Description
...another work involving my technique with terrain made grass layers. (Of course it's not up to the standards of Vue 5 Infinite, but it works OK, IMHO.)
- 81 mio polys here, the majority is from the grass terrains. AND - funny thing - the file/scene behaved smoothly with the basic Vue objects and 80 mio polys, then I imported the flowers (made with XFrog) and the performance dropped tremendously.
Vue likes it's natives more than the immigrants :)
Vue 4.2 with grass terrain and a few "real" grass objects, white umbellifer flowers made in XFrog. Rendertime 4 hrs. (I may try to import the scene into Vue 5, for better lighting options, but I don't think it'll accept the polygon count).
Minor touch-up with Photoshop CS.
Thanks for looking and for any comments you might want to drop.
Have a nice day

Great work. And I've found the same thing happens sometimes with some of the flowers and plants I sometimes import. Don't know why.
Gorgeous pic. Well done :)
Great work with vegetations. Awesome image!
Great work. It has a lot of depth!
So do i understand correctly you have used a very spiky terrain for the grass? If so that is very clever and a fantastic result! Beautiful scene.
Very natural. Looks like Texas countryside to me.
It looks awesome. The grass is fantastic.
Amazing lighting and excellent idea with the idea, i bet alot of people wouldnt of thought of that!! Well doen!!
Beautiful, Lars, you really have a touch with that technique. Maybe it would help if you saved the XFrog flowers as vobs? Lovely meadow scene.
Very nice summer scene... the grass layers work extraordinary well: at first sight I thought that the picture is a typical Vue5 result :-)
A good piece Lars.
Beautiful landscape with a gorgeous summer atmosphere and great vegetation. Excellent work. Bravo!
Wonderful vegetation, very natural !
excellent work and technique. i had the same problems with xfrog.
Would you mind if I ask you to explain a little bit more about "grass terrains", the one you show us here is particularly fantastic. Thanks for your answer, and Bravo !!!
The grass is fantastic. I've got to learn how to do that (I have the tutorial filed away). It makes for such a natural look. You've created a beautiful image!
a very beautiful scense, should be an oil painting
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
