It cant do much better, this is a very accomplished image however it can be done and done well. TG2 can certainly do better water and for some reason I don't like the bird (funky stork/heron :) ) Oh and buzzes recent work on the bui;dings is way ahead :(

Is the creator of the image willing to share the trees, grasses and the building and the terrain? Otherwise, it would be hard to compare.
I agree with Cyphyr, that this render is really good. Would you say that's standard Vue quality, or is this above and beyond the average Vue render quality?
I would also be interested in how long it took the creator of the image to construct the scene, and also the render time.

Again, a nice image. Congratulations to the guy who made it.

Cheers,
Frank

Your avatar is making me mad. Please can you have it stand still? It really goes on my nerves. Please. :D

I think that the few people who do exceptional Vue renders could excel incredibly if they gave TG2 two months.  It's just a possibility...
So this is Disney World.  Can we live here?

Jack

um Well i think this is about maximum vue 6 render abilities and I don't think so with the trees and grasses we can impovise though and the house well maybe we can find something similar I have a beach house for daz that looks like this put i payed for that ::)

and its almost certainly been post worked with that kind of ethereal lighting

This image is from Ken Wellings (KenWas) and he's an accomplished Vue artist. So what we're looking at here is really an above average quality image.
I think he didn't spend that much work/time on this one. I've seen better images from him before.
However, with the same models available TG2 can easily match this and probably do even better. The clouds for starters aren't that good (oh yes, here we go again :)) and the lighting is a bit flat somehow.

This could be really funny. Especially if you send them a really good TG render for them to replicate in Vue  ;)
I already have!
I sent them this

well its a vue 6 render you can tell with the clouds and the lighting

Vue 6 or 7, whatever....they asked to see if TG is capable of something like this and thus my answer was and still is yes, and better.

It seems you're going to make them cry for mercy with that example-image for them to match :)

Well we've all produced images that are, shall we say, "under par", lol

Remember Bryce anyone ? I remember being so excited and proud of images I made in Bryce that I would not dare to show today :)

This is a good example of the fact that it is not the software but the artist that makes great images. I hope the artist who made this image is proud of his work and recognises (albeit quietly :) ) that the quality of the work is down to themselves rather than the software.

Would be fun to try  to emulate but I fear the comparison would be unfair, we'd just end up getting inspired and go and do something entirely differant lol :)

well I think that image is amazing he must know vue in and out to produce an image like that :o
Some of the Vue renders I have seen are spectacular their is this guy who does renders that look like paintings not realistic but a work of art I mean I personally don't like realism If i wanted to make a picture ofa forest with mountain i would go out and take a photo it would only appeal to me if it had a big planet over the top of it or a sci fi getaway tucked into the trees but that's just my taste ;D

oh and yeah i used to use bryce 2 lol that was my first piece of 3d software!

Sounds like a challenge to me.  ;)  Yeah, Ken is very good with Vue.  I have used Vue and after about 2 months got pretty good with it simply because it's a much easier program to learn. I personally think anyone who thinks Vue is better, really means it's easier. I'm sure some will take offense to that, but that's the way I see it.

FrankB,  Martins avatar was getting on my nerves so bad I disabled avatars in the preferences section. That one of wetbanana's makes me want to take a hammer to it. Grrrrrrr  Must an old age thing? LOL

Later, got to run and find a beach house and a heron.  :D

One of these guys? Nice stuff, but still possible in TG2.

Nope. Galileo was right for the simpler reason that he was right.
