Hypogeum (Red/Blue)

I received many requests for different color variations of “Hypogeum” so I spent the weekend playing around the scene.  I did some simple color shifts using Photoshop but they didn’t really excite me (but I will add one or two of those to the Pickle Jar at a later date).   It wasn’t until I added some color contrast by changing the lighting and re-rendering that I felt the scene was actually improved.   

Let me know how you feel this new render compares to the original!  I’ll need to decide which to feature and which to store in the Pickle Jar but for now both versions are in the gallery.

Hypogeum

I’ve wanted to get back into working with Plant Factory for a while and recently took the opportunity open it back up.   The goal here was to create a luminous, abstract type scene with a fairly detailed central focus contrasting with a minimal environment.   Sometimes my scenes can get a little busy with too many details and I wanted to get away from that here.   I took advantage of Gaea2 for the surrounding environment and I’m looking forward to learning more of its many new features in 2025!

Hope you guys don’t mind all the purple images I’ve been making lately! 💜

Land's End

More practice here incorporating photo-scanned objects into my VUE workflow.   The rest of the world has been using these types of 3D assets for years so it’s time I got with the program.     With “Coda” the goal was an intimate, small scene.   Here I’m trying to create something massive and epic.   I hope you enjoy it!

Coda (Winter)

When I started the working on a Winter version of “Coda” I attacked the daytime version first.   It wasn’t clicking for me so I switched to working on a night version and discovered the atmospheric settings that finally brought the daytime scene together for me.   I’m glad you guys have enjoyed this scene!   It was definitely fun to learn some new techniques.

I may revisit it once more (possibly for Spring or Summer) but right now I’m ready to move on to new vistas.
