Description
...a new test with an "image-mapped" road texture combined with ecosystem work.
Vue 5 Infinite, Onyxtree, Bantam 3D "Grass 7", Photoshop CS & me :)
Only about 1 hr render in "Broadcast", global ambience with shadow maps.
(Because of the extremely high rez conifers I encountered several near-crashes, and Vue was very "reluctant" to render in other than "Preview" mode. So after another reboot and restart :) I decided to go for a Broadcast render in 1600x1200 anyway - but Vue DIDN'T OBJECT! So here it is.)
Postwork for minor corrections, framing & signature.
Thanks in advance for any comments etc. you may leave, they'll be very much appreciated.
Have a nice day

well done Lars you have captured the mood excellently
Man oh man! You really need to submit a tutorial on how you create roads like this. SUPER WORK.
How did you do the trees and the grass.
Looking very good!!!
wow, which very realistic render here! your work with the road is simply outstanding. as always, an excellent work, Lars! :)
Excellent work, almost thought it was a photo.
This is excellent, looks very realistic.
Stunning piece of realism.
Gorgeous and fantastic realistic image!!!!!!!!!bravissimo!:DDD.Hugsxx
Most excellent image! Very realistic. Bravo *****
Absolutely fantastic. It looks like a photo, very realistic. Very excellent work!
Thanks for your comments so far. Too bad, I accidently un-checked the ratings option, so the ranking will be poor :) About the road, you can read the comment in my ealier post, where it is explained. There's nothing much to it other than a lot of planning and "pre-work".
Great realism, excellent mood!
very realistic, beautiful composition!
Wow,.... excellent work, very well done.:)
I like it but I think there is a problem of scale because of the white painting on the road (problem between road and size of the grass); maybe, without this white line, the problem desappears?
I like this version much better - superb feel to this. I might reduce the scale of the bumps in the road by about half. Superb realism.
Great picture ! The background is so amazing, I first thought it was a hdri/photo environment !
Super, Lars...very realistic, you really have "the touch"!
Wow! This looks just like the road I drive to work! Beautiful and so real!
This is utterly beautiful Lars!!! Fantastic job ~ Bravo!!!! Expect momentarily to see a moose charging out of the woods, right across the road.
Well done :)
Wonderfully image, I can smell the pine in the humid air.
Wow, that is awesome. I really need to hunker down and learn Vue more.
Fantastic work!!!
The material is of excellent quality. It is very well composed.
Okay now, this is the VUE gallery not the PHOTO gallery! You've obviously gotten confused about which gallery you were in when you posted this. No, just kiddin'; this is an incredible rendering. Great sense of realism.
Wonderful work, very realist :)
This is stunning! Love the foggy atmosphere, the lovely vegetation and the road looks great here! Well done!
Nice job, guy. I like the atmosphere. Just the road texture that seems a little bit too big and not enough realistic. If you want, I've got a lot of ground tar ( is that the word in english? )given by an architect.
