Ooh gotcha.

Our stage is, of course, made of wood planks. Since all woods require it to be bought, i'm using a maple bark. You got any ideas for a material?

Not a clue.

I'm an exterior type person. I like the outdoors. I'm not good with creating indoor things.

Yeah. I did the stage - just need to find a material for the stage. A plain black could probably work in class. The flat, which cuts off half the stage (I used a large cube underground and cut it off half to make a rectangle stage shape) is checkered - but later will add pictures. I'll be making set models and convert them to pictures, add them to the flat like it would be at a performance.

All theaters have a slope from front to back row. I can't get the slope at all. I tried an alpha plane but I can't tilt it level to save my life.

...are you using VUE to do all this?

sadly yes.


All I need is a stage, a slope showing the audience (chairs optional), a back room with a window in the middle back, a flat on the stage I can put a picture on, and walls to keep a sense of place. I may need the lights. I added multiple cameras on my Vue Scene so I can just click one. It will be projected on the board in class next year and we can draw on it. It should speed up productions a motherload.

Anyhow keep it up I'm sure you'll get there one day.

On the comments it said 2 weeks.

Sorry I haven't been around in some time. I've been really busy with some summer projects going on, but I'll try to keep updating this thread. Here is something I've been tinkering with lately. I hope you guys like it.



It's a desert canyon. 'Nuff said. I think the sunbeams work really well, but the canyon itself looks rather bland. Plenty of stuff to work with.

Not bad, real nice atmosphere.

The canyons could use some manual shaping, cause, those spiky things, they don't look right at all. I've had the same problem with Vue 8. For some reason it puts annoying spikes everywhere.

I thought I saw an ocean at first so I thought.. below the second level of canyons you should try making it ocean!

Canyons. Deserts.Ocean.

Jarrhead, what sort of sense does that make?

Perfect sense.

You're thinking of cliffs.

What I made is supposed be a desert canyon rock formation, not a cliff.

I'm trying to see something cool.

Well, after-all, I guess it's only computer art. No reason I can't do some weird things.

Not like you're selling it.

That's a good idea.. Make models and sell them on the website.

It's usually the strange art which is best anyways.

There's one major error in that render. The view distance is very low, which indicates very high humidity, but you said it is a desert. If anything, you'd expect a very high view distance. I guess you could explain it as a sand storm, but dust wouldn't fly that high.

Still, I love the lighting. That's one of the most impressive things about the VUE rendering engine, the light looks so real

Yes, I know. It is one of the most satisfying things about Vue.

What especially pleases me are the atmospheres, which can dramatically change the tone of your scene.

I was goofing off.

My goofing off resulted in Face Island:

Nice! lolololol


My idea of an ocean-side cliff would fix the problem with your humidity! :p


Just though I'd tell you the ocean cuts off in the top right corner. May want to reposition it.

It's not cut off, it's just that the terrain used in the face extends to that point, and is visible through the water. But, yeah, I'll try to fix that.

Sorry, I've kind of abandoned the cliffs.

I'm pretty sure this is some kind of ice berg.

on what planet? Nibiru? lol
