Description
Well, as you can plainly see, I am a complete and utter noobie to Vue. LOL. I bought Vue 7 Studio a couple of months ago - a bit hesitant about it as I was worried I would never get a handle on it, and I'd be as lost as I was in Carrara. But I was surprised to find I absolutely LOVE Vue. I find myself wanting to play in it more than I do DS (i feel like I'm cheating on DS...LOL)
I've been following tutorials over at geekatplay - of course, my end images never seem to look the same. :) There's a lot to learn in Vue (the manual is HOW many pages?????)but I'm actually enjoying it.
What I'm hoping is that I'll come back and look at this image in a couple of months and cringe at how bad it is - that I've learnt a lot more and got much much better than this pitiful offering. *laughs*
A bit of postwork in PS, to make it a little "warmer".

it's funny, i'm in pretty much the same boat, slowly tiptoeing around in vue while studio sleeps! baby steps. i have to say, though, this is a pretty darn good start! simple yet powerful. and an excellent title.
So what makes Vue different? Are you still able to use your Daz Library? And the title fits this image so well! Love the water and the clouds! Roni
Don't cringe if you do you may make me feel badly as I like this. Its conceptual! I love the title and the picture pretty much says it all! FAVE!
My dear, you are really on to something. You are obviously wired for Vue. This is a fantastic start. I can see why you're so enthused about your new program.
Yes this is very good work, has a surreal quality I like. Keep playing, you have a knack.
Excellent

Excellent image and well done! jaki
Excellent!!!!
I really like this one. It's surreal and cool. Love the water. Beautiful colors. A nice 'first'. :) Keep practicing - in no time you'll be a pro.
Very good light and scene.
You're Vue-ing!!! Awesome! I want to Vue when I should be working in studio lately too. Some constructive crit: If you use one of the meta water materials, you can get some coastal and wave foam - might look nice. Also right click on your water plane and edit object - then select 'displacement' and play with your wave settings. Might also look cool for this type of scene. For 'hero' trees (close to the camera like this) right click and edit object to go to the plant editor. Up the poly-count on the tree for a smoother tree. Looks great - love the camera angle and wide FOV, composition color and theme. I also really love the little 'jakiblue' tag.
I'd say not too bad a start...the image looks very nice! Wish I could afford Vue...maybe someday. Good luck learning it and I will be watching as you progress in your learning process. :)
