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.

Well worth the effort in rendertime and crashes - excellent image - Well done!! (You know what they say - imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!)

Beautiful! I love the grass with wildflowers. And the lighting is wonderful.
Flycatcher
I haven't seen the original inspiration for this piece, so can't compare, but I think you have done a very good job with this scene. I agree with Lingrif - the ground-cover vegetation and the lighting are outstanding. My only quibble is with the bark texture on the trees - it doesn't seem true to life for this kind of conifer.

Excellent image. The blue flowers are a great touch and connect nicely with the sky.

Wonderful scenery! It somehow reminds reminds me of a place in the Austrian alps where I go sometimes. Well done! :)

You captured another vision than that of the inspirational pic... like later in the season, (grass is older... )and chose to keep verticality for trees . filiation is not that obvious and I find it a great original image!

Very unusual scene in Vue gallery - bravos for "nonstandard" vegetation - especially grass - how many polygons ? Excellent!
bigbraader
Thanks for all your kind comments - I really appreciate them. The scene wasn't that polygon heavy, about 7 mio. By far the most polygons come from the trees, and not (foreground) grasscover, which is made with about 1200 grass objects adding up to 1 mio. polys.
