I will admit that I wasn’t entirely satisfied with how my “Endless Blue” re-render turned out back in January. Here’s an updated render for your consideration (see the first render here).

I’ve removed the moss from the rocks, tweaked the vegetation and re-introduced more actual blue to the scene.

It’s been rendering on my “Asfaloth” mobile workstation for longer than I care to admit but I’m glad to have it finished. What do you think? Worth the time?

I’ve added a new version of “Archipelago” to the Members Gallery this morning. The new version has more sand, calmer waters, and some new life here and there. I just have a few finishing details to add before I start in on the multiscreen. Let me know what you think!

Stay turned for my updated “Archipelago” render coming soon!!

Just returned from a weeklong escape from the brutally harsh, neverending Midwestern winter. My batteries feel nicely recharged!

The day before we left I sat down and started on a new update to my “Archipelago” scene from 2005. I was only able to work on it for a few hours before being forced to step away for our trip and it rendered while we were away.

Thankfully the power didn’t go out while we were gone and I found the render all finished when I returned. The project is still in the “rough draft” stages but I think it looks nice enough to share while I get back to work on improving it further. Thankfully I have quite a few new ideas on how to do so!

Here’s a little something I put together using displacements in Lightwave. I call it “Locus“, as it sort of recalls this render from 2003.
