I’ve added a version of “Shattered Sky” for dual and triple-screen systems to the Members Gallery this afternoon.

I’ve added a new render of “Shattered Sky” to the Members Gallery this morning. I’ve brightened the scene considerably (it’s a pretty bright explosion after all) but haven’t made a whole lot of changes to the foreground otherwise. I think there’s enough going on in the sky. What do you think?

I’ve added dual and triple-screen versions of “Aftermath” to the Members Gallery this morning. I was trying out some different ideas of this project over the weekend, but I’ve decided to leave it as is and move on.

I’m still considering a “from the ground” view of this scene from a distant moon. Stay tuned!

It has been a banner week for generosity around here. Earlier in the week one of my Members kindly purchased a Lifetime Gift Certificate and addressed it to me with the stipulation that it be given to an active-duty servicemember or combat veteran. I announced this on my Facebook page and soon after I received another Lifetime Membership donation to match the first. Then a third Lifetime donation came in, this time earmarked for a deserving teacher!

So I have two Lifetime Memberships to give away to active-duty service members and one for a teacher. If you are an active-duty service member all you need to do to be considered is meet the above criteria and post a comment on this page. I have set up a separate page for teachers here.

All of this generosity got me thinking that I should post a page where people anyone who might need Membership, but not be able to legally acquire one, can tell their stories and people who want to help out can do so.

To help out any of these individuals simply address a gift certificate to me and and reference the person you want to receive it and I will do the rest.

03-04-14 UPDATE: The originally donated Memberships have all been delivered. The original donor for teachers was so touched by all of the responses that she purchased 1-Month gift certificates for everyone who posted!

Donations for…

• Service Members/Veterans
• Teachers
• The General Public

Thanks so much to my generous Members!!

I haven’t forgotten about my multiscreen users out there. While I still have to finish multiscreen versions of “Rite of Spring” and “Endless Blue” (I don’t considered either of those projects truly finished yet) I can finally offer a render of “Amazed” for multiple monitors.

This one was hard to render because by zooming the camera out I added a lot more vegetation to the already dense scene. It topped out at around 240 billion polygons and crashed multiple times before I was finally able to finish it (in pieces) this afternoon.

I hope it was worth the wait! I hope to have more dual and triple-screen renders soon!!
