Description
This Centaur model was a gift from Antonio (Drakelot) which gave me an idea to use in a Vue scene.
I had to batter Vue6 into submission, it really gave me a lot grief...about 8x I rendered it, for hours and hours, only to lock-up and crash my PC, again and again !
This is the best result I could achieve, I really don't understand what's wrong with this program ? Has anyone got some suggestions ?
I only had 500,000 polygons, when I added a meta-cloud, that's when my problems started, but I really wanted the effect to complete the scene, it's not even a final render...but just a preview at a very large resolution, then shrunk in Photoshop.
Cheers jif3d :o)

marveolus scene and excellent work....Bravissimo..!!!!
WONDERFUL IMAGE
Excellent image Jeff... Vue doesn't always play nice... I don't think e-on does proper quality testing of their program which frustrates many of their users including you & me...
Oooh tell me about Vue and crash city Arizona... Glad you persevered Jeff! Looks superb! The water and textures look great! Wonderful dedi too!
Fantastic scene! You made my day!
Very nice work. What version of Vue are you using? Depends on your computer too. Water + MetaCloud = Really high system usage, at least in my experience with V6I. Thanks for sticking with it! It's a great image.
WOW!!! It's really beautiful image!!! Farytale-like! I like it very much!!! :)
Great picture, the camera angle really adds to it.
Excellent piece of work Jeff, wonderful gift for Antonio. I never really got the hang of Vue but you made it work.
Excellent fantasy scene! Very well done.
From the looks of this you finally got Vue to submit, lol! Great work, love the whole scene!
Really lovely, dramatic image. I like the perspective a lot.
ah... he centaur of attention? sorry.... cool version, lighting is just right! again, very cool
Fantastic work!
Wow, what a great dramatic image. Love the scale. Sorry I can't help you in the Vue dept. CC
Superb concept, great PoV, textures and lighting. Don't know anything about Vue but I know that feeling after hours of Rendering and it goes Poof from MJW. And I always figured Dual Processors and 4 Gig of Ram could handel anything Peace
Outstanding!
Fabulous work on the centaur and I love the perspective and lighting Jeff. Unfortunately I don't have Vue at all, so I can't really give any advice on that one.
interesting
Wow. Your image is great.
Fantastic scene! excellent lighting and the centaur and textures are wonderful, excellent work!
Nice shader work on the rocks !
Very good POV and scene. Very reflect and render.
Awesome work!! Great POV!!
A very cinematic scene- I like the clouds partially covering the mountaintop in the upper left. The arrangement with statue kinda reminds me of scenes from "Jason and the Argonauts" and also "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy (I forget which one has those two statues guarding the water entrance)- love the point of view too. Very nice piece!
Excellent scene Jeff :)
Very nice work ,Great POV!!
wow! amazing work
Es una escena espléndida! la prespectiva y esa nube que te dió tanto trabajo realmente enriquecen la imágen, muy bien hecho!
This is a super preview. I love how you have done that water it looks amazing. I know that frustrating feeling when the render doesn't go right but I can't solve your problems I'm afraid. I hope someone can.
