Description
...actually this started out as something completely different - as a simple animation experiment with wind on Vue vegetation. After I finished the (simple) scene and the short, successful test, I kind of liked the basic setup, and thought: This should be an orchard, with fruit trees and everything. Well, I didn't have any fruit trees - but then it hit me: Could they be made with Vue leaf materials, converted to ecosystems with imported fruit objects? Yes, they can :)
Vue5I. Groundcover is eco work with plants made in the Vue plant editor - apart from the flowers, which are from Toucan. Trees are modified Vue trees, with fruits applied as ecosystems.
House is freestuff by "zippy" - thanks a lot!
2 hrs render in "Ultra" with Global Ambience.
Comments etc. very much welcome and appreciated.

most excellent well done
ahh i wish i could be there. :) smell the air.
Beautiful scene with a clever use of ecosystems. I'm new to Vue but hope to try this. I saw someone do a cherry tree this way also.
Very cool image! The trees with the fruit - amazing stuff!
A brilliant idea! A lovely orchard you have created.
Great job of lighting and a superb job of capturing natures's chaotic sense of order here!
Well done :)
Great work. Detail in the customised eco systems is outstanding. Sky could do with some working though!
This is luscious and absolutely spell-bindingly beautiful! Bravo!
This is a tremendous piece of work. I love the way you have also given the impression of a very carefully angled photograph, as though you were responding to the environment, rather than the environment being your (very inspired) creation.
Gorgeous work! Love those fruit trees. wonderful groundcover!
Very nice work Lars, I like your Eco- work and the athmosphare seems to be real. All in all, I would like to live there till the end of time !!!
Just luv that house!! A splendid scene beautifully POVed. :B eaver !
A beautifulu scenery, the idea for the fruits trees is wonderful...I'd like to be here and have some apples lol Excellently done:)
So quiet...
SUPER JOB!BRAVO!
Gorgeous image! Anything is just in the right place. :) Love it. *****
beautiful scene and composition
A calm melody came across my mind. Quiet and soft atmosphere! Terrific work!
Very realistic. Reminds me of my grand-parents' place in Normandy. Spent a lot of summers there when I was a kid Eating fruits under the trees
Wonderful image. Excellent use of ecosystem. Excellent work!
Marvellous!!!
This is really nice, whish our trees would have so many apples! Well done!!
Some the best always turn out well when least expecting them, superb scene the eco is smashing complimented with superb lighting.
So vivid. Very nice indeed.
Lovely render, with great attention to detail.
It almost as a holiday of Christmas (apples - as balls on fur-trees), only made in the summer. It is the valid holiday oppress!
Absolutely fantastic render. The lightning and the texture are very nice. Bravo!
Hey, I think you're teasing us. Spill the beans pal, just how did you get my cottage into the middle of a photograph, hmmm? Okay though, one criticism, I'm thinking you possibly slightly over did the reflection mapping on the cottage window glass.
I never seen this image from you. This image was made back in 2006, I gotta say you did very well on that image for the time being. I just read your notes, looks like it was made in the first generation of ecosystems (version 5).
