I am looking at a project that I either need to cobble together some really tough-to-match shots to create a landscape that sort of covers the breadth of North America, or I need to create that landscape in 3D. Unfortunately time is super tight, I have maybe a week to get it done. wondering if anyo…

I don’t know VUE, but it’s surprisingly easy to create a realistic looking forest with Forest Pro, VrayFog and a good tree library.

Thanks Marc. I have ForestPro, but I need more than just forests - mountains, rivers, fields of wheat, rocky coastline, etc. It’s beyond the scope of what I can model or do manually in the time I have (plus my two regular modelers are both out of commission for a couple of weeks, which doesn’t help…

If you don’t have time to model it in the time you have, knowing the tools that you already use.It will be even more difficult to do it with a tool that you don’t know at all

Vue is very easy to get hugely slow rendering results with. There’s a lot of idiosyncrasies that go with it that you only find out through a lot of continual use. I’ve no doubt that it and terragen are immensely powerful programs and either are the correct way to do what you’re asking but in a short…

Thanks for the insight John - very much appreciated. I do agree that finding a Vue artist is the way to go, but so far I haven’t had any luck finding one that is available. I have a few more feelers out but no word back, and was looking at a crash course as my last viable option. Vue has always inte…

Vue is quite amazing soft- but still buggy and quite hard to render. U can get really amazing results using vray in max n vue, just have to know which settings are useless and how to set it up. For instance Vue preloaded scene with sky renders for around 20 minuts on their settings, with mine vray …

m very impressed with the vue output in terms of photo realism specially for landscaping.. ( output of other guys, i have never experimented with vue myself ) but after reading several threads about its compatibility in terms or architectural visualization i am afraid if it is worth spending huge am…

Thanks Dadal and Prateek. My general feeling is that Vue has the stuff, but I don’t, and probably won’t have enough time to learn it for this project. Too much at risk if I miss the deadline. I’m waiting to talk to a Vue artist still, and hopefully that route will work. Appreciate all the insights…

Another good thing about Vue is the libraries are very affordable…one can buy a good collection for less than $15…You don’t have to pay full price for Vue, I got Vue several years ago in Ebay for 25% of the retail price and they allow to transfer the license so you could buy even an older version an…
