Description
Rarely have I come across a product so unique that I have spent time to share my experience with it.
Recently wabe contacted me and asked if I would test his moss pak to ensure it would worked on Vue 6 Inf. I agreed. My feelings were rather neutral about it until I installed it and began using it for the first time.
It is very realistic and he has provided so many color and plant varities with his creation of many ecosystems that I came away very thoroughly impressed.
There are lots of plant paks and texture paks out there that have knocked my eyes out but this creative idea of his not only impressed me visually but also wooed me by its innovation. No one else has thought one up (at least not like this). The abilty to incorporate realistic moss into my images has always been missing and I never realised it.
Perhaps one of the most favorable features of it, besides its looks, is how system resource friendly it is. This entire scene took only an 8% hit on my system resources. After populating all the other plants in the scene I added thousands of moss instances and my system never knew it.
I can't wait to see what others are able to do with it. In my opinion, he has not created another product to compete with the thousands of others which are available, but instead, he has invented a product that brings an entirely new approach and ability to Vue.

looks great!
absolutely beautiful!
Sublime!
It looks fantastic!! The best I had done with Bryce involved a photo-texture but it suffered if and when viewed askew. Now I want a "moss-man"! I remember the scary stories at cub scout camp - he'd appear out of the dark, mossy river bank, and eat you alive! That is, unless you drew a big "X" on the window screen by your bunk-bed, using an old black-walnut husk. Needless to say, all the screens had big Xs from all the previous years, but it was still scary. I always put a fresh and quite dark "X" on my screen! Now I think of it, never mind, maybe I don't want to see a realistic moss-man!
Very nice scene. The moss looks great! Nice work.
This looks very good - Yes I learned quickly when I started looking at vegitation products that you needed quality and low resources in order to really make use of the product. Good news indeed.
Sheesh that's some fine work! Great job Gary, and Walther!

Super creation of a product indeed and beautifully shown here by yourself!
A brilliant showcase, it looks very good indeed.
Fantastic "promo" pic - that's what a marketing person (which I am in my daily job) calls demand generation. I can barely wait to get my hands on this amazing product! :)
Great image, great light and composition. The moss looks really good.
i have to say that the moss does look brilliant.
Fantastic work.
The moss does look excellent. The rest of the image is also outstanding. Nice work.
Good to see something else that pushes what vue is capable of, looks interesting - great potential, and nicely executed image.
Awesome work! Very well done!
Can I say I hate you now ? :) I can't wait for this to hit the store. I have so many ideas for this stuff
I'm a moss lover, I admit it. I grow moss and love the fact that someone has finally created some truly great moss. You have done a great job in showing off this new creation.
Amazing realism! I'll have to check it out. Cool scene BTW.
Fantastic !!!!
Excellent presentation of the moss, a fine picture all together.
The more I see pictures showing the moss pack, the more I want/need it ! Your great lighting doesn't hurt too !
