Part 5 of the guide relates to the sky tab in the atmosphere editor. All the renders on this page are at 800×600 and are rendered at Broadcast Quality.
The sky tab is a page that is only available in the Standard Model of Atmospheres. The default atmosphere is used and set to the Standard model, the result is as follows:
This fourth part will cover the remainder of the settings from the Light tab as the first part would be too long otherwise. For the first part of this guide the default spectral model will be used. There will be an inclusion of a cone and a cube as shown in the render below. All renders are at 800×600 on the “broadcast” quality setting.
This is a rather open ended section of the guide as it would take me literally forever to create examples of EVERY lighting model for every different type, so for the purposes of this section I will stick with the default atmopshere with spectral model being used. A basic scene has been produced with a cube with the default texture and a green “plastic” cone. All renders are done at 800×600 in “Broadcast” preset.
As an example of how long it takes to render in each of the lighting schemes a basic grass scene will be used, the atmosphere preset is “default”.
This second part of the Rough Guide to the Atmosphere Editor will cover the first tab – “Sun” which is used for the standard, volumetric and spectral model.
The settings are pretty much identical in each of the models so this will be a relatively short episode.
Another new product – Greek Pottery Collection Volume 2

This is a continuation of my Rough Guide series which proved to be very popular for the water editor to Vue 7. This series will focus on the atmosphere editor of Vue 7 Complete in a similar style (If anyone wants to buy me Vue 8, please, feel free 
) I make the assumption that you own vue/have the ple and have a rough knowledge of how it works. Although some of it may seem patronising or obvious, this is not my intention. I just want to write down how it works and what it does.
This series is being completed for the purpose of me learning the atmosphere editor and in the hope that while doing so, others can learn from what I write. At present i feel that one of my weakest parts of using vue is the atmospheres I use.
If you notice any mistakes or omissions please let me know and I will amend them!
The first part of this series will be on the model types that are allowed with vue, although this will probably not be the most scientific of tutorials I aim to show working examples of how the different settings alter the scene.
Created in Vue 7 Complete using some new plants I acquired from Martin Frost of C3D and the freestuff bit of Renderosity
I have reworked some parts of my farmhouse image that I was unhappy with, with the results below. I am almost happy with the results now, but I am tempted to redo some of the farmhouse itself and make it look more derelict.
Comments and improvements welcomed!
Modelling in Lightwave 9.6 – Landscape Created in Vue 7 Complete
Rather a quick problem solution today which was nice.
A chap from the newtek forums named Kuzey suggested that I tried to cut the front of the house away (and other affected areas) and paste it back into the mesh in lightwave without re-merging the points would stop the error, which was more than likely a smoothing error.
The model was exported as OBJ and now works correctly with Vue.
Thanks very much to kuzey!
Anyone who wants the model of the house can take it free, it is also going to be up on renderosity freestuff later this evening.
It would be nice if anyone was to use it if they would post a link to their image in the comments section.
