A Kid in a Candy Store


This is the best way I can describe what I was doing in January. As you have read, I have gotten new software called Vue that is for creating digital scenery and also is integrated with Poser so you can bring characters and props into it. I spent the month getting use to the basics of the software. I brought in many props including the house I had done that was basically our house with a ball room added where the living room was. I also brought in the studio I did in Poser.

The thing I am enjoying most is using it to generate landscapes. This is where it's real power is. I am currently doing a series of renders associated with winter and it is loosely based around the notion of an Alaskan cruise. At this point I have way more ideas than I do have time or ability to execute them. I have made a decision to spend more time trying to get higher quality images. By that I mean I am going to pay more attention to detail. Things like aging wood, putting extra little props in scene, trying to make the characters more realistic, adding features to the atmosphere, etc.

While I am tempted to blog about each new picture that I create, I may spare you from this. In any case, go check out the gallery at:

And if you don't see much blogging you know what is going on by checking in on the gallery every once in awhile. I will probably be posting to the gallery 3 or 4 times a week.
