Description
- The nobleman's little son and his escort/guardian, the knight, have been forced to take a break at the local forester/blacksmith/hunter deep in the forest. The horse had lost a shoe, and was beginning to limp and being irritable. Fortunately the forester was the man for the job...
- Second render of the "series" (it *could* become one).
First one can be viewed here
I finally got this one put together, one of my more complicated scenes. Mainly due to the characters, who needed dressing and posing, and also proved to be very tough on Vue (as expected *G*). I really struggled with resource drops and out-of-memory errors on preview renders. Vue, Poser and Photoshop for some levels adjustments and touch-ups.
Items from DAZ, CP, C3D and myself. Trees with Onyxtree.
Some artistic license taken :) The houses are probably a little too modern for this to be "realistic", but much to my surprise they actually had horseshoes as early as 500 A.D. in Europe. Not that it would have made any difference for the composition, it was a good idea for a scene anyway :)
Thanks for viewing and comments.
Have a nice day

Love this lighting and the way the forrest darkens as is wides along the path in the distance! You have outdone yourself with this Lars, it could be a still scene from a movie!!! 10 Stars for this work!!!!!!!!!!
EXCELLENT
So well done!! Amazing scene! The poses, light, details are awesome! Great work! 5!:)
i think you did a much better job posing this one. it feels much more realistic. the materials on the clothes, skin, and animals seem better too, though your landscape and botanical materials still surpass them. considering how much more experience you've had with them, that's not surprising.
Always amazing. Great detailed ground and superb lighting. All the poses are very natural and beleivable, slouching here, leaning there. Awesome.
Incredible work on this one, the characters are wonderful and I really the love the leaves and sticks in the bare dirt area.
Nice job on the poses and composition.
Impressive work.
Great Picture.
Very realistic scene! A masterpiece, all is perfect and with fantastic light! Love all your Vue works!
Wonderful. The forest in the background is extremely inviting! I have given this a score of '5', as i think it is truely marvellous and leaves no room for improvement.
At first glance it is obvious that this is great art. When I study this closely that assessment is confirmed over and over again. Not to minimize the skillfully constructed environment but what really breathes life into this is the the human interest, the evident storyline, the moment in time. Truly remarkable.
Very pretty scene, excellent work!
speechless! love it.
Another fine example of superlative lighting!
a beautiful picture very peaceful ^ ^ I love
An excellent and wonderful detailed image! Great art!
That would crash my old computer for sure. Wonderful sunny and interesting scene!
This looks so nice. Love this a lot.
Cant wait till RPGs look this good
Absolutely superb work. You have really captured the feel that such a place would have.
