Escher, Vue, DeeVee.....mixed up

Community
#1

Just lately Escher ghosted through this forum, and left - again - a lasting impression:

  • stairs and other hard stuff: TS
  • Plants: Zbrush (some are NURBS out of TS, but I like those ZBrush-veggies best)
  • Stick figures: Poser (sorry for that)
  • assembled, rendered in Vue 4.2

What it is? Just don’t ask me! :wink:
But, there is a small part of Escher there (way to the left), and there are those O2-emitting plants (right side).

While Deevee (from what I’ve seen) always tends to have some chrystal clear pics as a result of working with Vue, mine are generally well fogged.

Beautiful work, where are the bathrooms?

#3

left “tower”, two floors down, but take care: most times they are flooded.

These are stick figures, they don’t know what to do with a lavatory. But, there is a nice bowling room in the leftmost tower, Escher-style: you drop them balls instead of rolling them. Makes a nice rumble. Entrance restricted.

Nice work. Great mix of different software programs. Vue is pretty good at handling high poly counts.

#5

Mitch, you can bet on that!! While TS only gags whenever I import a ZBrush object (same with MAX), in Vue it is easy going: import, save off as Vue-object (browseable library!!). Could not do without it!

EDIT: forgot: this is not “best renderer”, took about 1,5 hours with predefined “final”! Nothing comes close!!

#6

very symbolic and strange mood! I like it a lot!.. what is ts? amitiés.M.

#7

Sorry, Marcel, TS=Truespace. Allmost the same as Cinema or MAX (there are differences, ok - but mainly it’s a nice modeller at a reasonable price).
Thank you for liking it! Glad you found some kind of mood (it is always the hardest thing to get into a pic - for me at least).

Zerebrush, this is excellent stuff. I really like it a lot, well done. :slight_smile: :+1: :+1: :+1:

#9

DeeVee, thank you, it’s really appreciated!!
Btw: had you a chance to look at the new version of Vue (Pro) yet? There is that much buzz going round about bugs and stuff!?

#10

I have refrained from getting it at this time. I am told that with the upgrades it is now behaving as it should. It apparently has a lot of nice features as well as a new render engine. I will let you know as soon as I decide to take the plunge :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :smiley: In the interim, I will soldier on with 4.2. I understand that they are working on an upgrade for 4.2 also, so we will see.

#11

i had great hopes for the new greenery :smiley: in Pro - if you read the compare-list at e-on: not to much changes to 4.2.
Anyway, the first one that gets it…!
Thanks for bothering!!

Hi Ze
Great Image! :cool:
But a big difference with Escher, your construction as I have seen is possible :D)
I can’t resist to take another time the best Maurits Cornelis Escher link :cool:

Pilou, my thanks, and: those folks are tiny ok, but >> look at the leftmost upper region: seems like two of them behave very much “Eschery” :wink: >> (HINTHINT: one of them stick-figures is pointing in the very direction of this tiny spot)

I tried - really - at the beginning of this pic to re-capture some more of Escher, but while doing some of them veggies - it turned out to be a bit more Z then it was planned in the first place.

#14

We have discuss of that before I don’t remember how , that is some hard to make something impossible with a real system 3D :slight_smile:
For your image I take my tong to the cat I don’t see the impossibility :slight_smile:
Can you make a close up?
But you right, somebody who see your picture think immediatly to Cornelius if he know it :
Pilou fan of Maurits

#15

Done :smiley:

I should have put a third figurine beside that horizontal doorway - perhaps. But, that was after it got more distant to Escher.
Is it possible to completely copy this stair-picture of Escher with a 3D modeller? I think it is, also I think it is of no use to do so. Once you got it how he twisted geometry…!
So this tiny spot is more of a “hommage” to Escher, nothing more!

#16

Ok The close up show more than the original :slight_smile:
Your structure is logic and constructible, it’s the personnages :slight_smile:
So we are on the moon :smiley:

I thought of Pluto, might take some time to get there just to prove me wrong :smiley: !!
