Water Is Life (Oasis)



Multi-Screen Render

My main machine is now busily rendering a new scene (one that has taken a bit longer than usual) so I thought I would open my request mailbag. After posting “Water is Life” last year I received a number of requests for a view from within the oasis. You can’t see many of the fancy Gaea techniques that inspired me to create the scene in the first place but I think it makes a nice background all by itself. I hope you enjoy it!

A Rare Alignment



Multi-Screen Render

I created this scene on my old Bucephalus workstation using good old Lightwave 11. Newer software doesn’t seem to run that well on the old machine so I thought it would be appropriate to do a “throwback” piece of sorts, inspired by my very first Bryce planetscapes from the 90s.

I will most definitely turn back to Bucephalus for simpler scenes like this when Shadowfax and Rochallor are busy in the future. I hope you enjoy it!

Multi-Screen Render

This one has gone through quite a few variations since I started the project in the first week of January. I will have a couple of alternate versions to share in a day or so but I think this one works for me now. Always dicey posting winter images in January but I have to follow the muse…
