Beor mountains 1.5 is rendering.
I am working on a second part to your desert noogah, where there are mountains covered in sand.
Oh really? Good luck. :)
Assuming you do figure it out, it'll be one headache unless you have a powerful computer.
What are your computer specs?
And, I don't get what you mean. Australian desert had lots of sand.
I was just messing around man.
I have a low-res much more fitting version and a high-res mountain that's cool.
I had serious trouble with the lighting on the mountain though. And the clouds.

The mountain was just for fun, it doesn't fit nearly as well as the first.

Also,
Are there any FREE models? I'm seriously looking to make some good environments. Maybe the Flux's forest.
Beor Mountains 1.5 is now finished.
Okay, now this is getting ridiculous. Mountains are so hard, and right now, Beor isn't looking too good. Two things that bother me right now are the high reflectivity of the surface, and the lighting in general.
It needs a lot of work.
Here's my suggestion from novice experience:
Don't buy anything.
Learn how to make incredible things from scratch, and you'll be far more statisfied with yourself.
Besides, most packages are REALLY expensive.
BTW, I commend your effort to imitate Australian Desert. I'm surprised by how close it looks!
Well of course i'm not buying anything. Just wondering if anything is free. I mean come on, $20 for a cathedral? LOL!
Every time I try to make mountains I hit the roof and it just cuts off the top, leaving me with a flat mountain.
What you should do is, use a program like Cinema 4D or 3Ds Max, or whatever, to model objects. Then export them in a format Vue will take, then import it into the Vue scene, and then work from there.
Because as you said, those models are a rip off, and yea, it is more of a sense of achievement when you do it yourself.
And no, I don't think there are any free models, except what come with Vue, but most of them are rubbish, or not useful.
Yeah, mountains are hard noogah. The snow is great but the trees could use some work. I don't think there'd be trees over seven miles in the air (if i remember eragon correctly) as there's barely any oxygen. The snow would be ice or nonexistant.
Where do you get seven miles from?
And, btw, there is no limit to how high you can make a mountain.
It always cuts it off after a certain point. Then it just makes the top flat. I hit a gray roof. It will keep rising but will only render up to that gray spot. Making it difficult to do mountains.
Heh heh.
Try and figure it out.
If you can't get it, I'll tell you. It's really quite simple, actually.
I can't get it. lol

Try fiddling around with the Z axis.
oh snap i fail.
Okay, I wanna do something really big again. like the Austrlian desert.
But right now, I have no inspiration. i'm going through an artistic dry spell.
Any suggestions for a big landscape that would look totally cool?
Make a moon of a big gas planet. With water. Preferrably cliff-edged oceans.
...that's a bit much. And, do I detect a hint of Pandora? ;)
Could we try something a tad bit smaller?
no hint of pandora, I was thinking of something lunar.
Hey, I've got a great idea.
Since i'll be doing set/light designs with this program, you up to doing a model of my school auditorium? I'll ask my teacher to get pictures of the room and the lights and all.
:D
I haven't done anything interior yet.
I'd have to read some tutorials and get used to it first.
I was bored, so I made an island.
Island 1.0
I like it so much, I'll probably make a 1.5, and 2.0.
That one is very good Noogah! Try doing a render where the camera is closer to the water, so that you can mainly just see the island's silhouette and the moon and less water. I think that composition might be more interesting.
Also, try bumping up the anti-aliasing level a notch if you can.
I feel like jumping off of a skyscraper.
Turns out I didn't save the original file. :roll: Oh well. I'll try replicating it as best I can with your reccomendations marvo.
