Description
Created with VUE PRO
If you want to know how I created this scene, you can read my tutorial that was published in Computer Arts magazine (March 2004 - English edition page 62)
Déja vu ? Partially yes - Same place, but different time and perspective...
After a short visit, kitshy deers have being sent back to their fairy tale poser world. In the calm dawn of following day, striders reappeared. Those majestic & big but skittish creatures came back for feeding. Their planet is located in central regions of Milky way, where distances between stars are much shorter than on galactic peripheries where Earth’s Sun can be found. In such highly crowded region, gravitational interactions between stars are frequent – since several hundred years striders home planet orbit started to shift slightly as consequence of close passage of a star. It resulted in profound climatic changes and destruction of natural habitats of many species. Indigenous civilization tries to protecting their endangered species. In feeding generators synthetic organisms are quickly grown on hydrocarbon nutrient.

Darkworld Designs for Land Strider model in poser format ( I applied a totally new texture )
All the rest was made in Vue - feeders were made from double terrains & boolean operations on primitives, alien plants were obtained by assembling of cactus & corals. Distant city was build from Â…. tableware shipped with Vue :-)
- 350 objects
- 4.5 mln polygons
- 15 lights
rendering time of 3500 x 2600 picture (resized later) - 30 hours (AMD Athlon 2000 + 1GB RAM)
Hope youÂ’ll like it :-) Now, I must go and try to find a way to get off
from Worm Blaster Virus that eat my antyvirus... and make a lot of mess inside
my computer (fortunately it attacked only my laptop - my desktop has no internet
connection) I never understood those stupid bastards who write viruses...
