From the Vue workshop I did last year. Lots of comping in this one. My singing teacher Rebekah mentioned that we are all ‘working on the handicap’ (golfer talk). I guess that’s a good way to think.

Fooling around with hyperterrains. And endlessly tweaking the trees.

I’m reviewing the workshop I did with Scott Brisbane last year, before the course with Andres Rodriguez starts next week. I thought this render came out rather well. Geo compliments of Scott.

I had a lot of trouble rendering this. Network rendering wasn’t working very well, not sure why, so I ended up doing a lower res version than I really wanted on a single machine.

I’m looking forward to starting my new course in a couple of weeks. I’ll probably bomb out though, probably due to work pressure. Not sure that I’m really up to the demands either, so ‘work pressure’ is probably just an excuse. Talk about conflicted.

Solved the problem of the dead grass, and have redone this image with some greener grass and a different format.

These TPF maples use billboards, but there are three variations of the leaf image so there isn’t so much obvious repetition. There is still a bit so need to use carefully.

So here’s a quick comp – significant improvement on any of the individual shots. I’m sure if I spent a bit more time on it it would be quite good.
