Description
Vue8Frontier/DazStudio/Photoscape3.5/Photoshop
After using these alien plants in a couple of earlier Bryce renders,I feel that I have finally done them justice in Vue.The large Sunwatchers and the Oddstalks are from Daz3D's Alien Botanicals pack.and were imported from DazStudio(I added two Vue bump procedurals to the original texture of the Sunwatchers since the bump map didn't import with the model...I like these better anyway!).The other alien plant is the Pikaka from Cornucopia3D.Two procedural terrains create the setting...one for the swamp water(Vue's preset Polluted Water),the other the mud( preset mud material that I changed the colour production on and added a Smashed Peas bump and displacement procedural to).Atmo is the preset Stuffy,with Global Ambiance,soft shadows setting of 1.00 degrees and medium dark shadows added.Render took 35 hours at Final setting and 125 ppi.Postwork in Photoscape involved a light bloom effect and slight darkening of image...signature and resizing,along with some cloning of annoying artifacts done in Photoshop.Thanks for viewing and any comments!

Truly alien! These are some pretty weird looking plants. Great render and lighting.
Very imaginative. Last night I try to play with vue but nothing happen lol
This looks so realistic in the beautiful alien light! Well done.
Great image The plants look almost camouflaged into the landscape
great work with the textures on those plants:)
I love the textures and lighting
Great render!
Definitely the best looking render of those plants that I've ever see--and way ahead of anything I ever did with them. Fine work, Neil!
So Wonderful !!!!!
Great stuff... do you have the recipe for the alien soup?
very cool - that rough texture in particular on the plants. Nicely done!
