Did a little more work on my desert scene. I discovered I liked the multiscreen version of β€œAfter the Rain” more than the single-screen so I tried to bring those qualities to this new version. Since the new framing showed considerably more of the sky I added a receding storm cloud to bring the whole theme together.

Let me know what you think in the comments πŸ™‚

I was a bit under the weather last week so that slowed things down a bit on my end. Started feeling better over the weekend and created this desert scene to test some of the features in the latest version of Gaea.

The wet sand is something new I’m trying πŸ™‚

I hope you enjoy it!!

Quite a few folks requested a moonlit version of “Shoreline” and I am all too happy to oblige. Again, I didn’t try to do too much with this one. Sometimes less is more. I hope you enjoy it!!

Before digging back into learning Houdini I wanted to create something peaceful and minimal using VUE. As much as I like to push the envelope to try new stuff, quiet beach scenes like this are comfort food to me.πŸ˜ƒ
I hope you enjoy them too!

I’d also like to mention that the a la carte system is back so non-Members can now purchase individual wallpapers. My new non-watermarked files are available and folks can now use a shopping cart to purchase multiple wallpapers at once.

After I posted the UKR version of “Fluorescence” a few weeks ago some folks noticed that the new version looked a bit “cleaner” than the original. It’s true that I had to clean some things up to render that a new version of that file.

Fluorescence[6] is probably my most famous render, but I’ve never been able to create proper versions for modern monitors because I created it using an old version of Lightwave (version 6) and the newer versions render things a bit differently.

This is my basically my attempt to create a more “modern” version of an old wallpaper for 4k monitors and above. I used Lightwave 11 this time so I’ve reflected that in the title. Will I render a new version using my new tools someday? Of course πŸ˜„

On a personal note I just returned from some much needed family time away from the workstation and I am looking forward to getting back to my crystals.
