Christmas Ethereal

Thanks to Ian Warren who suggested that my “Winter Ethereal” render would make a nice Christmas scene with some lights added to the trees.     When I first created the spring version I did so with a mix of “instance” trees (tree objects populated procedurally) and one tree that I placed intentionally.  I certainly wasn’t thinking about the holidays back in April but if they’d been all instances I would have had to add lights to all the trees and that (I feel) would have been a bit overwhelming.   

I think it works better if there’s just one tree lighting up the surrounding darkness. Hope you enjoy it!

The signed calendars and cards have all gone out to my Donors and Patrons.   Thanks so much everyone for going above and beyond to support my work.   This year has been a bit of challenge due to some changes with my credit card merchant bank so your support has been vital.

If you’ve enjoyed my work this year I hope you will consider dropping a little extra support in my Tip Jar!
