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.

This is what I don't like. We don't need any more skill regarding modeling, texture cration or what ever. Just take hold of these so called art software and viola, there it is.. Keeps guys like me who still does all his own modeling and whatever out of a job. Andre Alexander

Simply awesome work!!! Such a gorgeous, beautiful scene. Bravo!!!!

Don't let these kind of comments get you. Automated software will not replace talent... they just make some tedious task a little easier. It still requires attention to details, lighting, texturing and composition to get a picture right. I guess painters had the same kind of comments when photographers started making art with their cameras :)

I feel your pain, AndreElias. Maybe you should quit. BTW, I, and many others that use Vue have done modeling (Rhino), and texturing (Deep Paint and Photoshop), and I never found it all that demanding. But making a GOOD scene in Vue (like the above) takes skill and time. Lars, A+ work.

Thank you all for the comments - they are very much welcome. Now, of course I have to reply to the comment by "AndreElias", which I find a little misplaced. There is very little non-original work present here. Tree design is made (!) by me - I don't know if it qualifies as "modelling" as such, since I've used software designed for the purpose - but it is a result of meticuolous tampering with the available parameters to get the desired result. The same goes for the grass modelling (!). Texturing? - There is not one texture present here which is not reworked or completely made from scratch. Now - AndreElias - ask yourself - does an artist have to make his own brushes and grind and mix his own paint to make art, or can he rely on existing craftsmanship to be creative? And do you program your own modelling software? If not, then your point of view backfires immediately, IMO. Thanks again - Lars
