Vue is fast becoming my next targeted software. Ohhhhhhhh does the learning ever end. (arrr wouldnt want it any other way)

Pete
How long have you been trucking away at Vue?

Awesome work Pete, congrats!

Thanks.

Here is one I recently re-rendered, changing ecosystems and render settings.

The Gropius house.

Puaff

I can do it much better!

(It's a joke, hahahaha)

If you publish that Vue tutorials consider to do it thinking on the free version users please.
I was visiting your site, you have very good taste.

you're certainly on to something with that sketchup - vue workflow of yours, pete! These last three renders are very convincing! Top notch

olishea · 18 Jul 2009, 19:24

the vegetation is ridiculous (in a good way)! awesome I love it, you just keep raising the bar!

i'd like to see a few midgies flying about in the forest haha

great renders, pete! i am drooling all over my keyboard.

after seeing the picture i think i like to try the VUE

solo · 19 Jul 2009, 12:44

How about some drama...

Apocalyptic dawn.

olishea · 20 Jul 2009, 18:23

all you need now is a head bouncing down the steps (u seen apolcalypto?) rather tense atmosphere u've created there pete, kinda unsettling. I like it

2kemon · 20 Jul 2009, 19:16

nice one again, pete. Although I'm dying to see how the render would look, with the sunlight scattering through the dense vegetation. I think it would be an even more fantastic render with some vibrant light instead of the silhouette drama.

solo · 20 Jul 2009, 22:36

Okay, something different... in this image I used Alex's SU2Vue camera plugin and overlaid SU lines over a Vue integration render.

Richard Meier - Douglas House, Harbor Springs, Michigan, 1973.

olishea · 21 Jul 2009, 15:06

what is it with barcelona chairs?! im getting sick of them!

nice line over although it would be nice to see the complete render without the fading out bit.

marked001 · 21 Jul 2009, 15:24

i like the fade... but there is a very distinct line in the fade where it goes from color to white..that is bothering me. love that house though.

solo · 21 Jul 2009, 17:09

The fade was intentional, I needed to make it very obvious as this image was used in a tutorial for matching cameras.

I decided while I had the model mounted to render the exterior too, I added an ecosystem of high quality very heavy trees and set my atmosphere to a high gain GR, total polygons 8,646,194,152 and yet my machine still had 87% resources free (gotta love apps that eat poly's)

BTM · 21 Jul 2009, 17:28

… Now THAT's amazing!

Also, 8.6 billion poly's? How long did that take to render?

solo · 21 Jul 2009, 17:39

36 minutes.

These are awesome pete. Ur work is making me more and more interested in VUE. It is outstanding

have to have an answer for everything, huh?

thats crazy... i havent been paying close attention to the vue posts (the text, anyway)... do you place these trees... or does the program automatically generate a layout?

solo · 21 Jul 2009, 18:31

Jason

In Vue you have many ways of adding ecosystems/vegetation, you can do it the old way of individual placing, painting individual or a selection of vegetation or using the terrain function and populating according to materials, hieght, slope, species, distance from foriegn objects...you name it you can do it, you can also random rotate, size, and even color them individually while painting or populating, then there is the function editor, that can do anything you can think of, but understanding how it really works is the issue.
