Description
It's a hazy summer afternoon.... The old, abandoned Millet Creamery building stands among the weeds, just begging to be explored...
My first attempt to do something besides messing with the pre-created scenes that come with Vue 10. The Millet Creamery is one of many excellent models by gaetan036. Drop by his gallery to see some of his superb work!
This is an incredible piece of software, but it's going to take a while to get halfway decent with it.. This scene took around 5 hours to render at 3360 X 2100. I've resized it to 1680 X 1050.
Thanks so much for all your wonderful comments, faves, and support! You all rock!!

Heh - Didn't even notice it until knightwolverine pointed it out..... I just grabbed 3 different plants from the selection that came with Vue - I didn't even look at the plant names. Seems the former owners of the creamery are cultivating a different crop these days... Wacky Tobakky! LOL!

nice work and lighting
Looks great! Perhaps a little more atmosphere and light play and you'll be well on your way with this. Great work for your first render with Vue. Lets see more :)
Rod this is so beautiful!! I love it! So how do you like Vue? Its been forever since I've used Vue...no time to learn much these days so I'm relying on you to keep posting awesome images for us! lol
Excellent work for a first attempt with vue Rod....love it.
A very fine shack! :)
LOl..Rod you ol' pothead you! Very cool Vue scene! I really need to use Vue more more myself, and yeah, it will take a while to get used to it.
It has been so long, so I am proably wrong but is that pot in your garden there...LOL
Excellent render, Rod!! Nice and quiet scene - is it because the police pass by? ;o)
Gorgeous realism dude :)
your treatment of the creamery reminds me of two painters, Andrew Wyeth & Edward Hopper. It has that bleak beauty, and that mix of bleached harsh light with deep shadows. Fine work with the lacy porch & balustrade to contrast with the broad shadowed areas around it; and fine work with the decay of the wall (exposing brick) and other types of decay throughout (ie, in the house shingles, in the vent shafts---if that's what they're called---, etc). I don't know what it takes to make all that light & shade, but it results in an expressive & highly complex structure. And you put it all in a landscape of rich greenery mixed with an almost barren ground. Fine sensibilities, could be northern New England or deep Midwest. If this is your first foray into this version of the software, you're off to a helluva start. My favs haven't worked for a bit, and I've been too lazy to fix them or write to the admins to fix them, so I haven't used them lately. But this is a fav. You can take my word on it, lol... (On the chance that you don't know Wyeth or Hopper, here are some samples. They're way too small---go find a huge jpg of art online! But they make the point. Four Wyeths, one Hopper. Not the funniest artists on earth, not known for their one-liners, but they sure knew how to capture the power of bleak mystery of abandoned spaces...They're here, here , here , here , and here .)
Five hours??? What dedication. But I can't wait to see you grow in Vue too. This looks superb and could easily be a building we'd bump into on our backroad adventures.
Nice use of my Creamery
