With verve into the light

Well, there is blender & cycles for free.
Everyone interested can use these existing tools.

For future approach with recorded script it could be interesting though

But verve can give quite impressive 3D results anyway.
This is 100% verve:

This fu***ing program is so distracting!
I was on a good way to draw decent portrait and now I am spending hours in abstracts again
Way too much fun.
I am afraid that I have to switch to mischief (which can do almost nothing except drawing) and join the Inktober movement
But wait...didn't I do plenty of other pics already.
Sure - but one can spam his own thread, and I am a master in this technique Again one page filled in a few days - crazy me.

That's pretty flipping awesome, though! Love the depth of it!
Yeah, easy to get lost in wild doodling, hehehe. But, yeah, switching modes internally is not too easy, I know. You literally have to switch speeds for decision-making, calm down and work slowly and carefully again.

Pfff, wicked program.

One of a bunch of magic pictures happening in a second.

WOw! WOW, wow, wow, Knacki!
That looks beautifully amazing!!!

....just cool. I'm trying to think of ways to describe it, but...what the heck, it's just really something! Desert storm on Mars? Looks like one of those fluid dynamics cloud simulations, you know. Really exciting to me!

Worms of Dune!

[Taron]

YES! That's it!

LOL!
I alsmost fell off my chair when I read that Knacki!@#$%^
but aint it the truth! Ive spent hours...no days...no weeks...swirling paint around on my laptop!
I love what your doing here...fluidocean!....your speaking my language

Well I hadnt wished for it until Taron said it...but now that hes planted the seed...
A 3d rendering mode for Verve is a must, essential!, gotta have it! LOL!!!!!
Sooooo much possibility...
sooooo much hidden beauty in them there fluids!
And wouldnt that be useful even to render high res versions of any verve painting?
yikes!

Are you rendering these in Blender for 3d displace or something else?
They are freaking amazing!

ps - have you seen the new eevee realtime rendering engine coming to V8...mindblowing!

Haha - dune!
I just gave the worm a bit of extra treatment and uploaded it again in upper post.
Original is > 2000x3000. Bunch of details.

Here is another one from the series today - hell! what a ride!!

@stavros
I used 3ds max + iray and a simple daylight system.
Very simple renderer. I am sure one can do same or better in blender with cycles.
I used a displacement modifier and some million polygons to make a real displacement.
Somewhere in my thread I described the procedure.
For displacement in blender, michalis, a good old sculptris fellow and render guru described it pretty well in this thread - and even much more:
https://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?273033-Sculpting-with-UVs-and-displacements

Ja - the new realtime stuff is looking very promising.

sweet
thanks
yah Ive tried it in blender and my system starts to choke on a mesh with enough polygons to get a detailed displacment.
Your landscape renders look awsome...I did some a while back but they were crude in comparison.
Keep it coming...love reading your posts!
