Description
Oh man, this one was a really challenging one...
I don't know whom of you saw my post in the forum about having troubles to get this image rendered, since I was in serious trouble while doing this image. Vue kept on crashing while I tried to render at large size. Don't ask how long it took me to find out the reason for the crashes!!! Loads of test renders later I found out it was the procedural texture used for the cave which made Vue crash. In the end I had to render the four layers seperately and stitched them together in Photoshop afterwards. A lot of retouching and color correction was done in the next steps. Afterall I

Well, what counts is the result - and that is excellent. We are all happy that it worked out and that you now are able to produce a lot more images! :-))) Go for it Phil, go for it! Of course some extra strokes for this Woikal!

The light looks so good--it is like stage lighting for the wonderful, wonderful dragon. (And yes, the dragon is big too--I have trouble with him in Poser) The work you put into the cave really paid off, too! My one suggestion would be that you watermark this image--it has so much commercial appeal you may see it plastered on mugs and mousepads if you aren't careful!

A lot of work indeed but the end result is a very stunning, beautifully done scene ~ Bravo!

Do you think he'll share his gold? I'm glad this one worked out for you. It was well worth the trouble. Congrats on getting it rendered and put together!

looks like a model, something as a kid I would of loved to have glued and painted.

Well done, it was worth the effort.

It's fantastic, the composition is magnificent and I don't think I would have had the patience to put so many elements into a scene like that. My computer would probably cry trying to render it. Certainly worth it.

Wow, very cool - I wouldn't have expected that such a scenario (especially the pile of gold) could be realized with Vue so well. Excellent work!
cordisco
