought it would be better to make some blurring in PS, but rendered at high settings (esp. top level antialiasing) it is very good and not all that "grainy". I started out to render this image with the high settings, but stopped it, since it would have taken at least 7 hrs. to render (and I was impatient to see the result). So, I think I'll make those tutorials. Thomas: Godt gennemskuet med korallerne ;o)

Fantastic picture. This huge amount of plants. I love the view of the trees and this piece of sky between them.
