Description

Dragons poser in Poser 4, the rest created and rendered in Vue. Only post work was a sharpen filter and the addition of my logo. The dragon skeleton by Anton, purchased at daz3d.com. I used the Mummy bump map by Quim, on the dragon for a quick effect. The other dragons and their textures from DAZ3d. -------------------------------- Concept: For decades the dragon's have searched for the remains of The One, the first and largest dragon. Finally, their search has come to an end on a small beach, south of the Cutting Ridge Mountain range. --------------- This is not a final work. I need some serious input from you Vue people. A lot about this picture bothers me, but I can't quite figure out what. I need some distance fog I would say, and maybe some depth of field? Any suggestions or tips are more then welcomed. Thanks and happy rendering.. --Eryk

It seems un antialiased, maybe it's that sharpen filter...looking good otherwise!

Curio, I think it is the sharpen filter...although I did only use a medium level antialias. Once I get the scene right I will go full out on that. Wiz, as for the fog, I really think you are right...I just have such a hard time with getting fog to look right...but I will work on it tonight. Thanks for the comments and encouragement, both of ya. :)

Cool picture, Eryk. Put some more anti-aliasing on it and lay off the "sharpen"! If you have the time to wait, you might want to render it in Ultra. I would up the terrain resolution a little bit more, and work on the bumps some. As for fog, well, it takes some getting used to, but start with some very small values. Vue 3's fog kinda sucks, IMHO, but that's only in terms of "ease of use", and it can be done, but with a whole lot of experimenting. Ambient/sunlight mixtures seem to have a good bit to do with how the fog works too. LIke I said, very small values at first. Otherwise, really neat composition. :)
