Photoreal CG Landscapes

by bmckain7/31/08

Hello and welcome to my landscape tutorial. My name is Simon Jones. I would like to point out that I am still learning this stuff myself and am just sharing what I have learned so far. If you have any questions please feel free to email me at Simon@SI-Productions.com

Also I would like to thank Bob McKain for his help and getting with me about some different techniques to improve the images. The third image you see below was redone using some of his advice. Thanks man. Also at the end of this tutorial you can download my scene files, and tear them apart for your self. With that said, lets get started.

I have always wanted to make CG landscapes that look real. This tutorial is a result of that desire. I had been looking through the Vue 4 Professional gallery and was thinking to myself: Self, why can’t I do that in Lightwave? So I sat down and tried to do it. These pictures are the result of about 3-5 hours of work. They are not perfect and they still could use a lot of work, but they are a start.
