1. More veggetation! i need to learn how to do some render passess, and work on different lighting and things. Render times are too high…. still missing textures but slowly working on that!

     

  2. Adding plants… =)

     

  3. Here… Finally finished most Macro modelling for the scene. Also, added vines (a free ivy generator, just set up, click and grow! Download free here), cleaned most meshes, and finally imported them into Softimage to run through UV’s and textures in Mudbox/Paint.net among other programs. I will add more geometry and objects when needed (obviously built in TS and exported later, it’s easy there), and will also work with Vue for more foilage. Most backgrounds are actually being made by hand/painted and will be projected through different cutout type background layouts.

    The sky I will probably make a few 360 maps from Vue, and throw them into half spheres.

    I will also freeze the trees, as you can integrate Vue to Sofimage, but I am not sure how the renders will be.

    Tutorialwise.. I need to start cramming in knowledge of hair, grass, foilage, textures, geometry painting, etc. I also should start learning ICE in softimage, which looks incredibly powerful!! But littly by little. It’s Christmas season, and the year’s work is over.. just take it chill…….

     

  4. NO WAY! Markus Vogt is one of the coolest scifi artists I’ve found! Incredible! He has this whole look and feel and the software he uses is somewhat refreashing! Like the fact that he has used Bryce, Vue and Cinema 4D over most traditional software the industry uses. He is about the art, not the programs. Take time to enjoy his art, for sure. =)

     

  5. This is my first Vue 9 Render I made. This program is very easy to use, leaving you to be creative and it is quick to create something. Now, that give you room to be creative once you know the program well!! It is a great engine. Do check it out!

    NEWS FLASH!

    I am going to study animation! I happened to stumble upon an animation internship, and they liked what I had done years ago, so now I can pick up where I left things off before I traveled and actually get my dream life more on the roll!! So.. I have a lot of programs to learn and projects to do! Hurrah!
