When I was creating “Cloudbreak” back in January my original idea was to add a forest to the scene. I was worried, however, that it would take too long to render so I went forward without trees. I recently decided to reopen the scene and see if I could add them and have the scene render economically (on Shadowfax no less). To better see the individual trees (and shave a few hours off the render time) I’ve zoomed in the camera just a bit. Sunrise version forthcoming…
Either this render or the original will go into the Pickle Jar shortly so let me know which you prefer!

If you’ve followed my work for a while you’ll know that I am endlessly fascinated by flowers. While “Park Place” was monopolizing my main machine I thought I would re-familiarize myself with my old trusty Plant Factory software on my Shadowfax workstation. Initially my goal was to create an update to “Dreams of Avarice” that I could then import into Cinema4D and explore the texturing system there, but as I hashed things out in VUE I found I was fairly happy with the results.
I still may try it in the future either with this mesh or another. I hope you enjoy it!!

As mentioned last time, I started this night version of “Park Place (Spring)” rendering even before I posted the day scene. I’d hoped to have it ready in a few days but did not factor in that all the extra lights and shadow calculations would blow up the render time. It took far longer that I anticipated but I hope it was worth the wait!
While it was rendering on Rochallor I started a new practice project (an abstract) on Shadowfax which should be ready soon. Stay tuned!

My apologies that this one took quite a bit longer than usual. Unfortunately my Crohn’s disease reared its ugly head after a few years of remission and I had to spend a few days in the hospital. I’m feeling much better now but sadly it’s a problem that can come back at any time without warning.
I had been working on a new addition to my spring gallery and I’m happy to finally be able to share it. This one is a continuation of a park theme I started back in 2020. I’d initially set out to create something more like “Chisen” but halfway through I shifted gears.
I hope you enjoy it! A night version is already rendering. Thanks everyone for your patience and for continuing to support my work!!

As mentioned last time, here’s a night version of “Galatea” with some glowing flora. Played around with a few different options but in the end I decided to stick with the unconventional color palette here for the night scene.
I hope you enjoy it!!
