Here are some brilliant sci-fi pictures that will make evan those with already over active imagination soar. All these images are rendered in Vue, by very talented CG artist Artur Rosa. This is what this humble young man says about hiself: ”I don’t consider myself an artist. I don’t know exactly what art is but I have a feeling it’s more than what I do. Computer graphics is just a hobby for me. I started working in CG in September 2006 and my first “half-decent” image was produced in December 2006.”

My beach in a Moon crater

Artur Rosa: ”This is my third and last image in a short series with these tropical islands. This time, I placed my tropical islands in a moon crater. I imagined this crater to be completely protected by a high-tech dome, with an artificially controlled climate. And, in this beach, there’s also a boy with his beach toys. This is my second image that has the concept of a colony inside a protective dome, in an hostile environment. As usual, rendered in Vue. Very little post-work (a slight glow effect in some highlights and some small corrections).”

Flirt

Artur Rosa: ”Rendered in Vue. Characters posed in Poser, finished in Zbrush.”

Caves of Tau Ceti

Arthur Rosa: ”Another little adventure into a human colony in a far away planet. I made the planet fully in 3D, with a custom bitmap for the land/ocean, with different highlights for each, plus two cloud layers and an atmosphere layer (a very thin one but it’s there). Rendered in Vue.”

23

Arthur Rosa: ”An image full of symbolism. Made with Poser and Zbrush, rendered in Vue.”

Homeward

Arthur Rosa: ”The planet was made using Vue’s feature of planetary terrain. Made and rendered in Vue, with a little help from Poser for the character.”

The Lost City

Arthur Rosa: ”See the opening in the foreground vegetation? That’s for you to step in and enjoy the coolness of the shade and the warmth of the water. Rendered in Vue, as usual. Minor post-work in PS, just some minor corrections and some glow here and there. I really like to make islands, with the sand and water and vegetation. Have to do more.”

The Exiled Princess

Arthur Rosa: ”Made in Poser and Zbrush. Rendered in Vue.”

Tempus Fugit

Arthur Rosa: ”This was rendered in Vue, character posed in Poser and dressed in Zbrush. Background is a mix of 2 or 3 photos from Hubble and NASA, I think, but I’m not sure, I did it a while back.”
