The dual and triple-screen versions of “Endless Blue (Night)” are finally available. I’m still not sure why this one takes so long to render but I’m glad it’s finished!!

My Members have been requesting a way to browse my Pickle Jar for a long time now. Here’s a start…

It’s still a work-in-progress but it is mostly functional. Let me know what you think!

So I spent the past few days trying to get this scene to render in under half the time, yet also without the noise that has plauged the earlier versions. In addition to tweaking the renderer I’ve decided to lose the transparency/refractions.

This version renders faster, is cleaner, and I think also has better contrast. The savings in render time allowed me to add a bit of volumetric light as well.

Dual and triple-screen versions are available as well.

Let me know what you think!

Here’s my nearly final version of “Inner Space”. I thought it would be interesting to introduce some purple into the mix. Let me know what you think!

While waiting for a couple of renders to finish I thought I would tackle a site feature that many have requested.

It’s long been possible to buy someone a Membership using a Gift Certificate. My Pay-It-Forward program allowed one to renew a random Member (as a random act of kindness) but it has never been possible to purchase a renewal for an active Member (and thus keep alive the Membership that was initially given).

To fix this I’ve added a Gift Renewal page where all you need to do is enter the recipient’s username or account email address to get started.

It would seem to me that such a renewal would be the perfect gift. After all, the recipient has already shown that they enjoy my work enough to go the extra mile and become a Member.

Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions!!
