Description *UPDATE* 07/11/11
I've uploaded a higher resolution version at 2560x1440px.
It's now available as a print

*UPDATE* 24/05/11
I've added a depth of field blur to the image, using Nuke compositing software.

*UPDATE* 21/05/11
I added some more clouds in the sky hovering around the peak in the background and tweaked the aerial perspective, which gave the environment more depth.

---
I've been learning Vue for the past week or so and this is my first attempt at creating my own terrain.

I went for a photorealistic feel to the environment, using Vue to generate the mountains using procedural terrains and a multitude of variable sliders.
For texturing the snow and rocks I used a layered texture.

The environment took one day to complete.
This is a raw render of the scene with no postwork done.

Yeah, that's what I have a degree in that field for! I'd like to be an environment artist though

Thanks, it's one of the hardest fields to get work in so I'm going to need it! ^^
I'm in the process of creating an old apartment environment, which I've been working on since December. I post the finished props to my tumblr page if you'd like to check it out! > [link]

This is a GREAT render. I almost thought it was a photo. The only thing throwing the realism for me is the clouds. Particularly the one that has a sharp cut off into the large mountain the in background. I think something thicker, where you can see the substance of the cloud vertically as well as horizontally will help you bring the realism to its full effect when you can see the mountain breaking the cloud line. Really nice job on the mountains though, very believable!

Thanks for the kind comments, I really appreciate this kind of feedback so thanks for taking the time to write it out
I can see what you mean with the 'sharp' edged cloud, I will go back and try fixing it

You're welcome! 3D is one of my favorite mediums, so I always have to comment, lol.
Let me know when/if you update it! I'd love to see.

Ok, I will do ^^
In the meantime perhaps check out my gallery?
There's a heap of other 3D stuff in there and I'm working on a new environment at the moment too!

Isbrand [2011-11-27 10:47:26 +0000 UTC]

Very well done, I thought it was a photography at first but the mountain in the back kinda blew that cover. It is a very beautiful picture and if you worked some more on the depht on that huge mountain this could fool anyone to be a photograph

I'll keep that part about the 'depth' in mind as I might go back and correct it

LingLiJing [2011-11-27 10:38:29 +0000 UTC]

when I looked at it, I noticed the distant mountain and thought that it was from 3d modeling, and then I looked again and noticed the greater detail in the front and thought it's photography. It was until I read your descriptions that it is indeed from modeling and it's excellent! Was there any reference you made? It looks real!

DRSpaceman In reply to LingLiJing [2011-11-27 12:51:20 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a lot for your nice comments
I didn't use any references for this piece, neither did I model anything. That's not to say I didn't have any input on what it looks like.
It's all generated inside Vue using fractals to give it that high amount of detail you're seeing as well as the varying heights in the terrain.

O_O so it's a whole lot of mathematics into this and BAM?

DRSpaceman In reply to LingLiJing [2011-11-27 22:57:14 +0000 UTC]

Yes there's a lot of messing around with values and things to get it the way you'd like it to look.
Then of course there's the texturing part which is much the same.
