Description
Ok, this title is not correct but I just had to name it this. Brian and I were driving through Wisconsin and he said 'look at that herd of turkeys' he saw off in a field along the roadside. I teased him for a long time after after about the 'herd'. Not sure what a group of turkeys is called but I'm sure it is NOT a 'herd' :)
This is KenG's new turkey, just in time for Thanksgiving. Just in time if you celebrate Thanksgiving, that is. Very cool textures on this bird.
The frame is from Jean-Luc Airarn. I don't usually use frames but he has some very cool and unusual ones that can enhance an image. This is a nice leafy one...kind of deep woods feel to it.
I hope everyone is doing well and is happy this weekend. I just got home from preparing shepherd's pie for serving to the club's membership tomorrow night. I made it while the turkey raffle was going on and it took me 3 hours to prepare enough for 50 people. We didn't win a turkey...I left it up to Brian to win one but no luck. Free drinks while I cooked though :)
One last note (yes I know, I'm chatty tonight, lol)....my computer is STILL causing problems for me. I think it's the motherboard even thought the techie said it wasn't. The new video card is starting to act up. What else could it be? Two vid cards bad within one month? I think not..it's got to be the mobo.
I started this picture in Vue6Infinite but Vue kept crashing. Had to restart it in Bryce...good old Bryce :) I do think it's the mobo causing my problems though...not blaming Vue.
PS...what's with the 512kb size limit here? My pic won't upload...grrr...have to reduce colors to 256 to get it to load :(

A herd, huh? lmao. If you scare them do you get a stampede? Great render, Nancy! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for your never-ending computer troubles. Hanger in there! Hugs, Hol
Of course I've heard of turkeys!Fine image.
Beautiful scene. Lovely colors and composition. Looks like they are heading on vacation to avoid the Thanksgiving and Christmas rush lol. I thinkit's called a flock and sometimes a gaggle and I remember hearing somewhere a rafter. So take your pick. I like heard personally. lol
Awesome image!!
Beautiful I thought it was a photo
I don't know 'what the flock' a bunch of turkeys are called, but I like the picture and frame. Steve
They are very lifelike turky, could it be a flock of turkey?? lol Excellent.
You are probably thinking of a flock. A flock usually applies to a group of wild birds. I'm assuming these were wild turkeys or pheasants (the stupidest animal on the face of the Earth according to my dear departed Dad). Clever little scene here. Those turkeys are quite believable. Thanks for giving us the back story to it as well. I know what you mean about the 512kB limit too, I'm always running into it.
I've heard that Admiral Byrd was once stirred by a herd of birds. But then as his mind was a bit murky, he quickly became perky, and said that was not a herd of birds but a flock of turkeys. Er sumthin' like that. LOL Very cool render Nancy. Well done as always!
Too funny! I like herd!
A great image :) I thoroughly recommend Ken's turkeys a great new product from him
Very nice work!!!
a gaggle of geese.a herd of turkey-no matter an excellent work you have posted
won't be long and i'll be eating one of those little guys. maybe it's a covey or a flock.
I believe it is a flock of turkeys when live and a freezer load of turkeys when frozen. If Vue (Or any 3d App) crashes when constructing or rendering a scene, try only assembling the background, render it and use it as a camera backdrop for the meshes in front of it for a second render. You'll save lots of memory that way.
I look at these birds and it is so sad they get slaughtered in the millions year after year... I worked at a temp job shortly where they cut down aspen trees to paint white and stick in pots with lights... Aspens lose there leaves durring the fall, so basicly you're sticking sticks in a pot... I didn't feel like being in the holiday spirit when working on over 200 trees... Don't know who came up with a tradition to give a dead flower to a girl or put a dead tree in your house and put presents under - sorry I got on that kick... gobble,gobble.
Awesome realism and love the title (lol).
Maybe its a flock of Buffalo??? BY te way a bad or under sized power supply can cause the kind of problems you are having.
Really is a beautiful piece. I hear your pain. I've been working in Vue and it just doesn't have the same feel as Bryce, and it's really slow on my machine. And it won't let me render at large resolution like Bryce will. Oh well. Again, a superb render
Hey Nancy. Great piece. Realistic quality to it. A flock or rafter of Turkeys. I always thought it was a gobble of Turkeys, perhaps that's just thanksgiving dinner. LOL. I think this is the 4th comments I have had the time to make here in over a month. I really need to changes professions!!!!!!! Keep well.
LOL, herd of turkeys??? That's too funny, I would have teased him too. It is a nice texture on the bird though, and a cool image to boot!
It should be a flock of turkeys. I almost bought that turkey model yesterday. Now I wish I had. Very fine realism, Nancy. Almost thought it was a photo. In Kansas, they've successfully reintrouduced the wild turkey. Back in the 1960s or 1970s they were extinct in these parts. Now you see them all the time. The very first group introduced was back in the 1980s in my "homeland" county, Ottawa.
nice flock of turkeys!!!
wtg Nancy excellent well done
Hi Nancy, my friend. this is a great render, and I love the POV xxx
LMAO...no, it's a "case of Wild Turkey" thanx bartender ! hehe Now down to business, great render (even at a reduced colour palette)and it looks very photo-realistic...BRAVO ! As for your PeeCee, yup sounds like the Mobo, but I do find my Vue6-extreme is very unstable compared to Vue5-infinite ! You better lay off the cooking for the masses, otherwise you will be to pissed to cook at all, after drinking that case of Wild Turkeys...hehe Love Ya & ~Cheers~ :o)
Nice picture Nancy - love the frame too! :)
Superb Image! The realism is breathtaking! Beautiful frame too! 5++
a beautiful image Nancy, I love the colours and the hazy background. They are such curious creatures aren't they - they seem like they have just stepped out of the land of the dino's.
LOL! Fantastic composition and atmosphere. The herd/pack/group/band/gang/ruck/crowd of turkeys is very well done and they look very real. Jean-Luc's frames are very good and this one goes very well with the herd. 8-) Nice job.
