Description
...an impression of a beech forest in May in my country, where the "wild garlic" may be locally abundant. When blooming they are an impressive sight, uniform in apperance and in large numbers. (As a herb, in the kitchen, the plant is delicius, if you like a mild garlic taste).
Vue5I, Onyxtree, Bantam3D "Grass", XFrog, and Photoshop (mainly for colour/levels correction). Except for the blue "Forget-Me-Nots" from Toucan, all the objects and texures are my work, the "Wild Garlic" flowers are modelled from scratch in XFrog.
1.600 mio polys, rendered in a little more than 7 hrs. in "Broadcast" mode with Global Illumination.
Thanks for viewing, hope you like this. Comments etc. more than welcome and very much appreciated.
Have a nice weekend

Lilke the feel of it a lot. great perspective and light. only crit - u could have put 2 types of flowers, but that's just me
Photo realistic...!!!!
This is sooo good, it's probably illegal.;-)
Fantastic landscape.
Why didn't I see this before.. anyway, this is so realistic, you want to step into the picture and take a walk. Well done doesn't cover it.. just amazing..
Superb, excellent work, reminds me of the woodland near me.
beautiful work in vue
Really great !!!!
That is just bloody excellent!!
nice perspective,lots of green
Hey, you're a really vue-expert!! Wonderful!! This plants, this background, just perfect!!!
Lars, your work is prolific and of such painstaking, detailed craftsmanship and excellence that it lies outside of and beyond the rating system. I could comment on more than half of your gallery, but then I wouldn't get to work, dinner nor sleep ; ) Thanks for your tireless work and inspiration to us all. Marco
This is truly one of the best forest images there is.
This is beautiful, thanks for the light.
A very realistic image, Lars. Lighting, and render time, are real 'killers' but you have struck the right balance. Your composition is very well thought out. Mine, by comparison, is just learning. I am sure we would all want to walk through this glade. It looks so peaceful ( and considering high winds and gusty rain, much drier and desirable than Glasgow - the Green Place ;o) ). 5 stars, without question, my friend. Regards, John.
Woww fantastic image!!
Wonderful scene.
exceptional!
This can't be any better. Great work of art!
Gorgeous work!!!!!! Can almost smell the Garlic...
fantastic image
Well by the amount of positive comments on this image I'd say you've out done yourself Lars. I don't recall ever seeing wild garlic growing in the wild but it sure looks amazing here. Great work displaying this and even more in your abilities in creating a lot of what you show us.
Beautiful and peaceful place. Great work and realistic image. I love it.
I am SO IMPRESSED! Everything is so well done,I gasped,drooled,and then showed it to my household of artists...the consensus was AWSOME WORK!
wish I was as good enough to create images like this ...
I LOVE wild garlic!!! Wonderful scene!
fabulous image; i'd like one of those in my garden (if i had one).
Fantastic and marvelous art. Beautiful. =D
What a scene! You prove that Vue is a wonderfull rendering software! I've just got Vue 7, but desapointed of it. I keep Vue 6, for the moment. It seems like photo. Very good job!
Excellent work and very lush!
