Bones of the Earth (Glow)

I mentioned last time that a Member sent me some photos of a cave that inspired me to try to make my own. Well, those photos featured glowworms which lit the cave up like a starry night. After modeling the cave for the “Bones of the Earth” render, I’ve turned down the lights and added my own glowy denizens.

I hope you enjoy it. Multiscreen coming very soon!

Bones of the Earth

It’s been a while since I’ve attempted a cave render and one of my fans recently shared some photos which inspired me to try my hand at it again.

The geometry was started in Lightwave and sculpted using Zbrush before importing into Vue.

I have future plans for this scene…:-)

Primordia

I’ve been mostly working on some back-end stuff this past week and waiting for my new server to go online. Once it is online I will be migrating my site to the new box (hopefully before the end of the week). Not doing any redesigns at this time but I will seriously be looking into it once the site is moved.

While waiting for my new box to go online I’ve put together a view of “Beginnings” from the surface of a primordial satellite. I learned a great deal about Vue’s “displaced ocean” settings for this one. The multiscreen version is already rendering on Bucephalus.

I hope you enjoy it!

Beginnings

Looking back through this year’s renders I noticed that I had yet to do a single outer space scene. I sincerely apologize for this oversight on my part and offer “Beginnings” to rectify the matter. This piece attempts to (artistically) capture the moment a star ignites amidst the primordial dust.

Dual and triple-screen versions are also available. I hope you enjoy it!!

Bouquet

I used to make this sort of abstract using “Xfrog”, but I have to admit that “The Plant Factory” is a lot more powerful. The upside is that I can use this geometry as a plant in Lightwave if I so fancy (and I just might…).

Dual and triple-screen versions are also available. Don’t be surprised if I post a few revisions in the days ahead as this one is still fluid 🙂
