Description ...Early June in Southeastern Europe, during the decline of the last Iceage. After a succesful hunt, the hunters are welcomed back in their summer camp - the catch is a wild sheep.
- My depiction of an everyday sitution in a "Cro Magnon" (more correctly: "Anatomically modern humans") group of humans. These were NOT simple cave-dwellers, but already some 35.000 years ago lived in tents during the brief summer, knew how to make clothes with needles made from fishbones etc.

Toolbox: Vue render, Poser, DAZ Studio and Photoshop.

Some have commented on the snow on the mountains looking too "little detailed" and "wrong", well, at first I had a normal "Vue-ish" noisy distribution, but after seeing some photos from the arctic tundra, I remade it - the snow tends to form much more blobby and patchy spots than a standard Vue mountain snow.

Thanks for viewing, comments etc. welcome and appreciated.

Have a nice day,
Lars

Awesome! I like the mountain snow - definitely feels different than the standard Vue snowy mountain.

lovely scene.. how do you get the colors so fresh, when I render in vue I always get a slightly washed out color

Thanks - there's no secret, just play with the materials and lighting until it looks the way you want it. I almost always use radiosity and a skydome lighting gain of at least 1. Don't just use the preset atmospheres

mhm... yes... some look quite nice to begin with but something always is wrong. I really have to figure out how to get rid of that desaturated look. Will need a bit more time.

The snowy peaks looks just like distant mountains did during the winter in northern Utah when I lived there.
