Maya2011 and Vue10 Xstream Integration:
This illustration, was created for self skill practice 'Vue10' and testing the integration of Vue10 and Maya2011. The main objective was to find out if the combination of Vue10 and Maya2011 would actually support some EASE or add some VALUE while creating 3D scenes with nature. As i heard good reviews about Vue, and wanted to experience the Vue 10 Xstream and create something in nature.
I am really a big fan of John Howe Illustration of fantasy, one of his illustration of forest with 'Giant Gate' like monument really admired me. I thought this can be good idea to use the same scene as example try to render into 3D.
Reference image:
Some more reference images i found on internet for adding more details on man made structure in scene. I noticed the idea of Giant Gate was always there created by many different civilization. Few i selected for their cultural detailing on structure are as follow.
