populus alba - pioppo bianco

157.410 polygons
You can see the double side leafes, one green and one white.


Acer opalus

See the video in HD on youtube
I start new way for modelling the trees, completely in VUE9.
I must use another tree such a base, but the tree can be animated with tre wind!!!

This Acer is composed only by 57458 polygons.
render time : 8h35m

yes I do!

Today I buy my first 3d software! E-on software VUE9, value 1500$!!!
But I'm lucky,only 110 € for a student.
So  I can render without mark on image, finally!!!!
First render :)

map texturing test



In this render I wanto to study the effecnt of textures stratification.
I think the map base is so good  

Making of "Witness"



I follow a interesting tutorial on cornucopia3d.
This tutorial improves an advanced texturing with 17 layers!!! very hard!

So I want to use this multiple layers to populate my thesis with different kind of trees.

render from my thesis

After 3 days of boring installation (3d studio max, vue9, Vray, Frayrender, RealFlow, rhionoceros, Autocad and Sketchup) I'm starting to work very hard to my thesis.

Sometime, to enjoy myself, I must do some renders. this is one of them:

grass test




the last one is very nice, but I don't know how to create a grass void under the trees ...

vue9

My thesis is focus on green representation problems.
I'm studying a famous ecosystem developer program : VUE9


So I poste some of my works and experiments.

Why this blog?

I'm going to graduate in architecture in june whit a graphical thesis in geometry and digital design.

I'd like to become a very good digital architect/artist, so this blog rises to show you my works.

thank you so much for the visits and comments.
