I’ve added the dual and triple-screen versions of “Elegy (Winter/Day)” to the Members Gallery this morning. The lightning solution turned out a bit brighter for this version so let me know if that is a problem.
I am still waiting for this Christmas render to finish. Thousands of tiny luminous objects on a 400MB mesh makes for a very complicated radiosity pre-gather…
Lastly, I was floored by the response to my AMA on Reddit last Friday. I only mean’t to write answers for a couple of hours but it turned into an all-day affair with me re-connecting with a lot of fans who, for whatever reason, lost track of my work over the years.
Anyway, I had a blast answering as many questions/posts as I could and may have a little something for the Redditors coming up by way of thanks…

While I wait (and wait) for the Christmas render to finish I have decided to participate in a Q&A in Reddit. Feel free to ask your questions for the next hour or so.
Edit: 9 hours later it is the top rated AMA of the day. I’ve had a blast answering literally hundreds of questions. Will be doing clean-up replies for the next hours or so then movie night with the family.

I’ve added dual and triple-screen versions of “An Octopus’s Garden” to the Members Gallery this afternoon. I think it turned out pretty well in the end, but I’m still steamed that I lost my original file. I suspect it happened when I selected “Compress File” while saving y Vue scene. All of my files will be saved uncompressed from now on (even though they are 3 – 6 GB each sometimes).
What would you guys like to see next? Are you ready for some new Christmas art, or maybe a winter scene, or something else?

I’ve added the dual and triple-screen versions of “Helios” to the Members Gallery this morning. I hope to have the multiscreen for “An Octopus’s Garden” up ASAP!
