Description
This was originally just a texture/render test with the Lilac plant from Cornucopia. After tweaking the materials (they needed it badly!) I liked the outcome, so I decided that the scene needed some butterflies. And based on the DAZ "Ulitmate Butterfly Collection" I made a "European Peacock" texture in Photoshop (from photo material), and this is the result :)
Both lilacs and peacock butterflies are very common in my country.
Vue 8.4 render, 3.5 hrs with GR and user settings. Lensblur DOF, levels correction, framing & signature with Photoshop.
(The lilac model and the included texture maps are very good. But the author Jan Walter Schliep (aka "Walli") needs to work a little on his Vue texturing skills :) What's with translucency of 1 m depth for a flower petal (instead of "backlight")? Also he suggests making the material "luminous". In a GR render it makes the materials act as light sources!)
Thanks for taking a look, comments etc. welcome and appreciated.
Have a nice weekend

Gee Lars, I have to say that I was sure this was a photograph and went down to statistics to see the camera details. The variations in the flower petals is outstanding!! I'm not a plant or landscape guy... but I know wonderfully done when I see it!
A great piece of work my friend!
no kidding, i swear i thought this was a photo when it first loaded. i had to see it's actually in the "Vue" gallery to realize this was a render. very very impressive.
Good work, Lars!
What a beautiful shot, Impressive and wonderful!
Spring is comming! Very good!
Amazing reality! I thought it was a photo at the first glance.
Outstanding work on reworking the textures!! That's an interesting butterfly you have created as well. The two go hand in hand very nicely. I give you a 10+!
I also thought this was a photo at first. Your understanding of materials and light is impressive.
This is extraordinarily well done. Fantastic. I also like everything else that you render. Great style!
Amazing reality,like to photo
Thought it was a photo, really fantastic work!
Wow, absolutely stunning! Looks just like the lilacs in my backyard right now. Fantastic work on the textures!
very realistic °
Super!!!
I thought I was in the photo gallery. Excellent work.
A test, turned into a rather stunningly realistic still life. I love it, it's gorgeous.
Stunning and realistic!
Really nice scene. I thought it was a photo until i saw your name. Great flowers and lighting! Excellent render.
Very photorealistic and beautiful! Great tweaking on mats and lighting, DOF.
excellent image Lars
How did you do that ? Incridibly realistic very well done ! Did you buy Vue 10 X STREAM ?
Extremely realistic - excellent render
Amazing. Excellent job.
I had to check for the Vue gallery as well, wonderful everything.
wow. i thought this was a photo. the only thing that tips it is that (viewed at full sizez) everything is a little too harsh, with not enough softness and blurring from SSS. incredible light. gorgeous colors. and a wonderful yet simple composition.
I thought it was a photo, had to double check it was in the Vue gallery. :-) Really well done and beautiful too.
Very well done.
Absolutely stunning. Excellent texturing.
