Description
Image made with WorldBuilder Pro 4 with Xfrog plants...
Most folks like to do pictures in software that is at the latest technology or at the latest capabilities, I am a little different in that area, I sometimes like to work on older software that is hardly ever in use such as Worldbuilder or Bryce and challenge myself with it to images that appears it is really not outdated.
Even though this software was last updated in 2004, (and most likely it will not be updated) there is still quite a bit of power in the program....I have found some things in Worldbuilder that Vue 8 have not yet come up with yet which that software I also have.
Spent most of the time on little details such as leaves on ground, sticks, algae, etc.....
Too bad I had to downscale the size and decrease the quality a bit to fit renderosity 500 mb file size limit ...(originally the render was 3000 pixels with a crisp quality!!). I may post it at deviantart soon for you to see it in full size.
I say to this program "good ole Worldbuilder"...

Excellent
This is simply amazing! The lighting and shadows are perfect. The time spent on the details was well worth it. I would love to see it full size. You have coaxed the software into magical places!
You are proof that it is not the software that creates the great art but the artist that wields the mastery. You definitely have that mastery. This is absolutely stunning. Even at his resolution your work shines. Superb!!!
Phillip this is a wonderful image my friend, and your point was well made here.
Very beautiful! And I second psyoshida....even downsized the crispness of your detailed work come through! Bravo!
Sensational! Nothing wrong with the old school. ;)
Very nice work , well done...
amazing work...you are rigth ..old don´t have to mean bad.
The detail and realism are amazing - you are clearly right to keep using the software if it can produce this!
Very beautiful!
Fantastic scene... love all the details and the subtil lighting ! Amazing work !! In French we say that it's in the old pans that we make the best cooking :)
A beautiful render!!
Well done. Lovely scene
Wonderful image.
excellent image, great render!!!
Superb arangement!
You just get comfortable with certain work flows. For example, I continue to use Poser 7 for rendering because I'm still getting comfortable with Vue--that, and I don't care to spend the money on SkinVue. Every Poser character I import into Vue ends up looking like a freakin' porcupine because of Vue's crazy bump settings. -_- Anyway, that's the end of my rant and very nice image, doesn't look outdated at all. :)
Really nice scene. Great lighting, especially through the foreground tree! Excellent work!
Looks great, excellent lighting and foliage translucency. 5*
This is beautiful! Wonderful lighting and detail! I love the highlights on the branches and grass, the deep shadows in the foreground, and the bright bleached out area in the distance. Excellent reflections. Lovely image!
Excellent work! The lighting and shadow work are awesome!
Beautiful scenery.....well done ! I kept on searching for Maddie...and her bubbleblower...;-)
Nice pond scene.
This is such a peaceful setting, so serene. This is wonderful, Phillip and anyone can buy the new and latest tech toys. Not everyone can work magic. You're an artist that coaxes magic from every image, no matter what program you use. The shadow and light work here is stunning.
Beautiful view and landscape scene, excellent done.
amazing what you do in this programm, Phillip, you really have a hand for those serene and soothing scenes
Great work on the details Philip!
This is really outstanding work. Having just started fooling around with Vue and having been using Carrara in the past for all my landscapes, I am always amazed when someone does one as good as this! Never tried Worldbuilder, but you do it justice in this render!
Very beautiful and very nice!
Such a beautiful scene! I like the play of shadows and light and the stones on the path. I also like the flowering bushes, they give some color to the scene. :)
