The vine house has been completed to my satisfaction.
The house was created in Hexagon, all texturing and rendering was done in Vue 7 Complete. The vine plant was created in the plant editor.
Hope you enjoy it.

Friday, January 23rd, 2009Started working on the background for the ivy house, pretty happy with how it came out.
Ivy House
Wednesday, January 21st, 2009Inspired by Walther Becks ivy on cornucopia3d I have started work on a house covered by ivy. I have modelled the house on one from Tosterup, Skane in Sweden, and have created an ivy plant using a picture of an ivy leaf and editing the spring hollyhock plant.
Each of the ivy leaves has a different color tone to add some variety, its starting to look a bit better but I really want to get the texture on the house to look more weatherbeaten.

Function Editor – A Learning Process – Part 1
Friday, January 16th, 2009I am in the process of learning the function editor in Vue 7 Complete by using the fantastic tutorials at geek at play, the vue 7 manual and a lot of trial and error.
So far I am having a fair deal of sucess, in that its not as scary as it first appears, its just a case of learning where everything is and having the creativity to know what it is you want to achieve and how to make things more realistic.
