Waterfalls

Created in Vue with a lot of post work for sharpening, color correction, hand painted waterfalls and water. I wanted to show a scene from a photograph I found online but with a fantasy / fiction slant (hence the Byzantine temple).

I had previously created a matte painting for this using Vue just for some elements that I added in Photoshop.

for this piece I did as much work in Vue and rendered out a multi-pass psd file and then added the hand painted elements, I think I’m much happier with the Vue piece.

I added a sky photograph and blended it with the Vue sky and also painted in some sky glow to mix the far distance into the scene. If you look closely there are a few early evening stars but they are only a few pixels so hard to see.
