Drea Horvath – Digital Landscaper

Drea’s Bio:

I was born and still live in Budapest, Hungary. I am a 3rd-year university student of Health Sciences, and a self-trained digital artist who have become addicted to 3D Landscaping a bit less than two years ago.
Back in late 2007, when I was browsing wallpapers for my desktop, I came across some nice 3D landscape renders, and I started wondering how to make them – I wanted to make my own desktop wallpapers. That’s how I found Bryce (just like many artists, I started with it), and after some weeks playing with it, I joined a great art community, where I found some beautiful landscapes rendered in Vue. Well, it didn’t take too long for me to get my hands on Vue 6 Infinite, and I quickly found myself composing more and more landscapes.
I kept posting my renders to art sites, and all the advice, constructive criticism and – mostly positive – feedback from both new and experienced artists made me want to improve my skills, experiment and work even more. My hobby became my passion, and after a year of experimenting, I decided to take 3D landscaping more seriously; I collected some training materials, created my Portfolio, and met professional artists whose tips and tricks helped me improve.
Some weeks ago I decided to test myself as a freelancer. Now I work for iMU Studios; I take part in a video game project as a digital landscaper and terrain designer. It’s a great honor for me to be a member of this wonderful team.

Mysteries Of Maya


Mysteries_Of_Maya_by_iMUDa1

First proper scene done in Vue 8 Infinite. I created a bunch of procedural terrain and sculpted then using the new editing functions. The Eco systems where challenging to set up correctly, and caused some serious frustrating. Eventually the real problem came when the atmosphere needed to be done. Well, an angel come to the rescue ! :hug:=00AngelicDevil00 made this amazing atmosphere and lighting setup. Before her magic touch, the scene wasn’t showing its scale and details. After she did her magic, scale and depth were present and made an otherwise wacky scene beautiful. :glomp: Also did some minor post in PS.

Can you feel the mystery?

Thanks for viewing :)

Lushy Godray Forest

mysterious foggy forest… This scene was a challenge to create! But I am happy with how it turned out.
The godrays in Vue 8 Infinite are really nice.

Some postwork was done in PS CS4

Hope you like it! :)
